Hi all!
I’m interested in buying a triplex to house hacking in Los Angeles. I have a question about tenant situation.

The triplex is consisted of 3/3, 4/2, 2/1. Currently 4/2 and 2/1 are tenant occupied. I plan to move in after purchase and live there as my primary residence.

My question is, is it a valid reason for me to ask the tenant in 2/1 to move out on the ground of owner needs to occupy the property? I live by myself, so it doesn’t make sense for me to live in the vacant unit in front that’s 3/3.

This tenant is currently on month to month, i believe she’s living there for more than one year. That’s all I could gather before my offer is accepted.
Any guidance & advise is appreciated :)

Thanks Colleen! You are right, they are still waiting for hospital to finalize their extension.

Quote from @Colleen F.:

@Wenai Ji I usually pro rate but it depends on what your lease says. If you prorate do ask them when they plan to stay until and are they staying until the end of the month or do they want to give you a date now that they will leave because my guess is they aren't leaving on day 20.

Thank you David! I agree with you, better customer service goes a long way :)

Quote from @David M.:

@Wenai Ji Up to you whether you want to charge a full month or prorate.

I usually prorate tenants moving in/out as long as they turn over possession.

Sometimes better customer service goes a long way.

Hi all,

I have 2 nurses staying at my place, they initially signed a lease for 2months. Towards end of their lease, hospital extended their contract so they want to extend their stay for another 20days.

In this case, do I probate their rent or charge a full month rent?

Thank you!
