In my own experience:1 out of 3 whole house STR tenant is entitled.1 out of 5 room only STR is entitled.1 out of 6 potential LTR applicant is entitled.Sometimes I deny their request when I smell their potential entitlement behavior ;-) LOL

Essentially, the upside is a bet on SF real estate continuing to rise - a good bet over the last 30 years.Cons of keeping: (1) unreasonable, tenant-skewed rent control laws - master tenants can bring in up to 2 subtenants per bedroom without landlord consent; rent increases of only 1-2% per year max; just-cause eviction law - hard to evict except for very bad behavior, so tenants essentially have a life-estate as long as they pay the rent; if you evict with owner move-in, it "taints" the building for 10 years limiting the option to condo convert, etc.; (2) the building is (10%?)

It’s kind of a trope among the 20 somethings, pairing off just to afford the nice apartment.In Jersey it’s required that everyone over the age of 18 living in the apartment (sleeping over more then 7 nights a month) is on the lease regardless of relationship, and this includes adult children.Everyone is responsible for their behavior and care for the property.

While I can report her bad behavior, there is currently no other way to resolve the water bill issue other than changing the agreement, but that could be a long time coming. 

Regarding whether the actions of the sponsorship group constitute a bad boy clause behavior will be something to dig in more detail. 

@Joshua Myers, I have no idea why you insisted on writing the first paragraph. 30 years in the work force and 30 years doing my own thing, I never comment on people's behaviors without knowing them.

(actually happened)Showing up more than 10 minutes late without calling or textingInability (or unwillingness) to comport themselves in a reasonably polite and businesslike manner during a showing.Rude behavior (to me or to others in their party).
