., they will become a tenant, simply by virtue of living there.If there is no written contract, then in CA, the contract is presumed to be month-to-month.So, if/when you ever break up, and you have to kick her out, in CA you give her 30 days written notice if she's been there less than a year, and 60 days notice if she's been there over a year.No need to discuss it with her at all :-)And I'm not an expert on community property (which is the law in CA), but I think as long as she doesn't help with any house payments or house repairs, then she would have no claim to the house.

You are young, and presumably (or hopefully, though you did not mention) have low fixed expenses.

Using those two pieces of data, perhaps we can do a high-level analysis of the value of your brand versus the value of your other marketing efforts, which presumably can be replicated without your brand.

I really get that having a dog damage the property is not the optimal outcome AND I want to say HOLD ON THERE just a second to the landlords so quickly pulling the trigger to have this dog abandoned, presumably into the system of shelters that end up putting them down.I agree, the tenant is responsible for the cost of repairs AND your time to make the repairs.
