Rachel Pivonka Potential Tenant Question

Landlord may also increase the rent at any such time that a new tenant is added to the lease or premises.It's extremely important that everyone which will be living there be accounted for aside from a liability standpoint, think of this 1 scenario (out of many more) your tenant pays in full then when 'tenant' 2 moves in they decide to split the rent... this goes on for awhile but then tenant 2 - which was never placed on the lease - doesn't pay their fair share -- the situation just got very complicated if #2 is not on the lease (jointly and severally may not apply) and much more so if you don't have solid 'guests' policy, outlining who is considered a guest and at what point they become a tenant, aside from rent, there are provision in your lease that tenants need to abide by, if someone did not sign the lease and it is not outlined in your guests policy, they don't really have to abide by them.
