Go talk to a lawyer that does both LLC work and pre- post-nuptial agreements / cohabitation agreements so you can get some LLC and family law advice at the same time.

They are weary, stale, flat and ultimately unprofitable to comprehensible agreement of business, marriage or cohabitation on the planet of arbitrary length.

That's a problem any time you've got unrelated people cohabiting, but my educated guess is it's more of a problem with folks who are here temporarily and have limited housing options.Hard to generalize, of course ...

I'm not your lawyer and this is not legal advice, etc.IF YOU STAY IN WASHINGTON, WATCH OUT, BRO.A 2-second google search showed me that Washington state recognizes some sort of nonsense called committed intimate relationships, which means that if you and your girlfriend live together and split expenses, she may have a claim on all your property, even if it is 100% owned by you and even if you do not hold yourselves out as being married.To avoid this, you will need to enter into a cohabitation agreement with your girlfriend, clearly setting out what is yours and what is hers (for example, all real estate now owned or later acquired). 

I think I would also say it is "not a fit" or working out and lay out a reasonable cash for keys arrangement (and maybe mention the alternative would be a for cause eviction on the bricks, sticks, and bullets)...I would just call it tuition at bad tenant university.That said, if you are going to willingly be in this gritty type tenant group that resolves disagreements with gun play, dodging bullets and such, then I would maybe up my life insurance, get a bullet proof vest (really, I would for late night visits about noise calls) and rent to the remaining tenant and hang tight for her next adventure or interesting co-habitant as you will have a front row seat for all the action.Best of luck!

I asked a co-habitant to vacate.  

I think it is crazy to require all applicants to have 3x rent, it should be household income for the people that will be living in the unit.You can make the strongest wage earner the primary tenant, the person to stay if relationships fail.If I were you I would change my personal income standard and look at maybe adding other standards that reduce your risk of tenants not following through, such as looking at how long they have had their jobs and how long they have co-habitated.  

I don't see courts being any more forgiving to landlords, should a tenant bring a suit. . . .FYI -- A few states still officially ban cohabitation (Florida repealed its law against cohabitation a few years ago).

If the names are not on the lease, then they are not tenants.Families are easy in the regard but it becomes paramount when there are cohabiting roommates.
