Oh course he can. This is his property. People can not simply move into others peoples property because they feel like it.
You broke your lease as soon as you moved another person in, so you can be easily evicted.
Either move out, put him on the lease, or boot the boyfriend, who should be supporting himself anyway. You can not expect the property owner to simply allow anyone who wants to shck up on their property to do so. |

If your lease specifies one dog, then your boyfriend's dog is one dog too many and yes, he can tell you the dog can't live there.
If your boyfriend is not on the lease you can't just move him in, because if you move out the boyfriend will then have to be evicted, and why should the landlord have to do that? If you don't get his name put on the lease then yes, the landlord can tell you he can't live there.
The "big deal" is the law. |

my lease says anyone who stays more than 6 days must put there name on the lease, go through a background check and only one pet. This is to keep wondering people away from our apartment building. Ours is a zero tolerance for drugs and people with serious criminal records. According to what you've said, he can throw all of you out for violating the lease agreement. |

You cannot just move a boyfriend and a dog in and think it's OK. You need to go through the process of telling the landlord that you would like them to move in, and he will likely have to fill out an application, and the extra dog will have to be mentioned and accounted for.
Your landlord will be absolutely within his rights to throw the boyfriend and his dog out. And don't try to sneak and keep him there, because chances are the landlord is going to keep a close eye on your place.
I would go to your landlord and talk to him about adding the boyfriend to your lease, and increase the number of pets. Landlord may, and would be within his rights, ask for an increased security deposit.
There are so many legal issues that could arise with the boyfriend living there without being on the lease. |

does the rent include water, electric, HVAC. If so, these costs increase with more people living in the place. |

Your landlord is within his rights to demand that all occupants of legal age be signers of the lease, or be required to leave. Ask your landlord if he will include, via addendum, your boyfriend on your lease. If he refuses to do so (for reasons of credit or criminal past), then your boyfriend will need to leave. |

You signed a legally binding contract and agreed to all the terms, if you did not like the terms you did not have to sign off on the agreement, you can not alter the terms after the fact |

YOU have broken your word. You signed a lease and you have breached it. Good that you pay on time, but that's not the only promise you made in the lease. READ your lease.
YES. He can throw you all out. This is a BIG deal: He rented to one person and one dog. To change that, you need to make an adjustment to your lease. To just move in your boyfriend and another dog without discussing things with him was breaching your lease, and not a smart way to proceed and your landlord is understandably upset. There's a lot more noise and wear and tear on the apartment and premises because occupancy has just doubled. He was nice enough to permit you a pet, and you moved in another dog without even talking to him! He feels taken advantage of by you--nice to you, gave you an inch and you took two miles!!!
Suggest you go to landlord, APOLOGIZE and ask what you can do to work things out. OFFER to put up a larger deposit because of 2nd dog. Landlord may insist on getting rid of BF and his dog, or may raise rent or deposit or both, may add BF & dog to lease, or insist on getting all of you out. |

If your boyfriend is not on the lease, he is not legally entitled to live there, and yes, the landlord can toss him to the curb, and his little dog too. Either have him sign the lease as well, or make him move out. The house belongs to the landlord, so his rules are what you need to follow. The law is on his side. |

i don't think it's so much about the dog as it is a second person living there without a lease. when you signed your lease, i'm sure your landlord did a credit/background check on you. now you've got someone living there they they know nothing about. you and him could get into a fight, you storm off, he's stuck with a squatter. see about getting your lease amended. |

Your boyfriend is not on the lease nor is his dog. The landlord has every right to evict all of you. |

Most leases benefit the landlord. Read it. You should have talked to your landlord before making such a costly mistake. |
