graphicsejs | Landlord/Apartment issue...please help!!? |
My boyfriend and I moved/rented a 2 bed/2bath condo for $864 a month in Tempe, AZ. His little sister had an extenuating circumstance with her roommates and needed to move in with us. Now my landlord wants to come up with a new higher payment for rent per month. We pay all the utilities. Can he charge us extra per month?
I thought we were paying to rent the space not rent per person... what should I do? It does not out line this in our lease.
Additional Details
It does not outline this issue in the lease, I am not in violation of anything. Once again I pay ALL the utilities. The landlord owns the space & pays home-owners insurance only on the place. |

If it is not covored in the lease, then you have the right to have additional people living with you. In this case the landlord has no right to raise the rent.
However, read your lease carefully. Many times there are clauses buried in the fine print that states only the people signed on the lease are allowed to reside on the property. Other times there are limits of how many people can live at the house. I have been a landlord in Arizona and the typical 'Standard' leases used there almost always have clauses like this.
If you find nothing, there might be three things going on here: There are limits to who can live there and you just can't pick the language out of all the legalese (possible) the landlord is trying to bully you and use this as an excuse to get more money even though it is not in the lease (quite possible) or somehow you've gotten on his bad side and he's trying to bully you off (maybe he has someone else who is willing to pay more (Not likely, but possible).
I'd handle it this way. Don't be confrontational, and tell the landlord you want to do the right thing, but as you see on the lease you have the right to have someone else live with you. Ask your landlord to show you where on the lease you can't.
If he shows you something that says you can't have someone else, then try to negotiate a deal you both can live with. If he can't show you something that gives him that right, just say that if he wants to renegotiate the lease, okay, but for the extra $X a month he'll need to put in all new appliances, fix the garage door, allow you to paint the house all black inside and out...etc?
Good luck. |

if it is rented at the onset of the agreement with 2 persons noted in the A, the you have to abide by the A.
If you have no person impact on the A and the amount of persons do not apply, then you can move in another.
LLs rent homes & apts preicated on the impact of the people and the vehicular traffic they produce.
so check your A and/or lease and abide by it , because in my A's, I put amt of persons renting plus vehicles on site.
If you over run your A, you pay another 100-200 for the additional person & their vehicle. |

check the 14 day law, if you have a guest that visits for less than 14days and leaves ...it cannot be raised.
however, if they can prove you stayed longer, you get a raise, plus he, LL, can charge for onsite parking for the extra vehicle from day one.
don't get caught up with a towed vehicle to prove a point and count those days. |

Check your lease, as it has the final say on how many and who may live there, but the landlord rented to your and your boyfriend. Unless otherwise stated in your lease, you are now changing the terms of your lease, and the landlord has the right to change the rent when a new lease is made. |

If it's not outlined in your lease that you do not need to pay more for an additional individual. Housing is rented by the space not by the person. The Landlord can only raise the amount of the rent after the full-term of any rental agreement has expired. |

I rented an apartment once that had the "extra roommate" fee's listed on the lease. I don't know the laws, but it seems that if it's not spelled out, there isn't anything that can happen. Offer the landlord that you and your boyfriend will move out and leave your sister....ask how much the rent will decrease. |

Read your lease. |

The answer will be in your lease.
If it sais that only 2 of you are allowed to live in there--- then he can raise your rates. If it does not say anything about how many people can occupy the unit you legally do not have to pay him any extra.
Either way he sounds like a total creep. Most landlords would not care one way or another. Because it does not effect them either way. |

Most state and federal laws only indicate that there can be no additional charge/discrimination against your own children. If this is your sister and she is over eighteen years of age, he is within his rights to increase the rents for her. No, you don't just rent the space. Your lease covers you and your boyfriend. His sister isn't on the lease, and can therefore legally be called a month-to-month tenant, and he can charge additionally for her.
Please refer to Arizona Statutes Sec. 33-1368 A. (sub) 1 |

did u sign a lease? if so then ur landlord cannot add extra money to your rent. being that you have a lease i would not worry about what he says. READ YOU LEASE! ur paying for two bedrooms so to have a 2nd person occupy the other bedroom would not be like ur overcorwding the place. i would not worry at all. just move ur in law in and go about ur business. pay your regular rent. u cannot pay extra money if u signed a lease. |

Rent is charged per unit, not per person, although the landlord does need to be alerted of any changes in occupancy (such as additional roommates).
He can raise the rent to keep pace with inflation or for more profit, but NOT because you've added another person, and he needs to adhere to the terms of the lease - read carefully the section about the term of the lease. Also, check with the Housing Department for your city/county, they have helpful handbooks and hotlines for landlord-tenant issues. |

I don't know what the laws are in AZ but that doesn't sound right at all. What a jerk! I would tell them you'll talk this over with your lawyer, whether you have one or not, maybe they'll back off. What does your lease say? Good luck! |

you have to read your lease.
does it say a max amount of time a guest may stay without being added to the lease? yes, he can have her added.
what is he proposing you pay for the additional person? an extra 50-100 a month? its not going to be an additional 500 or anything. she should pay anyhow.
as someone said earlier, you may pay for the water, but you dont pay for the pipes.
plus, its an extra liability exposure, her, her friends visiting.
im sure he may charge you, but its not going to be exorbitant. |
