Hello,

thanks for all your great advice, newsletters, and articles. You provide a lot of really helpful information!

Here's my question (and background info): we recently rented our house to a family of 4 (2 parents, 2 minor kids).  The wife (we'll call her Liz) asked if her adult sister-in-law could move in w/ her 2 minor kids.  We insisted to do a background check on the sister-in-law (we'll call her Jane), and that *if we accept her,* all 3 adults (Liz, her husband, and Jane) would become Co-Tenants under a new Lease. Liz says she wants to help her out, as family, until Jane gets back on her feet; she thinks this might be about 3 months or so. We are okay with this.  My question is–once we accept Jane as a Co-Tenant, are we stuck with her as a Tenant until she decides to move out (barring any legal action we can take to evict her)?  If so, is there a legal way to accept Jane as a Tenant on a temporary or conditional basis?  Also, if/when Jane moves out, can we revert back to our original Lease with Liz and her husband w/o having to redo the original Lease again? (Like if we write an adendum to the new Lease, just b/w the Landlords, Liz and her husband and signed, stating the above?)

Thank you!  Please let me know ASAP, as we will meet with Jane next week.

Heidi, thanks for your question.  Sounds like you have quite the situation.

 

If you intend to start anew with the lease with all 3 adult occupants as co-tenants, It might be good to think of some additional restrictive comments in the lease prior to the lease being signed.

 

These comments should address your concerns, IE. that any co-tenant may be evicted separately if they cannot abide by the rules of the lease, that if there are problems with any tenant, they must agree to abide by the lease or face eviction etc….

 

The lease is customizable and is up to you. As long as the restrictions listed in the lease are not prohibited by local or state law, you should be able to address your concerns.

 

Good luck with the tenants.
