Tenets boyfriend moved in, should utilities included rent increase?

Nothing is free in life and everybody must pay their way...

Take this as a life lesson. Live, Learn & Grow..

unless he's creating a problem for you, don't try to get rid of your tenant, but I think you could say that If XX is gonna be staying here, I'm gonna need to charge $25 or $35 more per month. Don't get greedy, but he's likely using more AC and hot water for laundry and showers and a little more wear on the carpet and furniture (if it's yours). If he IS creating problems, then you'll have to say that you intended to rent to just her, so if he's permanent, she's gonna have to find another place.

I don't think one individual is increasing utility cost by that much money. You can politiely tell your roommate that her boyfriend isn't allowed to reside their with her. U don't mind him staying the night maybe one day a week but not every night. I'm not sure what type of lease you had your roommate sign or verbal agreement, but u can't just increase someone lease in the middle of it. You can agree to let her boyfriend move as another roommate then charge him the same amount as her $325 a month to reside there. Go to Office Depot and get a lease read it and highlight parts of it. Have your roommate sign it and make sure u add no1 is allowed to move in on anyone else behalf but yours with prior approval from you. Guest aren't allowed to have company stay the night more than 7days and it will be considered breaking the terms of the lease and grounds for immediate eviction. Tenant will be given 30day notice to move out then!!! Make sure you draw up your own lease or go buy one

It's costing you more so yes. You are already giving them a great deal!

Yes, you should increase the rent.

They are taking advantage of you and you are being to nice about it. If you are ok with the bf staying (and he probably isn't gong anywhere until you force the issue) then I think you should raise the rent drastically, like double the rent and if they leave, good riddance.

Another possibility is you can simply evict them both for violating the terms of the lease (unapproved occupant).

If you don't get a bit tough they are going to continue to walk all over you.

Tell you friend you don't appreciate her moving her boyfriend in & to please have him leave. If she refuses then raise the rent a lot.

yes, should increase if he's going to stay more that a couple more days

You have a choice: Inform the tenant that she violated the lease by having an unauthorized roommate and unless he is gone by the next day, she will be evicted. OR, you can issue her a rental increase notice, due to the unauthorized bf/roommate who has been living there for three months. Up it a heft amount - at least $100.

I think you should give your friend notice to vacate.

She has shiity taste in men, no respect for you and you could find a better tenant willing to pay more.

Fair for "them"? There is no "them". He isn't supposed to be there and he's a violent loser to boot.

As far as she goes, she shouldn't have allowed an unauthorized tenant if she wanted to keep a good thing going.
