Cont.. NOT WANTING TO ADD BF TO APT LEASE

Question

so okay if i add him to my lease and they do a credit check, can they say he cant leave here if he doesnt have good credit? im already living here?

Answer 1

Of course.   He has to be acceptable, or you have to move.     You can not just up and decide on your own who lives in property you do not own.

Answer 2

Yes, they can. A wise landlord will require a full criminal/credit check on all adult tenants. They can even say no to a new husband and still hold you to the lease.

Maybe he can provide a qualified co-signer.

Answer 3

It is totally up to the landlord.  As a landlord myself, I wouldn't have a problem if his credit was bad..but yours is good.  If you've been a good tenant, I don't see a problem...unless of course he can't pass a backround check.  Some landlord would also deny him because of the additional wear and tear/utlitity costs involved with adding someone addional to the lease.  He may require you to sign a new lease at a higher rental rate.  It's of course, your choice not to sign...but if you don't, the landlord can deny him.
