Do I have to be on the lease if I want to live w/bf or can't I just be a tenant under him?

Question

I've lived with my bf for about 3yrs now and never had a prblm. until recently we complained about the noise from new tenants, I am now being asked to fill out an app,credit check and other docs that were already filled out prior to moving in. I asked them why and all they said was it's missing frm the archives??? hm...can they evict me if my credit is not good? Iive in the state of Ca pls help!!!

Answer 1

Here's the reason that they want the paperwork - if they have a problem with you they want to have legal standing to evict you and not to have to go through him or the process of an unauthorized tenant. If he leaves you in the apartment, they want to be able to sue you for his back rent. We actually just went through this where a tenant broke up with his girlfriend who was the leaseholder. All of our communication to him - once she left - had to go through her and it was a headache for everyone.

Answer 2

don't worry every this will be cool

Answer 3

as long as your bf has that there will be 2 adult living in the apartment, they dont need your info. i have never had to give mine when i lived with my boyf.

Answer 4

They aren't going to evict you, but they need this for their insurance.

You can only lease under your BF if they allow it, but this is not a good idea, because he has to declare your rent as his income.

Answer 5

dont stress princess. You can go under him as his tenant. its all good.  

Answer 6

Hahahahaha Jessie K wins this round.

Answer 7

Protect yourself by filling out the papers.  Otherwise you are a guest and they might make you move since a guest can only stay for  a week or 2.

Answer 8

Everyone living in an apartment unless they are under the age of 18, must be listed on the lease.

Answer 9

usually all adults have to sign the lease

Answer 10

Yes - All adults MUST be on the lease.  just because they were ignoring the violation before does not make it right.

Answer 11

Ah, don't worry- if you live with him, you'll be under him.
