Question: My friend joined me to live in my apartment. Am I violating the lease? How will the landlord prove an extra person is living there? Is there a penalty?
Answer: Tenants may have visitors stay up to 29 days. On the 30th day, the lease is being violated. The landlord takes affidavits from neighbors who can testify that the additional person is seen coming and going during the day and evening hours. If the friend drives a car, the landlord keeps a log and take pictures, which prove show the vehicle is parked overnight on a daily basis. The penalty is eviction. If the lessee notifies the landlord before 29 days, then the rent is raised by 10%+ and the friend may be added to the lease, upon approval of credit check.
