Since signing the lease the landlord has starting harressing us because they claim to many people are living in the house. We use the house Monday through Thursday nights and travel home on weekends. Two of us are on the lease. I stay all 4 nights and my boss 2 nights a week. About 6 times per month we have an additional employee stay the night. In addition members of my family have been using the house on weekends (the house is in Napa, CA nice tourist destination). The landlord is claiming they can’t use the house in this way. My feeling is the house is leased to us and we have the right to have people visit us. Is there a way for the landlord to place a number of maximum tenants or guest for his property? Any opinions? | |||

True true true! Your landlord has every right to stop this type of activity. It’s one thing to have guest stay with you, but to let people use it as a vacation spot, yeah; that doesn’t work. |

yOU HAVE A RIGHT TO “REASONABLE ENJOYMENT” OF A RENTED PROPERTY ACCORDING TO FEDERAL LAW, BUT EVERY STATE DEFINES THIS DIFFERENTLY. cHECK WITY YOU LOCAL LEGEL AID OFFICE EVEN IF YOU HAVE AN ATTORNRY. sOMETIMES THESE OFIICES HAVE A STAFF MEMBER THAT SPECIALIZES IN LOCAL RENTAL LAWS. |

Read your agreement carefully. I’m sure there is something in there about your guest. But my question to you is whether you are on the agreement or not. If your boss is the only one on the agreement, then you have not right to give anyone permission to stay. Be careful, your landlord could lawfully evict you from the property. |

If you were to let a reasonal amount of people stay while you were there, that would be ok. But it sounds like you’re running it as though its a time share. You put the landlord in a weird spot when you allow people to stay when you’re not around. Even if they are your family, how can you ensure they are obeying the house rules set forth in the agreement. Technically, you have probably breached the contract. |
