Rental question

[Jefftowz]

We own a home in Boise ID, my daughter and 4 friends live in, 3 of the girls have boyfriends over 4-5 nights a week.

Can I limit overnight guests?

Charge a small maintenance fee, you know like for pets.

I don’t want them there. I thought about a fee.

After looking around on line

You need to look at the lease and see what it says about guests

When I had my rental, There were both parents and the 2 kids on the lease and I had a limit of like 4 nights per month before we would have to renegotiate the lease and raise the rent while adding the extra person to the lease, if I'd allow it at all. It was years ago so I don't remember the details, but there was a section that prevented what you're going through. Review your lease agreement.

Of course you can. It’s your house. Put it in the lease. I would make it no overnight guests because how are you going to enforce it

We had an issue with one of our rentals years ago. Military guys rented and there were way more there than on the lease. Our property manager just up the rent to include each of them that lived there, If you don’t have language in the lease now be sure that you do next time it is renewed,. Not sure if you can change in the middle of the term but that is why we have a property manager. Now I believe that we need to know everyone that will live there and they will get background and credit checks on each as well. Best of luck. If you can’t change maybe a few of us RDP members could go up and stay to make the point.

do you have a written lease with your daughter?

They are college kids. Let them be college kids. Part of being a college kid is the freedom to sleep where you want. If it is a problem for your daughter, she needs different roommates or to live by herself. We had a house with 6 guys for 2 years in college, and as a a property owning adult, no way in hell would i want to own any kind of rental associated with college kids. We never destroyed anything, but we certainly did things on the property that would have pissed off the landlord.

You might find this familiar. But not sure what ease is?

I've been through this with my oldest daughter. Your daughter needs to talk to the roommates and set some ground rules. She needs to let them know it's her house and she not comfortable with the boyfriends spending the night all of the time. There's really no other way to fix the issue without causing a shit storm for both you and your daughter.

PS: After 4 years of having roommates, my daughter decided to lease her own place next year by herself.

Touché

Pretty sure you’re going to have to amend your lease on the next renewal to enforce anything.

Then you’re headed into the gray waters of selecting the amount of days per month they can have guests stay over night. 5, 10, 20 etc. Someone has to record these stays in order to show a violation .

Or you can say zero overnight guests but it’s discrimination if the rules are bent for some people and not others. Boyfriend, friend or family member are all guests since they’re not on the lease and have other homes.

Maybe there’s a more amicable way to keep the boyfriends out of the house 24/7?

Is she on title? If yes, then she can ask them to leave at any time for any reason or none at all. That's how california is, I would imagine same/similar there.
You could quit claim her onto title if necessary quite quickly/easily.
Pushing this new rule may make for stressful living for awhile and could cause vacancies. At least then you could establish new rules & expectations with new tenants.
Good luck in this unpleasant situation.

It all depends on what the lease says. Tenants have rights once they sign and that includes the right to have guests as long as it doesn’t violate lease terms.

Just boot everybody, rent your daughter a nice little 1br and find a family to rent your home. You'll probably be $ ahead with this option.

Good luck with this.

 

[boatnam2]

If it was me, I would tell my daughter to handle it or you're going to raise the rent for the girls who have guests every night as there basically staying there. My guess is you probably already tried that with daughter.

 

[oldman]

Is you daughter onboard, or is she ok with her friends boyfriends being there?

Your post is not clear, and if she's not willing it could be a problem with enforcement.

You are the owner? Can you limit overnight guests? Are you serious?

 

[Brokeboatin221]

If they’re living there then you have a problem otherwise I’d find other things to put my spare time towards. If they’re living there increase rent

 

[gqchris]

Sounds like a Sorrority House, brother. I hope this is NOT what I have to look forward to! My head would explode.

 

[2Driver]

How would you even police it unless your daughter is willing to be the enforcer and that would make her real popular.

I think I’m going to lower the rent for each girl $50 and split the utilities 5 ways, I imagine they will then maybe have more respect for leaving lights and heaters on all day. There’s no way to police the overnight guests so I’ll just go with it. I hate be a landlord. lol.

I think most people just assume the issue is between your daughter and the roommates.

But this is a good solution, if you were paying for the utilities and you were only estimating utilities for a certain amount of people in the house, you do need to have a surcharge

A few more months and the school year is over, maybe TIME swap out roommates !

And
adjust your lease terms
