Q: Could I please get a better explanation of what this means. It is written in the lease for our home. Look at more info
Subject to the provisions of this Lease, apart from the Tenant and the Tenant's immediate family members, no other persons will live in the Property without the prior written permission of the Landlord.
The tenants son has been staying the home and he is not on the lease.
A:
the idea of most rental agreements is for the landlord to know the number of tenants living in a home or apartment ect. Usually, the landlord charges extra depending upon the number of persons residing in the home as extra people means extra wear and tear on the building.
The signed lease should be specific about the number of tenants living in the property at the beginning, if it is not, there could be a problem with trying to restrict the number of persons living in the property now. From your explanation above, this is the best response that I can give. I suggest that you should speak to a landlord tenant attorney in your area to get a specific opinion on the lease.
