Q: I want to register my friend and his wife as my co-renters in an one bedroom apartment I live in. Florida
The owner of the apartment is okay. But association says that I cannot sublease the apartment.
Although I told them that they will go through the whole process of background check.
By the rules of the building I am allowed to have up to 3 residents in a one bedroom apartment.
I do this because I had to stop my business and now I will be traveling a lot in between states due to another business. And I to be able to pay my rent I decided to share my apartment.
A: I suppose see if your landlord will agree to release you from the original lease and sign a new lease with all of you on it, or see if the current lease can be amended. Regardless, you are asking for trouble with the HOA by doing anything to add them onto the lease. I suggest you take a copy of your current lease and the hoa docs to a real estate attorney for review and advice.
