Forum / Leasing Issues / Additional teneant - temporary basis

Our Tenants just moved in, and they are asking for the older adult daughter to move in on a temporary basis. I want to be understanding, but I feel this might be a bad sign. If we do let her move in "temporarily", can we charge extra for rent, do we have to do some leave addendum? Help.

RE: Additional teneant - temporary basis

The daughter will be end up be considered a tenant. So if you are going to allow it you might as well have her sign the lease and maybe a roommate addendum. I usually increase the rent $100 for an extra adult staying at a property, I explain it is for the extra wear and tear. If you pay any utilities I might raise it a little more. The plus side is they bothered to ask you instead of moving her in as a guest until you find out three months later.
