He makes a lot more than me so obviously I don't meet the financial standards for the unit we will be getting. I will be listed as "occupant" on the contract. What does this mean?
I am in the state of PA.
Currently googling answers but would love if someone had a quick reply for me.
Thanks!
The lease holder is the one they will go after if rent isn't paid. They stand more chance to recoup their money from the higher earner. So you are listed as living there, but without any legal obligations to the landlord.
Also an occupant on the lease is still required to obey all the rules of the lease even though you may not be financially and legally liable for the lease terms. You can't play dumb about what is and isn;t permitted because your listed by name on the lease.
question i want to evict an "occupant" from my apartment. She is not on the lease, I'am. She has never paid rent to me but refuses to leave. My apartment says I can't evict her. Is this correct?

What do you mean when you say, "My apartment says I can't evict her"? Apartments don't have a voice, at least to the best of my knowledge and unless technology has gone totally haywire ...
I'm guessing this is one of these "boyfriend lets GF move in and everything is fine until it all goes wrong and then BF wants GF to move out and she goes off and says something along the lines of 'you can't kick me out 'cause I live here and I've contributed" etc and blah blah blah.
If she hasn't paid rent she doesn't have a legal leg to stand on but I'm guessing that your situation is rather more complicated than you've divulged. Good luck!
If they can prove primary residence or having been there for at least 30 days (most states) then they are entitled to due process. You can evict but you have to do so through a court. Your landlord would have nothing to do with it.

If he is the one listed as tenant and she is co-occupant, why isn't he allowed to call the cops and make her leave. Isn't he the one legally responsible for the place and not her?
