Landords - do u want to know

[GraceKrispy]

Im more concerned about someone spelling "you are" as u r.

I had trouble getting past your "Im"

But in reality, I don't get the "u r" thing on message boards, when you type out every other word just fine!

A LL posted on another forum that his tenant on one side of his duplex called him about many people going in and out of the other unit. Turns out the tenants had his home listed on AirBNB and had it booked through November. This opens the owner up to huge amounts of liability.

For this reason alone, I would want to know.

YES! I would want to know. I had a rental house where the tenants subletted each bedroom to a family - yes, a bedroom per family. Her brother, wife and two kids lived in the smallest of the bedrooms. The house was trashed - in part, because of the way they lived but also because of the number of people living there. The kitchen cabinets and frig were under two years old when they moved in - the shelves and drawers in the all cabinets and the frig were cracking and buckling because of the weight and amount of food that had been stored in them.

I ended up replacing a newish water heater - again, I'm convinced that it just couldn't keep up with the demand of that many people.

When we got the property back, and spend many,many hours there - various neighbors drifted by an mentioned the shocking number of people living in the house. All these people had our contact information and knew that we had a property manangemnt company "looking after" the house.

Coming and going? None of the landlord's business.

My lease does not allow subletting or reassigning leases. But coming and going yes I need to know unless it like a one night stand or family visiting. I cant have new people just moving in.

My rent is decided partially on occupancy and wear and tear.

Currently I have lets say a dual income couple no kids no pets dont smoke who work outside of unit in a two bedroom. I charge them $200 a month below market.

Lets say that couple decides to rent out that extra bedroom to another couple who has a dog and smokes adn works from home.

Guess what I have at least triple wear and tear on unit for same rent and a higher liklyhood of neighbor complaints and phone calls in middle of night to fix something.

In that case I would evict or ask slightly higher than market rate to cover pain in butt.

Fridge doors, oven doors, water heaters, HVACs, doorknobs, paint jobs only last so long, if you triple occupency you triple the repairs
