When we moved out into the cabin to start our Homestead we left our house (owned) in town and recently rented it out.
I found out that they have moved another couple in with them. We have a contract between us and the original renters. Do I legally have the right to tell them to move the other family out? I’m only charging them $300 rent for a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house so they shouldn’t need help with rent. 🧐
I didn’t do background checks on this second couple so I don’t feel comfortable having them in the house.
Edit: they didn’t even tell me, I found out myself when I went to pickup my vacuum I loaned them.
@knockout #1 where is this located? 4 bedrooms in Miami are over $2500..a 1 bedroom starts at $1000...My lease states which most I know do as well You as a Tenant that passed the background check CAN NOT SubLease(meaning they can't just bring in whoever they feel to MOVE In IF Not approved on Lease and background check!
@knockout, $300? man i live in a 2 bedroom apartment and i pay $2,500
Dang ladies when I bought my house it was only 65k and we talked them down to 45k and I only paid $230 a month on payments 🤭 but I live in small town Missouri also
@tinyhumansbitch, hahaha. my fiance kept complaining, because he's from SD and paid like $450 for a two bedroom apartment in a building with underground heated parking and an elevator. I just kept saying "Welcome to NJ!"
@tinyhumansbitch pays cheap too so it still ends up being a similar struggle.
Ugh just saying, best of luck momma♡ renters can be the worse 😔
@tinyhumansbitch, pssh, our two bedroom 1 bath apartment was $1750 a month. I'd have LOVED to pay $850. That's why we bought...3 bedrooms was $2300+. Like, nope.
@knockout, tell them they can stay so long as you do a background check on the new family, and then triple the rent, at minimum. If they had asked beforehand, maybe just a double of the rent, but to do it sneakily, hoping you wouldn't notice, that's just rude.
I had like 9 people interested in moving in but I chose this family because they had been married 5yrs, have a 12yr old, have held their jobs for 3+ years. And now this happens 🙄🙄
@knockout put your foot down girl theres money to be made. They tryna walk all over you thats a mini mansion smh
@tinyhumansbitch i feel you. I'm looking for a 3 bedroom single family home or a 2 bedroom with 2 living rooms or a basement but nothing girl. Everything is 1600+
@knockout damn girl definitely $800 now since you added toddlers. Never know what mischief they'll get into lol
Our lease says they have the right to evict if someone moves in without being approved by the apartment complex. So I'm not exactly sure how it'd work in your case if it wasn't in the lease. I would check into local laws. But dang, that's some cheap rent!! I definitely would raise that. I live in Indiana where rent isn't ridiculously high, but something that big would go for over $900-$1,000 a month.
@tiff.momma.love we can throw all 5 girls in one room with double bunks and a trundle.
@jaygirls, the original family is a married couple and their son. They moved in a dating couple and 2 toddlers and a 5yr old. That’s 8 people 🤭
@jaygirls im moving in ( double the rent) 😂😂
@tinyhumansbitch right lmfaooo thats crazy
@knockout yea they living the life more heads in that house means more property damage and maybe drama thats a dream come true with that little bit of rent yea i honestly feel tou need to check that out you only renting to one family if they want tqo familys there then another agreement needs to be made
@tiff.momma.love, it’s a huge house. The yard is on 2 lots. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a laundry room, kitchen, dining room, indoor gym, a home office, living room, and a fenced in back patio.
Each rules are different for each state. So you can check on . What's your right as a landlord? And it should pull right up.
@tiff.momma.love, that’s kinda what I’m thinking. Like $300 was for ONE family. I was only charging enough to cover my property tax and payments at the end of the year, I didn’t want the pipes to freeze in the winter. Houses just stay better when lived in. But if they wanna have another family then I need to raise the rent


I don’t think we would have been able to move if I didn’t have my stay at home job, we would still be in a neighborhood with our house getting broken into. I’m so thankful and blessed to have found a legit home job so my kids don’t have to go to day care, counting my blessings daily
Opinions (I know you love to give them, so don't be shy)
I have mentioned previously that we are moving the end of this month. Our lease is up and cannot be extended. We had put a security deposit on a house to rent for a year while rebuilding our savings to purchase a house next year, but found out yesterday that the landlord has "changed his mind" and rented the house to someone else. So now, 10 days before the end of the month, we have nowhere to live.
I find it pretty hilarious how people who have shown their true colors on social media snake away, delete the posts that outed them and come back on social media like nothing happened. Why do that, you outed yourself, so stay out. We still see you boo boo...
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
cats and babies
My so and I haven't been able to have cats for years. Last year we moved into our own house. So says we can have a cat now.
@knockout your extremely with how you word? ed and handle it in my opinion. If they decide there not staying id do random drive bys and checks to make sure. If they moved them in and never said anything their liable to keep them there and just say they left 🙄
