Hi.
I've got two tenants in a rental property who are both named on the rental agreement.
I've had no issue with them and the drive bys indicate the lawns are being mowed and no issues with rent, seem like good people.
Now one of them is asking if his partner can move in and that the partner is happy to be on the lease.
I'm after some advice, the place should be fine with 3 adults, although they may have to manage the hotwater, but what should I be looking out for?
Should I agree but not alter the lease, so that it is the two original tenant that are responsible (it's a fixed term lease). Should I make it subject to reference checks?
Thoughts, opinions?
Thanks.
I'm leaning towards saying yes but the two original tenants are responsible for his partner and then if they split or something there is no issue for who moves out. ie original two are responsible for the fixed term.
