How many nights is it legal to stay over a renters abode?

Because it's likely in the lease. Rent might be different if more people were living there. I know that if I'm to have a guest for more than 2 weeks I need to inform my landlord and get their permission.

3 sets of tenants, 3 sets of problems. Renting a house and renting rooms may be different from a legal point of view, check it out. For sure if you rent a house out furnished, everything in the house must conform to health and safety standards, particularly with respect to fire. You might find it expensive to refurnish your house in order to conform to these standards.\nIn my experience the rental income from an unfurnished house is not much less than a furnished one. With the added bonus that you do not have to worry about wear and tear, because it's a fact that people will not look after your things the way you do. \nOn the other hand, you can probably get more by renting out to 3 people, but that's a question whether you are will to risk the fire hazards mentioned earlier.

I was stuck in a similar situation once.  Legally, it really depends on the state.  My situation was in California and I got the shaft in the end.  Most rentals won't let you sublet/sublease (you find someone else to take it over while you are still on the lease and you act as middle-man) and there is usually a clause in your agreement that shows the prohibition of sublet/sublease.\n\nBasically, check with the landlord.  He/she might be understanding, but realize that they don't have to be.  There may be a clause that allows you to exit out for a large fee (usually equivelant of one to two months rent).  If you can't sublease, the landlord isn't willing to work with you, and there isn't an early out clause, you are legally bound to the lease until its end.  That's why it's a contract that you've legally signed.\n\nDon't mean to sound harsh.  I'm sympathetic to your situation.  However, there are legalities involved and the landlord should not be punished for problems that aren't theirs.

I WORK AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX IN DELAWARE. IF SOMEONE IS ON A LEASE AND ARE RENTING THE LAW IN DE IS SIXTY (60) DAYS NOTICE. BUT IF HE IS JUST LIVING WITH YOU AND IS NOT ON THE LEASE, I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO GIVE HIM NOTICE. YOU CAN TELL HIM CAUSE OF HIS ACTION YOU DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE LIVING WITH HIM ANYMORE. YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK AND SEE IF YOUR STATE HAS A LANDLORD TENANT CODE BOOK AND CHECK AND SEE WHAT IT SAYS.

It depends upon how miserable and uncomfortable living in your residence was during those ten days.  Were you able to sleep at night?  Did you avoid your place because of the air conditioning?\n\nIf it was too bad...you could have moved into a hotel and then billed the owners.\n\nSo, it is up to you.  I would ask for ten days rent, and any additional time that you felt that you were inconvenienced.

It depends on what the laws are in your state.  \n\nIn Oregon it is 30 days (with or without a lease) - except in a few specific circumstances (paying your rent weekly, being red tagged, etc)

Hire an eviction service.  It can be tricky to boost someone, even if it is just a friend of your roommates who will not leave after visiting for three weeks.

check with your local state who determines tenant rights. there are federall guidelines that most states follow. Good Luck

What you put in the letter will depend upon the laws of the city and/or state where you live.\n\nDo your tenants have a lease?  If so, you can write advising them that the lease will not be renewed.  \n\nIf your tenants do not have a lease, then you write advising them that the premises will no longer be available after a set date -  30 or 60 days.\n\nIf your tenants are in violation of the lease, then you need to write a letter citing the violations and then you need to begin eviction proceedings. In most states this process can take between two and six months.

I study landlord tenant law's each state as it's own law's on eviction's the only state's where tenant's do not have any law's for a tenant is Arkansas and Alabama so what you have to do is call your local court house in the small claim's dept. They will give you the rule's in which your state's law's goes by if you dont follow these state law you will be in volation and could cost you alot of money and give them extended time to stay in your rental home. Good Luck and Good Day.

SINCE HE HAS BEEN THERE OVER 30 DAYS THE LAW SAYS THAT HE HAS LEGAL RIGHTS TO BE THERE NOW YOU CAN DO IT THE QUICK WAY & GET A RESTRAINING ORDER, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE REASONS AS TO WHY? YOU CANT SAY THAT HE ISNT ON THE LEASE,HE DONT PAY RENT, ETC........OR YOU CAN GET AN EVICTION NOTICE TO GET HIM OUT THE QUICK WAY IS THE RESRTAINING ORDER.........GL

That depends on state and county. You need a lawyer. Next time don't rent without having a lawyer draft you a lease agreement and getting the tenant to sign it.

in some cases you may be committing fraud if you claim a house is a primary residence and then immediately rent it out. Laws very by state but you will usually have to occupy the home for between 6months-2 years for it to be considered a primary residence.

Check your county, for much of California the time frame is 21 days.  If it is over that, you can sue for treble damages (3 times the amount due).  Did you all move out at the same time?  The rules might be different if some of you are staying and some going, to your landlord the unit would then still be occupied.\n\nA good book for your would be the Nolo Press series on Landlord and Tenant laws, check any bookstore reference section.  Nolo Press writes legal guides and the company is based in California.

Proper Notice to Leave\nWhen a tenant wants to move out of a rental unit, it is important that the proper kind of notice be given to the landlord. The following discusses how to end the two most common types of rental agreements. However, it is important that tenants check their own rental agreements to determine what kind of notice must be given before they move out.\n\nLeases. If the tenant moves out at the expiration of a lease, in most cases it is not necessary to give the landlord a written notice. However, the lease should be consulted to be sure a formal notice is not required.\n\nIf a tenant stays beyond the expiration of the lease, and the landlord accepts the next month's rent, the tenant then is assumed to be renting under a month-to-month agreement.\n\nA tenant who leaves before a lease expires is responsible for paying the rent for the rest of the lease. However, the landlord must make an effort to re-rent the unit at a reasonable price. If this is not done, the tenant may not be liable for rent beyond a reasonable period of time.\n\nMonth-to-Month Rental Agreements. When a tenant wants to end a month-to-month rental agreement, written notice must be given to the landlord. The notice must be received at least 20 days before the end of the rental period (the day before rent is due). The day on which the notice is delivered does not count. A landlord cannot require a tenant to give more than 20 days notice when moving out.\n\nWhat if a tenant moves out without giving proper notice? The law says the tenant is liable for rent for the lesser of: 30 days from the day the next rent is due, or 30 days from the day the landlord learns the tenant has moved out. However, the landlord has a duty to try and find a new renter. If the dwelling is rented before the end of the 30 days, the former tenant must pay only until the new tenant begins paying rent.\n\nWhen a landlord wants a month-to-month renter to move out, a 20-day notice is required.

Absolutely you can leave.  In fact, you have a legal precedent for leaving.....your safety.  If a person feels unsafe in an apartment then by law they must have the opportunity to leave said premises.  Look in the government/help pages for your city and find Landlord/Tenant and call them.   Just try and give them 30 days notice and site unsafe environment for your reasoning....that you've been harrassed and even followed and found people hanging around your door.  Are there camera's in your hallway, outside of the building?  Are there security systems...if there are not these are all things you can use against them.  And by the way, NO, your credit won't be damaged a wit because if you put forth a legal precedent they won't go after you because they  know you're smart enough to sue them back. Besides, when people are under 28 or so they think things like this will hurt them just because a management company or landlord said so....rarely true.   Email me wi/any other questions.  Be strong, be smart... good luck.

Absolutely.  Case in point:  I evicted someone recently and, heartless as it may seem to be, it was raining on the day of the eviction, and I had the full force of the law on my side.  Please understand that I had given the defendant over 90 days, had taken him to court to prove my right to take possession of my property, and I followed due process right up to the last minute.\n\nTo be sure, there are "renters" rights that you'd be wise to read.  You can find all you need to know right on the internet.
