    It's probably a violation of lease to unilaterally add more parties to it without consent of all.

    Even of if its a violation Im not sure just what logical cure one might expect or how you were damaged. I would hope you have a copy of lease as you signed it ?

    Drama over a key isn't any form of illegal discrimination.
    I wouldnt say i was damaged....just dont want her there. She causes issues. Not drama over a key..but the
    Fact that the LL is singling me out for the same stuff my roomate has done. I do have!the lease copy that me and him signed...just our signatures not anyone elses

    Which is it? Why is it that you're "not sure" if you can trust the landlord, but are also stating that the landlord is lying?

    Note, there would be a huge difference between recognizing her as an occupant of the premises and actually making her a co-tenant. If she's an occupant, then the tenants may have additional duties under the lease or may owe additional rent, but the "consent" to her being recognized as an occupant came when you allowed her to move it.

    Not a type the law would care about.
    I was reffering to my roomate about the trust issue. He claimes he didnt know about her being added. So if thats true then neither of us knew

    Also our lease states that our apt (#1) is known as premises. Says any pet must have a deposit to be on said premises. Shes had her dog in our place for months but the landlord said its ok because she paid the deposit for upstairs (apt #2) and the dogs covered for the whole building. Isnt that the LL breaking his own lease. Like the dog's deposit paid for apt 2 premises and our apt is a whole different premises . Sorry for all the questions just feel im getting bullied out of renewing lease and am frustrated

    If nobody knew that the girlfriend was added to the lease -- not the landlord and not the tenants -- then it didn't happen.

    If the landlord doesn't object to the dog, then he's not enforcing any provision of the lease that would otherwise prevent the presence of the dog.

    Your lease is almost over. I suggest that you create a plan for relocating at the end of your lease term.

    The landlord knew....hes the one that said he added her. So landlord knows but what if both tenants didn't...or if only 1 knew? What exactly does it mean if hes not enforcing any provisions of the lease? Basically if he says its allowed then it is?...even though the lease states differently? Yes we do have a plan but that doesn't mean I wont still fight.

    But she moved in while still being on lease upstairs...not my place. I don't think the LL knows this

    I think the landlord is regarding her as an occupant, not a tenant. If she is claiming to be a tenant, ask her for a copy of her signed lease agreement and we'll work from there.

    Ok thank you. Does an occupant have the same rights as a tenant? And would being added as an occupant still require both lease holders consent? If it help he said he amended her to our lease until the end of it in October. Not sure what that specifies her as

    No. An occupant is somebody who is authorized to live in the unit but is not a tenant.

    You will need to read your lease to determine what it says about occupants.

    It says you may not sublet or assign the lease without written consent from LL. Doesnt specify if anything needs tenants consent to do so

    Basically hes saying i cant renew for the same things my roomate has done. The LL said she was on our lease now because hers was up....but i had no knowledge and never saw or signed anything saying it was ok.
