I used Legal Zoom to create the lease agreement for all tenants; essentially everything is the same except the lease length, price, and if they should pay for the utility fee. Following are quotes from the original agreement.
"Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, and in consideration of the payments provided in this Lease, the Landlord leases to the Tenant for residential purposes only, The guest bedroom with a ceiling fan., the Premises, a house with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including the furnishings described in section I (a), the appliances described in section I (b), exclusive use of the parking spaces described in section I (c), and use of the storage space described in section I (d). The Tenant has no equitable interest in the Premises."
"XII. ENTRY BY LANDLORD
The Landlord (or the Landlord’s authorized agent or representative) may enter the Premises under the following circumstances: in case of emergency, to make necessary or agreed on repairs, alterations, or improvements; to supply necessary or agreed on services; and to show the Premises to prospective or actual purchasers, tenants, workers, or contractors. The Landlord may also enter the Premises annually to inspect them for safety or maintenance problems. Except in cases of emergency, Tenant abandonment of the Premises, court order, or where it is impracticable to do so, and in the event of an extended absence as described in section XIII, the Landlord shall give the Tenant at least the minimum notice required by state law before entering and will enter the Premises only during normal business hours."
Based on this, I think i have acces to the common area without permission.
If other tenants agree to pay for the utility fee, can I simply write a new one and have them sign to override the old one.
