Good morning group. Here is an interesting situation. I own a brownstone and rent the top 2 floors as a single-unit 3-bedroom apartment. 2 names are on the lease and they asked if they could have one roommate. I agreed. Both primary tenants are out of town for the month and the lease expires the end of this month. The non-lease-holding roommate has decided that he can make some extra cash by subletting the tenants’ bedrooms to persons for short-term for the rest of the month. He informed me of this only after having lined up his subtenants and taken money from them. When I told him that absolutely no subtenants are allowed he informed me that they are moving in this Friday whether I like it or not.
\nSo group, how would you handle this? If subtenants show up, that is a direct violation of the lease and I could initiate eviction proceedings. Seems futile since the lease is up this month. If “mystery people” show up in my house on Friday do I call the police, the sheriff’s office. Any (legal) ideas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
