can people live in a apartment that are not on the lease?

Depending on the lease, they might or might not have legal right to be there.\n\n1. Does the lease have a sublet clause/assignment provision\n2. What are the local laws regarding point 1\n\nThe people even without a lease may be afforded tenancy though, even if they are a sublet.  It is generally not a requirement to have a lease for tenancies under 1 year.\n\nTheir tenancy would be 'month to month'.  You would have the right to change their rent or serve notice to vacate usually with 30 day notice, again depending on state and local laws.\n\nIf you like them, you'll be better off defining their tenancy on a lease.  This way, should push come to shove, you have a written agreement the court can refer to.

It depends on the landlord.  Some will. Some will not. Many now have a ratio of rent to monthly income and require proof of employment.  Some will happily rent to students under these terms, others like mine, prohibit tenants from becoming full time students during a part of their lease.\n\nYou can simply call up their leasing office and ask, or contact an apartment locator and tell them your situation, they can help you find a complex that is happy to have students.

A lease is a contract and if they've breached specifics of the contract, you could very well be able to get out of the lease.  If these are just "rules" that are posted (and not specifically part of the lease contract), then you probably would have to wait for the lease to expire.  \n\nSince you say "the lease clearly states that all residents....", the company that is renting the apartment (probably for illegal aliens) seems to be breaking their lease agreement, at the risk of your safety.  You may be able get that company's lease terminated or be allowed out of yours.  \n\nIf you can prove a pattern of the landlord not enforcing provisions of other leases, a judge would probably find in your favor.\n\nMy recommendation would be to contact the local HUD office or a real estate attorney and show them the lease.

You will need to contact the apartment Manager and ask to cosign the lease. But keep in mind that if your friend is unable to pay the rent you will then be responsible for it.

Unfortunately, I think it is legal; my apartment complex does the same. I think it has something to do with the property owner's business choices superceding your choices, since ultimately you can choose not to live there, you know?\n\nI think it's retarded and I hate it too.

address the people/company you are renting from. i am sure they could work something suitable out for you with your being able to move. they are reasonable people or should be. things happen beyond our control sometimes and i know they know that too. next time you get room mates have them added onto the lease with your leaser. that way you are not totally responsible for everything.

if you are renter, and not a owner there is nothing you can do, other than move. there are some non-smoking apartments, they are just a little harder to find.

Yes.  They often get a commission from the people who own apartments.  Look in the phone book under Rental Properties.

This is a tough situation and there is no really good solution.\n\nRemember that what someone can "legally" do is not really a practical limit on what they may actually do. Worse still, you can have all sorts of legal rights but if the only way to exercise them is to go to court then the solution may be worse than the problem.\n\nThe only thing is really to get the stuff out right now. If the apartment is in the other person's name then she's not going to get any immediate help from the legal system.\n\nEDIT: From another question that you posted I'm now unsure if this is a room mate situation or a landlord-tenant case. Please clarify. It affects the answer.

the landlord must have a key, in case they need to get in for an emergency. other wise they are not allowed in your room without you knowing about it. its in your rental agreement.

i am not sure but i think there is a department of housing  somewhere in riverside county. i would contact them as soon as possible. if your lease states that you are the sole renters of the property i not think he can. but if you aren't on a lease and are just renting month to month there could be a problem. best of luck. in the end the homeowner may just be building you another room that you get to use instead.

Is this an appliance that you provided them?  If so you do have to pay to fix it, but since they're breaking the contract why don't you try to evict them if you have proof that there are more people living there than are on the lease.  You could also raise their rent based on the amount of people they've got living there.

eh that might be iffy if you are trying to get your own apartment. If you move out to live with a friend you can do it right now I believe. However don't quote me as legal advice please, because I'm no lawyer.

Depends on the state.  You obivously have internet.  Look up your state's landlord tenant laws.

Well, I would first say that yes he/she can, but you need to talk to your landlord and explain your situation and see if he/she is willing to work something out. Secondly you need to really review your lease and see what it says about this sort of thing.

With apartments, usually they'll insist all renters be on the lease, for legal and insurance reasons.\nWith private houses, it depends on what the landlord and main renter say; generally they will do month-by-month. \n\nUnless you're talking about staying a short time, pretending to be your friend's house guest and paying him directly. Which is not a great idea.\n\n>should I pay her her for deposit?\nNormally it's handled with the apt manager. This sounds like a dubious proposal. Anyway she may get damages or cleaning deducted from her deposit.\n\n> Is there a way to protect  myself in a new apartment if I don't like the place??\nNot really, but one month's notice is not a huge penalty, you could always just leave early if you disliked it that much.\nAre you concerned about noise, neighbors, the area, crime, traffic or what...? Try to do some research.
