What is the name of your state? CT
I am a landlord in CT, I own a (legal)3 family house.
I used to live in the attic apartment, and kept it immaculate - when I moved (to another house on the street) I rented it to
a single women. Over time I noticed that her son (about 20 yrs old) was over alot. I finally asked her and she admitted that he was now living with her. I was upset that she would try to hide that from me. She said it had been approx 6 months that he was there. I told her the rent was based on a one person occupancy, and with her son it would go up about 25.00 a month (her old lease had expired at this point). I gave her a 30 day notice of increase, and she was fine with it. That bring us to almost a year later. Now I am having more problems - there is alot of water leaking in the apt. There is a old cast iron tub that she uses - apparently she falls asleep in there alot, and the water goes to the second floor apartment. My husband has had to tear the ceiling apart on the second floor twice to fix the mess. We told her that she had to be more careful. Well, it continues - not only that, but she leaves the water on continuously. Our normal water bill quarterly is 200-300 - the all-time high in 6 years has been 380.00. This quarter it was 715.00. None of the other tenants have had problems, and we have gone over every square inch of the house - nothing. Her current lease has expired - and we have a future tenant lined up for her place. I would like to give her a 30 days to vacate - but not sure how it works, and what we would have to do. When my husband went over there the other day to check on the water - her power was turned off - and the place was a pigsty. I just feel like she should get out - it makes me feel sick, because I know from living there what a nice place it was - and what she has turned it into.
Even though the lease is not current some things that were included that I feel that she violated are
- keep the dwelling clean, neat and safe
- keep the dwelling's plumbing fixtures clean, and to use them for which they have been desined
- avoid disturbing you neighbors enjoyment of their dwellings(she often has over her grandkids late at night - the constant running around wakes up all the others in the house)
There is also a clause inthe lease that states
- you have no right to remain in the dwelling after this lease ends
- holding over by you does not renew this lease without our written consent
- If you remain in the dwelling with our written consent past the term of this lease, you shall hold the dwelling under the same terms as in this lease
