Can 2 people occupy a studio apartment? Can the landlord terminate the lease if it s stated that only 1 person can live there?

Answer 1

The lease says one person. Of course the landlord can terminate if two people live there. The terms of the lease have been broken.

Answer 2

I have done it for a summer and the landlord was okay with it. I never saw the lease.

Answer 3

Free advise, that will never work because it's too small for 2 people. Those 2 people will end up enemies.

Answer 4

No. You can and will be evicted.

Answer 5

If the lease is with one person, and another moves in, this would generally violate the lease (which is with the specific person only)

Answer 6

Two people can occupy any sized apartment unless the lease or the law says otherwise. Sorry, but you have to get rid of your roommate.

Answer 7

Hello

You said "the lease if it stated that only 1 person can live there" so that pretty much tell us that you know 2 people can not occupy the apartment

Answer 8

If lease stipulate only one can, then landlord can evict you for breaking the lease.

Answer 9

Sure 2 people can live there but it'll be real tight. The landlord could terminate the lease for this but might just let it go if nobody complains.

Answer 10

Of course. Violating the lease can cause you to be evicted from the premises.
