FAQ
Yes, you can have two apartment leases in your name. Many people rent multiple apartments for various reasons, such as work requirements or personal obligations. As long as you can manage the financial responsibilities and comply with any applicable laws, holding two leases is perfectly legal.
A tenant is an individual who has signed a lease agreement and is legally responsible for rent and property maintenance. On the other hand, an occupant lives in the property without being part of the lease agreement and does not have the same financial obligations or legal rights as a tenant.
You can still give them written notice to quit the premises (30 days) and if they still refuse to leave, file in the common pleas court in the county where your property is residing for an unlawful detainer. Once you prevail then you can call the sheriff and have the sheriff evict them for you.
The only time someone can live with you without being on the lease is if you are on the lease. If you are the leaseholder, you can invite people to live with you whether or not they want to be the leasee. If you aren't the leaseholder, you can only have guests stay with you if they don't want to be on the lease.
For guests staying for an extended period (such as several weeks), the tenant should inform the landlord of the situation. If a landlord tries to evict a tenant for having occupants in a rental unit, tenants can seek dispute resolution.
