Highlights
Question: My tenant told me they want to open a day care in their rental unit. However, my lease prohibits business use of the property. Can I say no?
Question: I have a very small two-bedroom apartment for rent. Does the two-tenants-per-bedroom-plus-one standard apply to this unit? Five people seems like too many.
Question: I read that tenants who have lived on a property for more than a year must receive 60 days’ notice of a rent increase. Is this true? Can I give a 30-day notice, or must I give 60 days’ notice to raise the rent 8%?
