If my boyfriend is already renting an apartment and I move in, do I have to fill out an application?

my husband and i live an apartment complex they tell us if someone stays more then 2 weeks we have to add them to the lease it is a safety issue for the apartments ask you boyfriend to talk to the management or landlord depending on the circumstance about why or look at you boyfriends rental papers he signed and see if it has any thing about new tenets in his paper work.

Yes, because if the landlord wants to be a jerk and you get locked out of the house, he can make you wait until your bf gets home. They did that to me while my roommate was in Brazil and I was supposed to be taking care of his dog locked inside!

If he's smart enough he'll have u fill one out.... lol

[Nothing in this commentary is meant to establish nor solicit a practitioner - client relationship.] The laws of your jurisdiction will apply. If you do not have an application on file, your boyfriend of today may become your adversary tomorrow. Your belongings could be out on the street tomorrow, if he wishes to be generous. Legally, he may be under no obligation to return your personal belongings for thirty days, depending upon the laws in effect for your locale. As long as you do not have a contract, you have no rights under the law (probably). With no rights, your boyfriend could be evicted for any reason whatsoever. If he is to vacate the property, and you have no standing before the property owner, then you have no standing before a court (probably). In other words, you are on your own. More properly, you are OUT on your own. You can protect yourself. You can fill out the app. Or you can be an idiot.

read his lease. It probably says something about other adults moving in having to apply.

Yes, it is a law that every tenant living there (whether they pay rent or not) must be on the lease. That way they can find you and ruin your credit if you destroy any property etc. It's so they won't be held liable. Chances are, they will just check to make sure you don't have any previous offenses with any apartments or if you are a sex offender (you'd be surprised how many try it). Just fill it out, or they will have to go through the law to keep you off property.

Anyone who is living in one of their apartments needs to be put on the lease. And, technically, if you are living there, if something goes down and your BF doesn't pay, they are going to look to you to pay it.

He wants your name on the lease. This is only because if anything happens he is not liable for you.

Thats entirely up to his landlord..most dont care, as he will be responsible when you lose your cool and throw his xbox controllers and/or his collectibles into the drywall.
