I have a friend/family member who wants to stay for an extended period. Do I need to gain permission first?

Any person not listed as a resident on the lease who stays for longer than 14 consecutive days or who is regularly staying at the property overnight (weekends, holidays, when in town every month, etc) must be authorized ahead of time or as soon as you are aware of the need. Any person 18 or older will need to have a background check conducted at your/their expense and approved by the landlord if they are to become a permanent resident. We encourage you to consider adding to a lease and screening fiancés, boyfriends and girlfriends, or any other significant other who may stay with you regularly.
