What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I live in income based Section 8 housing in southern Indiana. My leasing office declined to add my fiancee to my lease due to rental problems (broken lease, back rent) during her pervious marriage. We both have pending jobs that will make it impossible to live in the current housing, but those are three months down the line. We are both currently going through debt consolidation, but that will also take months. I have been told that once her problems are cleared she could be added to lease.
Lease states that someone can visit for two weeks before having to get added to lease as an occupant. She has already reached this limit. I have three children and very little money in reserve, so can not afford to get another place if evicted. She will move all of her possessions over to a mutual friends house, but we are both concerned about the definition of legal occupancy, since my fiancee is often at my apartment as our relationship grows and she also cannot currently afford an apartment of her own.
Questions:
If she visits or watches children while I work, how many hours per day can she spend in the apartment without being considered an occupant? Or is occupancy just based on if anything is stored in the household that is her property? She also has a vehicle that is parked here.
Thanks in advance! if more clarification is needed to answer the question, just ask.
