What is the name of your state?Ca
I manage a house in which the individual rooms are rented to separate tenants. My sister-in-law and her son occupy 2 of 4. I have an existing tenant renting a room who has always payed his rent on time but has never had a written lease. I just finished dealing with a bad tenant who also didn't have a lease so now it's time for everyone to sign one. When presented with the lease, he had a problem with my wording on how the garage was to be divided. He claims that when he moved in 8 months ago that he was promised 1/2 of the garage space. The new lease spells out that he has only 1/3rd. He currently occupied 1/2 of the garage space with no complaints from the other tenants, so there is no problem as I see it. I still want him to sign the lease stating he has the right to only 1/3rd just in case there is an issue down the line.
Do I have to right to evict him (following proper procedure of course) if he refuses to sign the lease?
