What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I am renting a stand-alone cottage to a single guy. The cottage is in the back of my property, fairly close to our main house -- we see all. The renter is nice (abuses the AC/heat, but that's for another day) enough, but I'm having issues and would like clarification on my rights/his rights...
His is the only name on the lease agreement and he occasionally travels a week at a time. The last time he was gone, his girlfriend stayed in the place. I don't know her, but here she is walking through my property to the cottage at all hours. This week, he and the girlfriend are gone, and now her daughter (age 19) is staying back there. I've also seen numerous other 19 year old guys/girls trotting up and down my driveway early in the morning and late at night.
Can I request/demand that he not have guests over when he's not there? I'm not at all comfortable with all this unknown traffic (isn't this considered trespassing?) through my side yard/back yard and in my cottage - I have no idea their intentions, whether they're responsible or not, or up to no good. What is my liability for having unknowns in my cottage?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
