What is the name of your state? california
no real names here.
i am currently in a bind. here is the issue.
i am subleasing an apartment from a person, whom here on will be known as Bob. I signed a contract with him earlier that says the following. heres the couple important parts.
This agreement shall be from july 1st to sept. 15th. meaning thats the days i get to rent the place out.
the monthly rental for the said property shall be $720, due and payable on the 1st day of each month, and shall be paid to "bob's father."
there are more or less no other significant agreements.
Here is the thing, the rent is suppose to be 900/month, but he usually pays 1300 a month. But he told me late july/early augest, another person (sandy) is going to move in, and he will charge me 600 a month from there on. So basically, 1800 for the 2.5 month. Thats why it says 720 a month. But i decided to share the place with 2 other people so i dont have to pay as much, without telling him. Now that sandy came to check the place out, and decide to move in this weekend. So she told bob about how there are 2 other roommates, now he is tripping out. He says either one of them move out, or i pay more. Can he do that?
Also, he threatens to call the landlord on me to kick 1 roommate out, but can he legally do that? I know for a fact that the landlord doesnt know that i have 2 other roommates, but i am not sure if she knows if i live here. (the contract is signed by me and bob).
so my question is, can he legally kick us out or raise prices?
if you have any question regarding the case, please ask, i will be checking the forums periodically every few hours.. and he needs an answer by saturday.. its very urgent and im a student with no extra money.. and bob and sandy are totally anal. Thanks alot
