Tenant registered LLC under my rental property address no notice
BP Fam,
Would like to hear the communities thought in my current situation. Currently house hacking and we have a in-law suite. Renting it out and occupied. The tenants decided to register their LLC under my home address and did not notify me. I received a letter in the mail that said xxx enterprise LLC and my home address, so i opened it. The letter was an address verification from the state of California. How do i approach my tenant with my concern? Thank you team in advance for your time and feedback.

Hi @Juan Ayala, I'm a lawyer here in CA. First, is it safe to assume that you do not want them registering their business using the address of the home where they live? Why not? There could be a lot of good answers to this question. For example, like @Roy N. suggested, it could be a violation of law, or their lease. But, it could also be no big deal if they are running a consulting business (like graphic design) where they sit in a chair inside and do not disturb anyone.
In California, the state does not allow LLC's to use P.O. Boxes or other rentals as addresses. They can however use an Agent for Service of Process. I think these guys charge $50-100/year.
One good thing about them using your rental address is that they are certainly planning to stay for the long run.
