Tenant is asking to put minor on lease

Alex Kreeger
Posted

Tenant asked to put child on lease because the school district requires it for proof of residency. This to me is an interesting request. Has anyone heard of this? What was your resolution?

@Alex Kreeger

My lease identifies the tenants who are jointly liable for paying the rent (the adults) 

The lease goes on to identify the minor children that will also be occupying the home.

"These premises will be occupied by the undersigned tenants and the following minor children" Then the children are listed by name

I think this should suffice.  

The lease spells out who is liable for the rent and the minor occupants their children that will be living in the house.

I hope this helps
