Hello, I just moved into an apartment. A friend of mine filled out an application in case I needed a co-signer. I didn't. The property manager ran background checks on both of us. After I signed the lease and moved in they told me that my friend was not allowed on the premises because he has a "rap sheet". I have seen his criminal background report and his offenses include multiple traffic violations (speeding, expired tags, seat belt, texting, etc) and a DUI in 2009. Some of the traffic violations are within the past year. Other than that there are no other offenses. The apartment complex is for people over age 50 and includes renters who receive housing assistance as well as others, like me, who do not receive assistance.
Is the property manager legally able to prevent my friend from coming to visit or to spend the night every now and then? He is Not a roommate, he has his own house an hour away. He would not stay more than 2 nights maximum over a 2 week period. The property manager told me that him being here was cause for immediate eviction. Can the property manager evict me if my friend does come over?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
