In Reply to: can my roomate add her boyfriend to lease and/or have him move in without my permission? posted by grace on February 16, 2000 at 17:44:54:
: My roomate and I are both signers on the lease for our rent-stabilized 2 bdrm. apt. in Chelsea.
: I want to know if:
Answers assume that in addition to signing the lease, you both are actually listed as tenants on it:
: a) she can add her boyfriend to the lease without my permission
no.
: b) she can have him move in without my permission
maybe.
: c) if she leaves the apt. can I just renew the lease or will we have to sign a whole new lease thereby increasing the rent by a whole lot?
should be renewal lease, not vacancy lease.
: Basically what are my rights as one of the signers of the lease concerning another person moving in?

it is between you and your co-tenant.
