Asking for my kids names, ages on rental contract?

[Anonymous]

Since WHEN is it ok for a rental contract to ask for the names, ages of every person over the age of 18 living at a rental unit ????

One of our children is 18 and husband says this is a breach of privacy.

Real estate lawyers- is this legal??

What exactly do you think they’re going to do with this information?

Of course it’s legal. Only people on the lease have permission from the landlord to live there.

How would putting the names of adults living in a rental on the contract be a privacy breach?

It's ALWAYS been okay.

All adults living in a property go on the lease

Yes, it's legal. In fact there are laws in most communities regarding how many unrelated persons over a certain age (usually 18) can live in one unit. On the application we require the names, ages, and relationship status of everyone who will live in the unit, and if we rent it to them everyone 18 and over is going on the lease and responsible for the rent.

What? They're adults, of course it's legal.

Everyone over 18 gets credit check also.

It's required to ask the name and age of all the residents of the unit. A lot of rentals credit- or background-check those who are 18 or older.

Not a lawyer but everyone UNDER 18 must be listed and everyone OVER 18 must do separate application for rental.

That is false. There are lease holders and there are occupants. The latter is not the former.

True but a landlord does not have to rent to someone who intends to have a non lessee occupant living in the property. And what landlord in their right mind would allow this? Even squatters can’t just be thrown out.

+1. We just rented a temporary place while our house is under construction and we had to put minor kids’ names and ages on the application. They didn’t verify it or anything.

Yes, it’s legal. Calm down, Mabel.
