[quote=Anonymous][quote=sarah1513]My husband and I are expecting twins due in June, and we rent our 2 bedroom rowhouse on the Hill. We're planning to tell our landlord shortly about our news 1) because it seems weird for him not to know at some point and 2) frankly, we're hoping this will help ward off a rent increase which has typically come this time of year. Our landlord is kind of prickly and unpredictable though.

We are long past the original 1 year paper lease (we started renting in August 2015) so have been month to month per DC law since then. Nevertheless I double checked what it said on our boilerplate lease--our landlord runs the property himself but used a management company to show the property and execute the lease agreement because he lives out of town--and it says occupancy for two persons including children.

DC tenant occupancy law allows for up to 5 people in a 2 bedroom apartment (2 x number of bedrooms + 1) so we're good on that side. Has anyone had the experience of updating your landlord on the birth of children and how did it go?

Thanks![/quote]

Why would you tell him?  It’s none of his business and there’s no way he’s going to give you a break on rent [/quote]
