[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will then have dual title:

Boss/Landlord.

What some people do not take into consideration is that if you let a nanny live w/you, you are under same laws that landlords must abide by.

You are responsible for providing a liveable space and are responsible for maintaining plumbing, appliances, etc.

And if things go south, you are mandated to give a 30-day notice.[/quote]

PP, please cite your source.  My experience is that even a live-in nanny can be let go immediately for cause. [/quote]

The nanny can be let go, but in reality, the living arrangement part works differently. Either the employers are actual landlords and you are doing a month to month lease with them (which is what is standard if no actual written lease is in effect stating something else) but I think the notice period is only 14 days for this not 30 as stated above (at least in my state of CA).

OR you are living there without a lease/landlord and there are different laws that would be used to "evict" you. It is EASIER to get someone out if they have a lease, if they don't then they are not considered a guest if actually living with you, but a resident of the household. Without a lease then they cannot just evict for non-payment of rent or other normal tenant disagreements, but have to take another route instead. It is much harder to fight in court, and the person can still be living in the house with you the entire time. You cannot just tell them to leave, change the locks on them and call the cops. It doesn't work that way. Most people will leave willingly when told to go, but if they don't, the people who live there have a hard fight on their hands to remove them. Since you were allowed to move in and most employers WON'T have all the legal stuff done to make themselves landlords to legally rent out a room/space to you, they cannot use those rights that landlords have when dealing with tenants.

This is the reason that most landlords have a clause stating that the only people allowed to live there (to stay and move in) HAVE to be added onto the lease. They will allow guests for up to maybe 7 days. Usually there is a time period that stipulates someone is a resident (like 23 days). Hotels have this rule, if you stay past the number of days you end up becoming a resident of the hotel, or some hotel/motels won't let you stay for any longer than that. They make you check out for one night, and then you can come back and get a room again the next night. It is to break up the amount of time that you have spent continuously at the hotel/motel. As soon as you are allowed to "move in" and stay past the specific number of days, you are legally residing in that location and can do so without a lease which protects the landlords rights. You also have no tenant rights really, but the evicting you is much harder, which is a benefit to you.[/quote]
