If someone lives in an apartment and is not on the lease is he responsible for rent?

Legally speaking, he does NOT have to pay rent. The courts will see him as a visitor (legal term: transient). Even if he is added to an existing lease, both parties are responsible for paying the rent by the agreed upon due date to avoid eviction. No sense in having this freeloader drag you down. Just change the locks. Good luck! If he's living in your apartment, you certainly have the right to request that he pay or get out.

∙ 13y agoThis depends on where you live and with who. If you are living with family, friends, roommates, etc... and they want you to pay rent, then yes you would have to pay them the rent to stay there otherwise they can throw you out since you are not on the lease.
If you are staying with someone and the landlord found out and is now asking them for more rent, or for you to pay rent, this gets more tricky....
In most states you can stay with someone for up to two weeks and be considered a guest, but staying there anymore than 10-14 days out of the month is considered to be living there and in that case the landlord can legally request that whoever is on the lease pay an additional amount for another person staying there, otherwise the person will be violating their lease and the landlord could legally evict them.
So without more information on your question it's hard to answer it exactly, but I would say that yes, if you are not on a lease but you are living with someone and either they, or their landlord is asking for you to pay money, you can either pay it, or leave, or if the landlord is involved in asking for more money whoever you are living with could face an eviction if you don't pay the additional amount.

What is a bachelor apartment?
I would like to say that it is the one bedroom apartment with all necessary things. A bachelor apartment is one that combines the bedroom, living room and kitchen in the one room unit. Although small in size, it's a good choice for someone who wants to avoid room mates and save money while living in a city or town. But many bachelor apartments share a basic layout: the single room combines the living room, kitchen and sleeping area. In some bachelor apartments, the kitchen may have a window partition to separate it partly from the rest of the room, but kitchen is common for two rooms in a bachelor apartment.

Can a roommate leave and someone else take over on an apartment lease?
It depends if that person is named on the lease ie. a joint lease. If the roomate is the sole leasee then usually it is to the landlord discretion whether to lease to someone else. You have to inform the landlord of the change otherwise it is a breach of rental agreement. I would suspect that 99% of landlords are more than happy to have someone who lives in the property take over the lease, it saves a lot of time and money in finding a new tenant.
Boyfriend was added as occupant of my apartment to lease and arrested at our apartment due to police being called by neighbor can he be charged with tresspassing if he returns to apt.?
No. If his name is on the lease, he is permitted to come and go as he pleases. The only exception would be a restraining order which would prevent him from entering the apartment even if he lives there. The problem with that is that you would not be able to enter the apartment if he was already there too.

If he is there to visit, ask him to leave. If he refuses, call the police and have him escorted out. If he lives there, you'll have to evict him. However, if the lease is in both names, you cannot do this.

Can you break your lease if you have a kid and a sexual predator lives in the same building?
You can break a lease for what ever reason you decide, however you will in all likelihood still be responsible for the contract you made. That is, if you find that a registered sex offender lives in the same building, you can panic and run, but you will still be liable for the rent. The responsible solution is to keep an eye on your kid, and take precautions against the child becoming the victim of the predator you don't know about.
