Should I include tenant's girlfriend who is staying part time on the lease ?

I'm a landlord in CA and about to sign a lease with a new tenant who has a girlfriend who will be staying with him 3-4 days a week. Should I put her on the lease and get a pet deposit for her dog that she is gonna bring in the property?

I wouldn't do that. I Would add a guest policy to your lease, and a pet addendum but do not put the girlfriend on the lease until the tenant says he wants his girlfriend to move in.

I disagree on this one J D. 3-4 days a week with a dog = tenant with a pet. This is a sly way some use to possibly pay cheaper rent & get away with no pet fee payment......... lookin for problems... I say require the guy to get his girlfriends foot in or out. If it's out, then the lease should have a guest policy. No sane guest policy would allow guests 3-4 nights every week with a pet.....just sayin.
