    It depends entirely on the wording of your signed lease. do the grandkids acturally live there? if so, this could be a violation of your lease.

    Living in an apartment or codo is your home. your guests are your business, as long as no laws or lease agreements are violated. maybe the landlord is just looking for an excuse to evict you. having your grandchildren there, should not be a problem, unless they are creating a disturbance for the other tenants. talk to your landlord and face this problem head-on. you might be surprised at the results.

    This is a vague question and hard to answer with so few details. Technically, based just on the fact that your grandkids visit, the answer is likely no unless there is some bizarre law where you live that says grandkids visiting is cause for eviction. . .I highly doubt that there is such a law :)

    However, if the grandkids are disturbing other tenants and the landlord is getting hit with complaints then it would be possible to evict you for that reason. Just as they would a tenant who plays the stereo at top volume at 4:00 AM. . .

    Or, there are some communities that are "age exclusive" and kids are a no no. If you live in such a place and the kids stay with you frequently enough, that might be reasonable cause to evict also.

    If the grandkids are damaging the property, i.e., they are creating crayon murals on the walls, that would also be a good reason for a landlord to evict.

    If you mean your grandkids are "here all the time" as in they end up staying with you and living in the residence for lengthy periods of time then that it is also cause for eviction. For example, where I used to rent, any guest that intended to stay for more than 2 weeks had to be approved by the rental office. This prevented people from taking in roomates and avoiding placing them on the lease. There was also the fact that where I lived, there were "occupation limits"--this meant that no more than 2 people could permanently reside in, say, a tiny 1 bedroom apartment. The managemnet company could potentially pay a substantial fine to the county if they found that units were overoccupied. So, that might be anoter reason your landlord has concerns.

    Like I said, without more details, this is impossible to answer accurately. Hope this helps though.

    You don't have a lease? That's a bad thing. Without a legal agreement, I think he could evict you at anytime for any reason. He probably doesn't have to give a reason.

    For future reference, never rent without a lease.
