Is it is about tenant occupancy. It is about my particular situation. I have been living with my significant other for about a year but did not initially get added to the lease. We want to transfer to another unit owned by the same property management together, with me now on the new lease. However my address currently shows I reside at the property in question. I want to come clean to make it work, but afraid of the reprocussions. What should I do?
