CENTRAL, SC (FOX Carolina) -
A soldier returning home for the holidays to see his wife and newborn baby in Central is being kicked out of his wife's apartment after the landlord said he is overstaying the time allowed for visitors.
Sergeant William Bolt is stationed in Missouri, but his wife has been in Central. She gave birth to their daughter two weeks ago.
Bolt said the landlord at The Groves apartment complex in Central told him he had overstayed, saying visitors are not allowed to stay in the apartments past seven days, per the agreement signed by Bolt's wife, Lily. [snip]

Ps: for a soldier I’d wait 3 months and would just ask them to pay for the extra costs of their use of utilities, which is about $100.
I wouldn’t want to charge, but as it is most profits are eaten up by government taxes, utilities paid for in the rent and building expenses.
My daughter’s rental agreement at college is per-person.
That is so right. In addition there’s added wear and tear on the residence.

After just having a baby, husband serving his country and at Christmastime. A person can't get any lower. That's why I suspect there is more to the story than is being told.
There is a remedy....and that is to notify the landlord of the circumstance. In other words, this whole thing is a lot of cr** and only got into the news because the landlord is nasty.
Agree about the media living stuff out.
Such as, when did she move in, when did they get married,before or aftershe moved in, why wasn’t he on the lease, etc
‘Living’ s/b ‘leaving’
Roger that. A homo loving dimocrat if ever one was aborted out the rear hind quarters.
Probably because he is a soldier and isn’t living there....nor is he intending to live there.
“”I’m stationed in Missouri and we haven’t seen each other in six months. What’s the problem with me staying and visiting with my wife?” Bolt said.”
What does he not understand about an agreement?
“I’m just thinking there has to be something else to this story to which we are not privy.”
Yeah.
Anytime I've had trouble with anything, I've made sure there's a paper trail.
Certainly a landlord would do just that.
The landlord probably has a friend who wants her apartment and willing to pay more. Or the perv has the hots for her and can’t stand the competition.
“The Fair Housing Act would protect these folks from this snarky, hateful landlord.”
Obama to the rescue!
My son’s off-campus lease is also per person.
We have rentals out here in Oregon.
We have guest restrictions also, but the tenant can add new names to lease easily. The only cost is that we charge $35 for a credit and background check (which is what it costs me to get it run). I have had numerous instances where they would balk at having the background check, either because of the $35 or because of what they knew we would find.
The last time this happened, a wife rented a unit saying she was getting divorced and that she had a restraining order against her husband. Two weeks later, he and his dog are living in the place, being obnoxious and threatening the manager about all sorts of things.
I prepare a letter terminating her lease and plan to hand deliver it, so I arrange a meeting and ask the police for a “domestic standby”. Cops show up, run the plates on his vehicle and tell me he has several assault charges pending: different incidents, multiple victims.
I knock on the door, give her the letter, agree to a move-out date, etc. He is hiding inside because of the restraining order and the cops being outside.
He calls me later and says I am a coward for having the cops there...

Just because the husband in this case is in the military, it does not automatically mean that he has a clear record, or that he is an even-tempered, pleasant person to be around.
Given those terms, the newborn daughter is not on the lease and thus the mom could be kicked out!
I am reminded of the scene in The Godfather when Vito Corleone agreed to help the woman who was evicted because of her sons dog.
You Oliver Wendell Holmes. Brilliant
