"On a December 10 episode of The Dave Ramsey Show, a caller and realtor from San Francisco explained her dilemma about moving into her fiancé's rental after their late December wedding. Her fiancé's ex-wife's name remains on the month-to-month lease despite court orders requiring removal. The property management company has been unresponsive, and the below-market rent saves them thousands of dollars monthly in expensive San Francisco."
"This situation reveals a critical pre-marriage red flag that transcends rental agreements. When one partner consistently fails to establish boundaries with an ex, it signals deeper relationship dynamics that won't magically improve after the wedding. The fiancé's passivity for nearly three years, even after court orders, demonstrates a troubling pattern. Marriage intensifies existing problems rather than solving them."
A fiancée contemplates moving into her partner's rental while the ex-wife's name remains on the month-to-month lease despite court orders. The property manager has been unresponsive, and the below-market rent offers significant financial savings in expensive San Francisco. The remaining lease name and ongoing custody complications create emotional discomfort and raise concerns about boundary issues. Advice given includes insisting the lease be redrafted with the couple's names or issuing 30 days' notice. Repeated failure by a partner to set boundaries with an ex signals a pre-marriage red flag that can worsen after marriage.
