Im in a rental. I am not sure yet but I think that to get licensed in a rental you have to get something signed saying your landlord allows you to run a daycare out of the home. My landlord is a real estate company but they manage it. Someone from out of state owns this townhouse. Im afraid to ask permission because what if they say no? Ive already been doing it and didnt realize that I might have to get a signed permission slip to do this. I havent rented a place in over 15 years! But because of our move, we didnt want to buy a home in a new area without renting something and getting to know the area first. What should I do? Work without a license until we move next Spring or chance it and see if they will allow it? I dont really want to do that because what if they dont?? Ugh.

Well if you aren't required to be licensed then you shouldn't need permission unless it's in your rental agreement so you may want to check that out. If you want to become licensed (or registered) then I'd check with licensing about the policy. I wouldn't say you already do it, I'd say that I was interested in doing daycare and was wondering what their regulations were for rentals. Some states require a form to be filled out by the landlord and some don't. I know here it's required (CA) for the form to be kept in my files and had to have my fiance fill it out since it's his home and I'm not on the title (it was his before we started dating) but it wasn't required for me to send it in with the licensing application and they've never asked to see it or anything.
If you don't get licensed what would happen? Can you still do daycare?

i can see why she'd need permission. if she doesn't own the house and something happens to a kid on that property, the owners could be held liable. surely they have insurance, but still - who wants that on their hands when they're just renting a place? i would just about bet they would say no.

It might be different because you have a townhouse though

I took a quick look at your state regs and did not see anything that mandates you get permission from your landlord. It was a quick check though, so you may want to review more closely:
I'll tell ya, I found the section on discipline to be AWESOME!
In Ca. we are required to INFORM our landord if we rent, but the cannot legally disallow us from conducting child care services on the property and we do have recourse if they try to retaliate. The only exception is if we choose to care for two additional school aged children, we have to get permission for those TWO extra children. All we need is to write a letter informing of them of our intent and provide a copy to licensing.

I would not say anything if you don't have to. When I was looking for a home rental, I was turned down many times because of home daycare. This was all for homes, not apartments, where there are many neighbors to worry about. I finally found one that would accept us, but raised our rent by 100 because she said I will make a lot of money using her home.

But, I had the same experience when we rented. MANY landlords would not accept us because of home daycare.Last edited by Michael; 06-21-2010, 01:04 PM.
