Quick question about the living condition of the petitioner.

Hi,

We're about to finalize our paperwork and send it in. I just have a quick question. My fiancee lives in the same house as her mother and brother. She isn't claimed on her mom's taxes and pays rent/helps with utilities and such.

That aside, my question is about the land lord. What is his part in all of this? Do we need some sort of letter from him that he's aware of me moving in with them when I first get there. We plan to move out soon after but we'd like to move in to a new place together.
I can't find on any form or guide if we even have to get in touch with the landlord before my arrival in the country at all.
Since this is the last thing that's on my mind that could potentially go "wrong" I just wanted to make sure that we're not missing anything.

So long-question short. Do we have to notify her landlord and/or get a statement from him that it's ok for me to move in there before I move to the states?

Thank you for your time.

No need to notify the landlord, at least from an immigration perspective- if you stay longer than a week or two, then your fiancee's lease may say she needs to notify him, but that is a different matter.
