Q: Is it legal for a landlord to limit the amount of overnight guests I have in a month? More than 6 = violation or evicted
When I was meeting the landlord for the showing they had a tennesen agreement that they said was a requirement to move in as well as the restriction of overnight visits. I can only have 6 per month, and an overnight according to them is having anybody other than myself in my apartment from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m... my fiance has been threatened with being trespassed for accidentally going over. He has his own house and they know this.
A: Yes, it legal for a landlord to limit the amount of overnight guests you have in a month. Not only does the landlord incur additional costs and expenses when additional people are living there, but at some point he becomes a tenant. His own residence would only be one factor in determining his status. How do they know he has his own residence? Did you or him tell them? The landlord can't be expect to verify that fact on a weekly basis.
