Hey everyone, I was wondering if it was legal for my girlfriend to stay overnight for a few nights in the room i am renting. The landlord lives above me and we do not share any common areas. However, I want to ask for any experiences any of you might've had involving guests and living somewhere rented. The following rules are stated in our contract:
1) The landlord must not stop the tenant from having guests under reasonable circumstances in the rental unit
2) The landlord must not impose restrictions on guests and must not require or accept any extra charge for daytime visits or overnight accommodation of guests.
2.1) Despite subsection (2) of this section but subject to section 27 on the Act [terminating or restricting services or facilities], the landlord may impose reasonable restrictions on guests' use of common areas of the residential property.
3) If the number of occupants in the rental unit is unreasonable, the landlord may discuss the issue with the tenant and may serve a notice to end a tenancy. Disputes regarding the notice may be resolved through dispute resolution under the Residential Tenancy Act.
So with this in mind, my girlfriend IS allowed to stay for a few nights, right? It's not unreasonable I don't think.. Also what would happen if the landlord still prevents me from having a sleepover with my girlfriend? Would I be able to report it to someone? Can the landlord impose NEW rules even after the contract has been signed? I was just wondering, thanks to anyone who reads or responds to this, have a good night
