The Dictator

By anonymous - 18/01/2012 05:06 - United States

Today, I discovered that my new landlords must meet and approve guests of mine before they come over, and guests are not allowed when they aren't home or past 11pm. I'm 25 years old and just moved out of my parents' home to get away from my controlling mother. FML

Are you renting an entire apartment, or are you renting a room in someone's house? If you're renting an apartment, then the space is functionally yours and your landlord has no business who comes and goes provided your guests don't disturb the other tenants in the building, and that you're not having extra people living there in violation of your lease. If you're renting a room in someone else's house, where you and your landlord have access to common living space in the same house, then yes, your landlord can make rules and the rules can be pretty arbitrary.

Did you sign something with this on it? If you did, deal with it, if you didn't and this was not discussed before you moved in, surely this would be grounds to break your lease?

They can only enforce that if it's in your lease and in that case you should've read the lease before signing.

You probably should've checked the rules before you bought the apartment.. This is why over controlling parents are so worthless. They raise children that have no street smarts...

why would s/he ask about these things before living there? It's not like people commonly expect to have such extreme visitor restrictions upon moving into an apartment. S/he may have well asked if there was a dress code too...

77- Any smart person would ask what all the rules/requirements were. It's idiotic to sign papers without asking a lot of questions and making sure you're making a smart decision.

If u r renting your own place, they have no say over your guests or how late they can stay. Move out.

If it's not in the lease they don't have the right to do that, if it's in the lease and you signed it, that would be your fault.
