Today, my boyfriend and I respectfully asked my landlady if he could stay with me until he gets back on his feet. He was robbed at gunpoint in his house last night. Landlady then yelled because we aren't married, and then showed up at my door at 10pm, "just making sure John isn't here". FML

I would've just had him just stay with you and not tell the landlady, she sounds batshit.

You have rights as a tenant. She cannot show up and demand entrance, that's an invasion of your privacy. Read your lease or renters contract and see what privileges you have or don't. My advice, keep him very quiet and hidden and she'll never know.

As long as you are paying rent and there is not an occupant limit in your apartment, you can have people stay with you as long as you want. Unless it's something crazy in your lease agreement there isn't much they can do.

Are you sure she's a land lady and not your conservative mother?

it's a bit of a stretch to say he brought it on himself through drug dealing...and 'getting back on your feet' doesn't always mean financially. I know I would have a hard time feeling safe enough to sleep in my house if I got robbed there just earlier that day, not to mention that crime scenes are closed by the police while they do the investigation...also depending on how the robber got in there may have to be repairs made, insurance claims for what was stolen if more than cash. for someone who has limited details on the situation there's a lot of judging on your part

Pretty sure most people are robbed because an opportunity presented itself to the robber. And he may have a house, but after being robbed of his possessions and money, it may take him a couple of weeks to get back on his feet money wise. Pretty sure you need money for food. Not only that, but that had to have been a traumatic experience for him, and I know I wouldn't want to stay in that house until I amped up the security in it (which again costs money) I am a landlord, and I have it written into the agreement with my tenants, that they need to inform us of they are having a guest stay longer than 2 weeks, and we have the right to refuse that, but if they have family coming in from out of town for a holiday, I have no right, as a human being, to refuse them their visit. If OP's landlord has it written in that she is not allowed overnight guests at all, then OP's landlord is a poor excuse for a human being.

You pay rent your entitled to have a visitor tell your land lady to F off and she can not just show up there is a law about that

She's a land lady, not your mom. Do whatever you want.

1) She's ******* nuts 2) She doesn't have the right to tell you who can & can't stay with you. So just have him stay there anyway & tell her you were just giving her a heads up not asking for permission.

It's not my law, it's the law of England! (Bonus points to anyone who gets the reference)

Do you rent a room or an apartment? If you rent an apartment I don't see how she can do that. If you rent a room in her house I can see how no overnight visitors may be a rule. Either way, your marital status and sex life are none of your landlord's business. We rent a room in our house to a student, I'm cool with his girlfriend spending the night here occasionally as long as they are quiet.

So you can't have sleepovers as well? That's strict...
