C_Strike Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi guys.. just need some information from someone knowledgeable about visitation rights for rented accomodation. Can a landlord refuse his tennants boyfriend/girlfriends from staying one night a week? The story: My girlfriend has moved over to Bath in order to go to Bath spa uni. so she is a student living in private rented accomodation. She works at her home town some miles away and i have been staying at hers on thursday night so i can bring her home on Friday to work.. Today, her landlord came rushing out of his workplace and started having a go at me because i parked slightly on the path on a busy, tight road. fair point, though it was orchestrated in a bulligerent manner. He came out all guns blazing. It ended up getting a little heated due to his bad attitude as i kept telling him to drop his attitude and to simply talk to me as im a reasonable guy and actually understand his point, but he simply got even more worked up. He has now decided that none of the tennants partners are allowed to stay even one night. Im not that fussed as i can still go and pick her up each week, but i question his actual ability to stop me staying. He says that he will report the tennants to the housing agency and others if anyone other than the tennants stays for even one night in a week. Although i dont know much about these laws/ statutes, i thought one night a week was ok without having to be declared or anything? Iv no intentions of staying there as it will just cause problems for the girlfriend, just wouldnt mind understanding my girlfriends rights over this unfortunate situation. Thanks in advance:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Not sure about this, the link below might give you some more information (though you may have to have a look around). http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/HomeAndCommunity/Privaterenting/Tenancies/DG_189101 The landlord is being a bit out of order, I suggest you go through the tenancy agreement.

SupraAyf Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Landlords in this instance have fairly limited rights and since your missus is renting then it's up to her if she has guests etc. The best thing to do is check the tenancy agreement but unless there is some dodgy small print that stipulates otherwise then you should be free to stay over. This sounds to me as if the landlord thinks the place is his own little empire and therefore has ultimate control; he does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Who cares, find somewhere else, good for him, all his tennants will leave becuase of his ignorance now. lolz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_Strike Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 wish it was so Kevin, but i would assume that they would lose their deposit if they left early. Otherwise id tell them all to find somewhere else. I think your right Andrew, he comes across to be a bit of a primitive moron. I actually dont think he even knows his own rights, or lack of, as a landlord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronttuk Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Ive always been led to understand anyone can stay for 3 nights a week and that wont even affect DHSS etc but more than 3 nights and your classed as living there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
