Sometimes, you’ll want to let friends or family stay at your apartment overnight. This might not seem like a problem if you live in a regular apartment, but it’s something you should be careful about when renting a monthly one.

Nobody wants unnecessary trouble, so we’ve listed a few things you should keep in mind when having guests over at a monthly apartment.

General Rule of Thumb: No Overnight Guests

Monthly apartments have a daily usage fee, and having overnight guests is generally not allowed. Some rooms require an additional fee when occupied by more than one person. Letting someone stay the night is considered living together, which means you’ll need to pay extra.

If someone stays over without prior approval, you’ll be breaching the contract rules for two people using the apartment for the price of one. But don’t worry, having overnight guests isn’t completely prohibited. You just have to request permission beforehand.

Non-Authorized Overnight Visitors Can Result In Penalties

The use of a monthly apartment is limited to the contractor. When an unauthorized guest stays overnight without permission, this counts as someone other than the contractor using the apartment.

This can result in extra fees or even forced eviction. Again, there’s no problem as long as you don’t forget to notify the managing company beforehand.

Don’t Try To Get Away With It

You might think that nobody would notice if you let someone stay for just one night. Yes, there are people who do this and get away with it, but you shouldn’t take your chances.

Companies can’t check every room nightly, but having another person in the room will result in that much more noise. Your neighbors could notice and notify the property owner.

Depending on the situation, you could get yourself into some unnecessary trouble.

You Can Have Guests During The Day

You’re only breaking the rules if you let someone stay overnight. Letting a guest into your room during the day is fine, so your friends and family are free to visit you when the sun is out.

Another thing you should remember is that monthly apartments are limited to use as housing. Tenants can’t use the room as an office or shop, as large crowds of people coming and going can become a nuisance to neighbors.

That’s why having too many guests, regardless of the time of day, can also be considered to be a violation of the contract. This is true even if you’re actually using the apartment as your home. With that said, there’s usually no problem with letting people into your room as long as they don’t stay the night and everyone acts within reason.

In Conclusion

• • No overnight guests without permission.
  • One must request beforehand when having overnight guests.
  • Having unauthorized guests can result in penalties.
  • Having guests during the day is fine.
  • Be considerate of your neighbors and act within reason.

You can have guests visit your monthly apartment, but there are some restrictions. Just don’t have overnight guests without permission or bring large crowds of people into your apartment.

Violation of the contract can result in unnecessary circumstances and penalties. Please be considerate and abide by the rules.
