Landlord trying to stop me any overnight guests under any circumstances

What a mess.

OP just look elsewhere. This really isn't worth it.

I would tend to agree with moving elsewhere - but he needs to either have his money's worth (at the terms agreed) or be sure there is no legal obligation on him to pay the remaining 4 months worth of rent (eg because the LL gives him something in writing cancelling any such obligation).

One can't just throw away hundreds of £s because someone else's circumstances have changed (ie the LL's ones - if an earlier poster is correct that the LL didn't originally plan to live in the house).

In your position I would phone shelter as they are the best to advise you as to your position. But, unfortunately, because you are living at the property of your LL, and your LL is living there also, unless he agrees that you can have visitors or not keep you to the six month agreement he can make life quite difficult for you.

I'm afraid the best situation is to speak slowly and clearly with no slang (not like he's an idiot but to aid understanding) that the present situation is not going well, both of you are unhappy, and would he agree to end the 'tenancy'? Is there any way you could ask him to have an english speaking relative there before the meeting so you can reach an agreement. Say you would like to sort the situation out.

Then you can look for somewhere else, where you are actually a tenant and remain a tenant.

If it was me in your shoes I would sit down with the landlord and have a 1-2-1 conversation. Tell him your thoughts and what the agency said and listen to what he has to say....Try come to a mutual ground if you can...

Why is everyone making this so complicated. If you live in a shared house you need to get on with everyone living there be it the other tenants or the landlords. If you don't then move on.

I think its reasonable that the live in landlord or even another tenant object to more people in the property than they reasonable expect. If you are living 4 to a house and a fifth person moves in sometimes you might well be annoyed at them taking up half an hour in the bathroom in the morning when you need it and need to get to work or taking up an hour cooking in the kitchen in the evening when you might want to be doing that.

So if you are in a shared house and are not getting along with all the others living there then move on.

Think of it the other way what if you were in a house share of 4 people and the other 3 people invited their partners to stay over. The shared facilities that were shared amungst 4 people are now shares between 7 which means you personally have less access and freedom and would probably not be thrilled about it

The common sense thing to do is find a different rental

The problem is we live over an hour from each other. Also she works near me, so it makes sense she stays midweek and me vice versa at the weekend.
If she lived nearby I'd stay over there more often, but it just isn't practical, or even that feasible.

Since your GF works near you, is there any reason both of you could not rent somewhere together in your area?

Must be a reason. I'd love to know, since the current situation is getting complicated, and it could be solved easily enough I would have thought.

He's said she has a mortgage so I doubt she'll want to sell her house or rent it out just to rent with him just because his landlord doesn't want guests.

I'd move and try get costs back on the basis that you didn't know your landlord was going to be living there.
If I wanted someone telling me who I could have to stay over or giving me house rules I'd just go live back at my parents house!

Trump victory likely to push mortgage rates up? She might need someone paying a second share soon enough.......

OK.

Get the heck out ASAP and find a suitable love nest near GF work and yours.

Gotta be proactive and stop wasting energy on something that will take ages to solve.

But if you are up for a fight, go for it.

Less time with GF in the meantime though I'd say.

Life is too short for this kind of hassle. It can be solved.
