Paying for overnight guests in rented flat?!

Just hire a DJ and charge £5 on the door, that should calm him down.

Good call. Or maybe a tenner. If someone's going to make a quick buck out of this, there's no reason why I shouldn't too!

Can you point out where I said it was unenforceable??

So you now agree that the LL would not need to stalk the tenant to be able to enforce the term.

Thanks.

To effectively enforce the term? The LL would need to monitor the flat 24/7

Apology accepted.

That isn't what I said.


Look you like to be difficult - for whatever reason. This term is clearly intrusive at best. The LL wants the Tenant to let them know each time they have an 'overnight' visitor.


That term in itself is ambiguous.


There's clearly some conflict with 'exclusive use' of the property, which a court would need to address.


But purely on a practical level the LL literally needs to watch the door, all the time, watching the tenant come and go. That is basically stalking.

Not a landlord I would rent from.

What I think it is really is that he doesn`t want half a dozen half drunk people chatting, playing music and walking about above his flat every other night, sounding like a herd of elephants even although they think they are being super quiet, and this is just a way to get in early and avoid having to confront the OP over the issue?

Paying £5 for an overnight guest isn't going to stop the OP having noisy visitors round every evening.

The landlord sounds like a prat. I'd look elsewhere based on that alone.

5 or 6 visitors a night every night could get pricey, it would stop me, assuming it is £5 per guest that is, would be cheaper to just all mob into a Travelodge:rotfl: The landlord doesn`t get the basics of tenants rights though, and he may even genuinely think it is a smart way to control noise and numbers visiting, but where does it stop, will he be charging a fiver every time you flush the toilet or change a light bulb next?

The LL isn't charging for visitors - just ones that stay overnight so half a dozen guests could be in the flat every evening as long as they go home at some point.
