Overnight guests in HMO

paddyz

I’m a live in landlord and have been for years now, Best to actually agree on things before hand and ask permission for guests staying, I’ve had an uproar with others about guests being left alone in the house or cooking or using the loo and generally changing the dynamics in the house, couples can make you feel the outsider, I’ve had crying girlfriends at my door when They have had fallouts, I’ve also had fantastic couples they are respectful and take turns in staying with eachother and you get a nice quiet time when they are away then

But due to some of the bad stuff I now have more rules about guests that future lodgers are ok with now and it works out fine

Totally irrelevant.


OP is not a lodger.

Nothing to do with sex. It’s about living in a shared home with strangers and being comfortable. Couples can ruin the dynamics.

The Landlord has paid for a HMO licence to house X number of people in the property.
It is not X number of people and boyfriends/girlfrineds and anyone else that wants to stay a couple of nights each week.
The council could proscute the Lanlord for overcrowding Simple as that.
If you want to live with your partner get a place together

Surely the licence is for the number of residents. I would be amazed if the council considered a partner staying the night breached the licence terms.


Happy to be amazed of course.....

How Is it spying?

If, as someone has suggested, it is a camera that is looking outside the property onto a public highway. If you can use the camera to view into someone else's property, then yes that is a big no. A camera facing the street is no different to a landlord sat in a deck chair in a string vest and wellies watching all that goes on inthe strert 24/7. (Strange yes, creepy yes, but probably not illegal).

To the Op, if your partner is staying over 2 nights a week, thebonly possible reason I could see that as an issue is if enough occupants have guests staying over during the course of a week to equate yo 1 or more extra people being classed as 'permanently' living there and this might push the number of people in the house into a higher bsnd that the landlord doesn't have the regulations to let to. But if your tenancy contract does not specify you cannot have guests stay overnight that sounds more a problem for the landlord than you. He cannot create new rules because he feels like it without getting you to enter into a new agreement.

If you don't like the dynamics, don't live in an HMO. Other people shouldn't have to accommodate your unreasonable expectations.

Surely sex is an unreasonable expectation. :kisses3:

Presumably the OP stays over at the boyfriend's house as much as he's there at hers.

Does this not average out as one person per room per week?

It's diplomatic for regular staying visitors to be as polite, generous, unobtrusive and inconspicuous as possible, and acting as diffident as they can.
