    If the person has exclusive use of the property they can have 15 different people stay every 6 nights if they wish and nothing you can do
    An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......

    I would say the landlord needs to get a life
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    The tenancy agreement states "No guests of the tenant will occupy the property for longer than one week without the prior written consent of the landlord" To me now that appears to be very ambiguous.
    You are the landlord right? In that case, why did you put a clause in the agreement that you yourself believe is ambiguous!! :huh:

    I've had my new tenant installed for 6 months.,
    6 Month fixed term? 12months?
    Contractual Periodic?
    I ask because it dictates if/how you could evict. (assuming you decide that's what you want to do).

    All fine for the first 4 months, then her visitors of both sexes began sleeping over, sometimes 3\4 nights on the trot.
    If you know this for a fact then you are definately in breach of the tenant's right to 'Quiet Enjoyment'. You are.... errr... snooping? Harassing?

    ,I believe that to be excessive.
    From what perspective?
    Morally? Keep your morals to yourself!
    Legally? That clause, ambiguous or not, is unenforcible!

    It's a one bedroom bungalow btw. Irrelevant, though I suspect that answers my question above! You don't like the idea of 'naughtiness' going on!

    I understand we all have guests sleeping over,
    I should be so lucky!

    but I think she believes as long as there is a break from so doing she can then re accommodate them.
    Irrelevant what she believes

    I've told her I'm happy for the boyfriend to stay Friday\Saturday nights. Irrelevant what makes you happy

    Can I ask what would you deem acceptable? Minding your own business!
    Thank you.
    Beth.
    Focus on what goes on in your own home. What happens in hers is entirely her affair.


    As a landlord you should

    a) definately not be monitoring your tenant's life. It's illegal.
    b) not be trying to dictate how she lives.

    Guests is plural.

    Does she ever have more than one visitor at a time?
    Irrelevant question. There's no reason why should not.


    But I suspect Beth will not be back, having received responses which are unlikely to please her. She was logged on at 5.00 pm, so will have seen up to post 12 at least.......

    Probably sat in a parked car opposite the bungalow, with binoculars and notebook.

    Coming soon: "My tenants changed their wifi password and didn't tell me, can I evict them tonight?"
  • Never get why some landlords are so insufferable.

    When I rented out a house my two concerns were:
    1) Did they pay on time
    2) Was the house cleaned and minor repairs undertaken

    Anything else almost completely irrelevant, especially something like who visits.

    OP needs to leave the landlording game if this sort of thing touches a nerve because there's going to be far, far, far worse things in store for you to deal with further down the line.

    I don't want to know how you know who's staying over if this isn't a HMO.

    Via all the webcams, I presume.
