Re: tenant rights

The landlord can't if only for a few days if not agreed to. Perhaps if the utility costs are pooled with the landlord's, you can offer to pay an increased percentage because of the guest to resolve the issue. Also, check your rental agreement and see if there's anything regarding guests.

Mr. Cohen:

Your lease agreement may have language concerning guests. Please read the lease and contact me if you have questions.
