Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Tenant Overnight Guests - How Often?

I own a 2 family home and rent the top floor. My tenant has his girlfriend sleep over every weekend. There is no lease only a rental agreement which states ''The Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant as a private dwelling and no other individuals other than Tenant may occupy the Premises''. The tenant signed this agreement. I'm not saying his girlfriend can never sleep over but it seems she is now a part-time tenant staying over every weekend. this costs me more in my water bill. Do I have any rights to limit overnight guests visits in 2-family home?

No. Not when you are taking rent from your tenant.
