It depends upon your lease agreement. If someone is being a nuisance to other tenants, or there is threat to the safety or security of other tenants, then, yes, the landlord can restrict that person from coming onto the property. Also, if there is drug use or sales as a result of this person entering the property then, yes, the landlord can restrict that person. I would recommend that you look at your lease and/or have it reviewed by an attorney.
