Re: boyfriend landlord problems

Actually, your situation is interesting.

In my opinion your landlord cannot restrict your choice of guests.

On the other hand, your landlord can restrict his tenants, and you state that he is living with you. If so, then there are probably conditions in your lease regarding extended stay overnight guests, and you might be in breach of your lease.

If the boyfriend is an actual tenant, then he needs to be on the lease, you need to stop fighting, and he needs to make nice with the landlord.
