Landlord vs Tenant
Heres the background:
My girlfriend rents out a basement suite. There is no written contract, apparently there was a verbal contract which the landlord stipulated that she's not allowed to have guests stay the night--male or female. It's my understanding the landlord said it would be ok if someone stayed over "once in awhile" should a situation that warrants it arise.
Now my gf and I just got back from a 2 month vacation and her roomate was also on vacation so I stayed over at her place for the 2 nights that she was living alone until her roomate came back. After the second night her landlord left her a note saying he was giving her a final notice and that she was not allowed to have anyone stay overnight.
I know laws vary from country to country and state to state. But is what hes doing legal? It seems totally unreasonable and I read that the landlord can only charge an extra fee if it is a hotel, not for a residential property.
I plan on talking to the landlord but I would like to have some concrete facts to back up my argument
