I recently learned that there are a lot of people in my area that rent rooms to travelling nurses and other professionals on a month to month basis. I'm leaning toward doing this for now to get my feet wet and to save up cash for a larger DP on a rental in the future.
I've seen some agreements online but haven't seen one that specifically says no overnight guests allowed. I want authorize guest but they have to leave by 10pm (typical curfew in my neighborhood). What do you think?
I would think that since it's a room in your own home that you could make any reasonable rules you want as long as they are stated in the contract. If I was renting out a room in my home, I certainly wouldn't want them having other people sleeping there. It's my home and I need to feel safe in it. Nothing wrong with having quiet hours either. Apartment buildings have quiet hours from 10-6, there's no reason why you can't have them in your home. I would see it as no different from renting a hotel room. You can't have people stay over that aren't registered and paid for, and they have quiet hours too.

You gotta be kidding me. Can they have a beverage of adult nature, or that also will have to be approved by you. I don't know bout you, but most fun things I do start after 10:00 P.M.
Why control someone's life to that extent? Its illegal to enforce these kind of restrictions. You have to allow people quiet right of enjoyment when you rent out the place. Its a legal requirement in most cases, and I hope you have better things to do in your own life than worry about who is screwing whom....
I grew up in Lompoc! Do they still have the Flower Festival? Cabrillo High School Rules!
What you want to avoid is a tenant moving in their BF/GF in as an unauthorized tenant. You can do this by limiting "overnight guests" to a certain limit per month without becoming the morality police.
Most traveling nurses I have known work the night shift, so be sure you can accommodate day sleepers with a quiet house and room darkening shades.

Standard Lease Agreement in VA allows unauthorized guests for up to 15 days. I am sure CA would have some stipulation in their standard lease agreements similar to that. Anything beyond that requires them be part of the lease. I am not sure how you can object to a friend spending a night at your place.

Yes we still have the flower festival. I love this little town.
Yeah I don’t want be morality police but I don’t want to have more than one roommate especially if the other isn’t paying. Occasionally it’s ok but if they have overnight guests more than not then I don’t want that.
Yeah I have blackout curtains so that will be perfect for day sleepers. I’m also very quiet so that wouldn’t be a problem.

Oh ok, I’ll find out what it is if any in California. It would be great to have something like that. Like I said on another post sometimes is ok but if they’re practically there all the time then that’s not acceptable.

It’s not illegal if they agree to it on a lease... but yeah finding someone to agree would be the real challenge for sure.
Not allowing guests at all is kind of like a boarding house situation. Not really a roommate. You could find someone but a 10 pm curfew that would be a turn off even for those who might not have guests often. Consider the message you send. If you are only trying to avoid another live in person say 7 days a month or something like that and look for someone with a compatable lifestyle.
That makes sense, I’m definitely going to be really picky with whom I rent to. I’m doing this for extra income so I can be picky. It’s something I want to try not something I have to do so I can be very selective in finding someone with the same lifestyle.

That's my whole point. Can validity of such clause be challenged in the courts. Be better if legal expert weighs in. It doesn't matter what they sign, if what they sign is thrown out of the courts.
For e.g. if the employer makes the employee sign that the employee will work for the said employer until death, you think that is a valid agreement in 2018.
Still not sure why you even want such stipulation for your tenants, but again that's besides the point. I have met crazier people.. Trust me. lol
True. Like someone said earlier it’s just better to find someone with the same lifestyle and compatible with me. That way I don’t have to put it on a lease.
