How long can tenant’s guest stay on premises?
Good evening, I’m a landlord and considering tenants from section 8 and city fheps. I’m building out my lease and curious if I can put this in there.
The Tenant will be allowed to have visitors for a maximum of 14 days ONLY with consent from the landlord. If the Tenant’s visitors stay outside of the 14 days; Tenant will be charged an additional $50 every 14 days that the Tenant’s guests are staying in the unit.
Is this legal for me to do this?

It is generally legal for a landlord to include provisions in a lease regarding the duration of guest stays and potential charges for extended visits. However, it is important to review state and local laws regarding landlord-tenant relationships, as restrictions may apply in certain jurisdictions. Additionally, it is recommended to consult with a legal professional to ensure that the provision is enforceable and compliant with all relevant laws and regulations.
