What restrictions can a landlord place on a tenant's daytime visitors? I can understand why a landlord might be able to restrict high traffic suggestive of your conducting a business out of your home, or possibly of illegal activity. But can a landlord tell you that your adult child and his partner cannot visit your home for more than a certain amount of time per day, and a maximum number of days per week? This is in California.
The landlord does not have the right to restrict visitors.
If the landlord believes that the visitors are in fact living in the unit, and that you're lying when you say they're just visiting, that may explain the landlord's "rule" -- but its still not a valid rule.
However, it seems likely that if you press the issue the landlord will either not renew your lease when it expires or, if you're month-to-month, give you a 30- or 60-day notice terminating your tenancy.
