Roommate Constantly Has Guests Over — Setting Limits

Having guests is normal — but your home should still feel like yours, not a hotel.

Agree on a guest policy: how many nights per week is okay? Overnight guests need advance notice?

Distinguish between a friend coming over for dinner and someone effectively moving in without paying rent.

If a partner is staying 4+ nights a week, it's fair to ask them to contribute to household costs.

Document your guest policy in HomeCo's shared agreements so it's written down and accessible to everyone.
