The nasty truth is that the apartment manager or landlord can prohibit him from being there.
Here is what you can do:
A) Stop the Boy friend sleep overs immediately. Don’t allow your boy friend to sleep over any more. By allowing him to sleep over you are opening yourself up for additional charges. These fees can’t be charged if the guest never sleeps over. (Remember to have him leave at decent hours)
B) Have your boy friend fill out the application. However, send it to the manager via certified letter so that you have proof of delivery. Also, include a letter inside the envelope that states that your boy friend will not be staying more than 14 nights within a calendar year of your lease. The letter should explain that the application is being filled out only as per request by landlord and not for application of tenancy. And finally, the third thing within the letter you will want to state is a response notice. Provide management with 3 days to respond from receipt of the letter, the lack of response will imply the right for your boy friend to visit the property, otherwise management must provide a written statement for denial as per fair credit reporting guidelines.
C) After the response period, you should be able to invite your boy friend back to visit you. (Just don’t allow him to stay the night) Also, make sure he is a perfect little guest that is nice and courteas to everyone.
