Tenants over occupancy

[Sasha Aleksandra]

What is the best approach when a tenant bringing 7-9 people to stay overnight every night in a small studio apartment and disturbing all other tenants. Lease ends in December.

Thank you

Typical leases would have clauses governing "occasional guests" and define what occasional means.  In my leases occasional means not to exceed seven days in any 30 day period.  Of course, enforcement is not always practical as you can't be there all the time.

I mostly control occupant count by parking spaces.  Each bedroom has one space.  Two bedroom apartments have two spaces.  The parking limit tends to limit occupants.

You can raise the issue focusing on "disturbing their neighbors" as you have to act when a compliant is filed.  Or are you getting the "you didn't hear it from me..." line from other tenants?
