Having someone stay overnight
Guests are allowed by prior arrangement. Ask us at least 24 hours before they are due to arrive.
The policy, in full
- Request it at least 24 hours in advance. Your guest cannot stay before we have agreed to it.
- A stay is between one and three nights.
- Check first what an overnight guest might do to your Housing Benefit, or to the housing element of Universal Credit.
- Your tenancy continues unchanged. You remain responsible for all of its conditions, including anything your guest does, such as damage or antisocial behaviour.
- Your guest gets no tenancy of any part of the property, and the flat must not become overcrowded.
- We can refuse a request where there is a concern about your safety, or another resident’s.
What we need from you
- Your guest’s full name
- Your guest’s address
- Which flat and building you are in
- How many nights, between one and three
- The date they arrive
- A photograph of your guest’s identification
