As a general rule, a guest may not stay overnight for more than 14 days within a 45 day period.

Tenants are responsible for the conduct of all guests and/or visitors while in their apartment, common areas, or grounds.

The adult must be screened according to our Resident Selection Policy and must be eligible to live in our housing. This process must be completed before you move the new household member into your home.
