Overnight Guest Frequency
One roommate's partner stays over 4-5 nights per week. The other roommate feels they're effectively living with a third person who doesn't pay rent.
Alex
Side A
A guest staying more than 3 nights/week is essentially a resident and should contribute to rent and utilities.
You're frustrated that your roommate's partner stays over 4-5 nights a week, uses the shower, eats shared groceries, and takes up common space. Utilities have gone up noticeably. You think anyone staying more than 2 nights/week regularly should pay a share.
Jordan
Side B
Having your partner visit is a basic right, and the lease allows guests.
Your partner stays over frequently but your lease says nothing about guest limits. Your partner doesn't use much — quick showers, brings their own food. You think your roommate is being controlling and the utility increase is minimal ($15-20/month).
Expected Outcomes
Scored from Side A's perspective. Positive = favors Alex, Negative = favors Jordan.
Guest cap of 2 nights/week set, with partner paying a share if they exceed it
Guest nights capped at 3/week and partner contributes to utilities monthly
Partner covers their share of utilities; guest stays limited to 4 nights max
Jordan's partner pays a small utility bump but no night limit is imposed
No guest restrictions; Alex's concerns treated as overreach into Jordan's personal life
