Landlord Guest Policy Rules

Summary

In Indiana, landlords cannot perform background checks on guests without their consent. They can set reasonable visitation rules but cannot deny all company, as it may violate the quiet enjoyment clause in leases. If the lease does not mention guest restrictions, tenants are generally allowed to have guests. Landlords cannot trespass a guest unless they are causing a disturbance or breaking the law. Always review your lease and consult a local attorney for specific legal advice.
