Overnight Guests

You are welcome to have one overnight guest to stay with you for a maximum of two consecutive nights, and for no more than three nights in a seven day period. As you will be responsible for your visitor’s behaviour, it is advisable to make sure that you know someone quite well before inviting them into the Building.

The following conditions apply:

• no visitor under the age of 16 is allowed unless accompanied by their parent or guardian.
• you must not have more than one overnight visitor at a time.
• you must notify us if you intend to have an overnight visitor
• you must not allow an overnight visitor to stay for longer than two consecutive nights and you must not have an overnight visitor on more than three nights in any seven-day period (whether the same visitor or different ones).
• you must not have more than three daytime visitors at once.
• you must stay with your visitor whilst they are in the Building and you must not lend them your Keys.
• we may ask your visitor to leave on any reasonable grounds (such as their behaviour, or the need for evacuation of the Building).
• we may exclude any visitor where we believe it to be necessary for the health, safety or welfare of others, or to protect our property.
