    I want to rent a room for my daughter and I...
    I want to pay no more than 400 a month, and will I be able to have my friends, and family stay over night in the same room, since I am paying for that room? Does this have to be in writing or not?

    Usually the landlord that you rent from would have a provision for guests in the lease. It is possible to find a landlord that is more flexible in your terms, but it is always safe to make sure that overnight guests permission is in writing.

    The major reason is that you are paying for one person to stay and the utilities and common area that the other roommates pay for is not equally distributed, if extra guests are using more water, electricity, shared space, etc. You will have to find a flexible enough landlord that can work this out with you.

    You want your cake and eat it too. Not many landlords are going to go along with having a constant stream of family and friends stay overnight with you. That's what hotels and motels are for. It's going to be an uphill climb to find such a willing landlord to go along with your terms. Be sure to get this arrangement in writing prior to letting all your relatives and friends stay overnight with you and your daughter on a contunual basis as the landlord just might decide he doesn't want such a tenant. Usually rooms with common area privileges are for one person, and one person only. You are really pushing it with wanting both you and your daughter to share this room unless your daughter is a young child.
