    Can the landlord dictate whether a male friend spends the night in my room?
    The property is in Hendersonville, TN. The landlord and I are roommates. She says that I am not allowed to have a man spend the night with me in my room because it makes her uncomfortable. Can you please direct me to specific laws concerning my situation?

    Is there a lease? If so, what does it say?

    If she is the landlord she can evict you according to the terms of the lease or as a month-to-month tenant if that is the situation if you do not respect her rules.

    I find NOTHING that says she has to allow you to have overnight male guests if they make her feel uncomfortable in any way.

    In this situation she is in the right. Unless you have a lease that specifies you can have overnight visitors, as a resident landlord she can dictate this.

    There are probably not any laws that deal specifically with this, but a resident landlord can control such things.

    There is no written lease agreement.

    It's not that the man himself makes her uncomfortable. It's that the idea of me having a man in my room makes her uncomfortable. I don't guess this makes much difference, though.

    Thank you for your answers.

    You can of course have him visit, and she can of course evict you with notice.

    So your choice

    I will assume you are renting a room in her home or her apartment.
