Temporary guests and lease
Hosting family or friends in your rented apartment is normal, but the contract and the building's rules can set conditions for guests.
What to review in the contract
Look for clauses on maximum occupants, subletting and third-party stays. Some contracts limit visit length.
Building rules
Many buildings require registering visitors at the front desk and set hours. Long stays may require notifying the administration.
Airbnb-type lodging
Some buildings prohibit short-term rentals. If you host paying guests you may breach the contract or building rules.
Safety and responsibility
You are responsible for damage your guests cause. Inform the doorman in advance and provide documents if asked.
Good practices
Talk to the landlord if you expect long visits and request written authorisation.
Frequently asked questions
Can my family stay a month?
It depends on the contract and building rules; request written authorisation.
Can I charge a friend to stay?
That may count as subletting; review your contract.
Must guests register?
In most buildings, yes, at the front desk.
