My landlord said I cannot have viswitors to my apartment after 10PM I live on the ground floor of an open building. My door opens on the sidewalk. Police have never been called about noise or any other disturbance at my apartment.I live in Waikiki Beach, work in a restaurant as do all my friends and we get home late so we entertain late. Does he have the right to do this
He claims its for security but we have no security guards,no locked gates,no entry system in place.I pay rent, I feel I should be able to enjoy my home anytime I want.
Also, I was an apartment manager for 18 years and have only heard of this in closed rental units,ie;halfway houses,shelters etc...

did not mention earlier, there is no lease agreement, it is a month to month tenancy. The landlord already tried to evict me 2 months ago and I kicked his butt in court to the tune of getting 3 months free rent for my troubles. He came by today with his handwritten rules and asked me to sign that I received them. Naturally, I scribbled my signature nothing like my own since it sounds like an unenforcable rule to me.

It's only unenforceable if it is against the law.
If it isn't against the law, you just voluntarily agreed to something and can be held to it.
You should have just refused to sign because frankly he never would have been able to force you. It's not going to matter that is "looks nothing like" your signature. You signed it, and thats that.
He was counting on your arrogance to do you in, and it worked. He is probably going to try and evict you again, and I think he will be successful.

hey, moron, if it goes to court what you gonna do commit a felony (perjury) and say it is not your signature. hey genius, if you were an apartment manager for 18 years how come you never read the landlord/tenants rights and responsibilities hand book provided by the office of your states attorneys general???? but i am feeling rather generous today so here goes...all changes to any lease (including month to month) must be in writing...also you must be given 30 days notice. find another place to live or another place to party. the reason he got you to sign is because he didn't know the rules. now he does. on sept. 30 you should expect to receive proper written notice to vacate by november 1st...only a court can evict you. get the handbook now and learn the law. i'm still in a good mood so i will permit you to contact me for more free advise. but if you continue to act like a moron i will charge you. you may pay me with food or alcohol

"Illinois regulation stipulates that there could be life like observe given by ability of a Landlord while they like to head into or occupy a Tenant's factors" that does no longer prepare to merchandising the valuables. And it applies in different circumstances in easy terms for run of the mill issues yet emergencies he can enter after knocking whether you do no longer open the door to him. known workday hours are 9-5 and that's while the real factors brokers are obtainable to tutor human beings by the residing house. tell the owner you the two would be napping in the process those day hours yet enable them to head into besides for a peek. A landlord isn't meant to be gentle on your napping hours, effective that is undemanding courtesy yet he does not could be that courteous while he's merchandising his residing house. particular he's acceptable while merchandising the residing house while he says "that is my residing house and that i'm merchandising it, and that i'll come over as quickly as I please". he's merchandising the residing house so he may additionally mow the backyard while he pleases. he's making an attempt to dry out the basement to be waiting to sell the area. And the bowing is in all probability why he desires to sell it. so which you'r eleaving on the tip of the month, did you supply him observe? Do you have a lease? No you may't refuse to answer the door. puppy deposits are non-refundable. you may't choose what he's doing and approximately his being in debt with the aid of fact "he's making an attempt to sell the residing house to clean up the undertaking". And your bringing out how the area is falling aside is of no situation of every person different than you. effective, in case you bypass away with out observe then he can shop your deposit. And that is not any situation of the landlords how lots you paid for the carpet cleansing nor which you probably did that. effective the finding for what you grant will come across you napping, and that's ok. I doubt in the event that they'll ask "you" why you're nonetheless residing house.

Is it in the lease agreement? If it is then yes he can. If it is not then he cannot tell you what to do with when and how often you have friends. I would NEVER put up with that for even a New York Minute!

a landlord has a right to certain extent, if there is no disturbance he cannot complain, but if the neighbors or people staying in the upper floors feel there is a problem he may as well say you so if it falls under an agreement clause

If it is a stated rule that he enforces through the entirety of his rental apartments then, yes, I think he can legally tell you that. It's like parents setting a curfew for their kids. As long as you lodge in his building, he has a responsibility to keep his tenants and his property safe.

I would say no, but it depends on the conditions. Entertaining can always cause tenant landlord problems. I would also depend on whats in the lease agreement.

Can he tell you that?
Sure, he can tell you anything. He can tell you that Klingons are coming to get you.
But can he legally enforce it? I don't know. Does your rental lease say anything like that?
You might need to take your lease to a lawyer and go ask her.
Or you and all your friends might want to just move all your stuff out ... about midnight.

why did you sing the document? even if you singed a fake signature you did sign, you should have refused to sign any new agreements to the original lease agreement

A landlord can tell a tennant anything he wants as long as it does not break Federal law.
