Is it within right for a landlord to limit how many times a person can stay with a tenant. And also can they deny someone from signing a lease with them and also without even letting them know the exact reason why they denied them.

It really depends on the Landlord/Tenant laws in your state, This information would be made available to you at any housing commission. I know you can have a house guest for up to 14 days, anything beyond that they would be considered a tenant and therefore are supposed to added to the Lease. Because of the fair and equal housing act, the property owner/Landlord, should disclose to you their reason for denying tenancy. If I were denied tenancy, without any explanation why,. I would be forced to consider that the landlord knew they are in violation of the fair housing act and therefore they would be facing a civil action.

Yes they can limit the amount of time a guest can stay in a months time. I believe that they do have to tell you the reason you were denied tenancy.
