Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I live in small 2-bedroom apartment in a very large &amp; expensive city. I often sublet the spare bedroom to people who come to town for extended stays. I provide them with everything they need bedroom-wise...bed, nightstand, dresser, TV, linens, and of course they are welcome to use any of the amenities I have in the apartment. Every tenant signs a sublease with me listing the rules and expectations of the house. One of these rules is my guest policy: 48 hours max.

Currently, I have a roommate who has been taking advantage of this policy. First, it was a guy she was seeing that was spending multiple nights in a row. Then, another friend came to visit from out of town. This friend was originally scheduled to stay for 4 nights, but I reminded my roommate of the policy she had agreed to, and now he's only here for 2 nights. Last night (while her friend was still in town) she told me her mother is coming to stay with us next week. For 4 nights.

Again, I remind my roommate of the policy she agreed to, but this time she pushed back. She said things are "pretty tough" with her family right now and she would really appreciate it if her mother could stay for 4 nights. I stayed firm on my no (beyond 2 nights). My roommate was not happy about this and is clearly very upset with me.

Am I being ridiculous here? I was very upfront about this rule, and I live by it, too, btw. I also offered to help her mother find an affordable housing alternative for her visit, because if things are as "tough" as roommate says they are, there are certainly options available.

TL;DR I have a strict 48hr guest policy for sublets in my apartment. Roommate has a ton of guests, now wants mother to stay for 4 nights and insists that I should allow it because "things are tough" right now. I still said no.
