Can my roommates ban my dad from staying at my rented house for 2 days, he just got divorced and needs a place
I'm 21 and I have roommates that I barely know. my dad needs a place to stay and he is really adamant about sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag. This is really wierd, but its the situation. He's never asked to do this before.

Well, I believe they have the right not to have some strange man, your pop, sleeping over there! If they are okay with it, then do it, but otherwise no. I can see one night maybe as an emergency, but otherwise no. Really, what is the agreement you have with them? Probably none. If it is your house then you have the right legally, but you should still consider your room mates feelings. Maybe you need to discuss boyfriend sleepovers too if this may happen. So really, the answer is he should not be there if they have the same rights as you on the rental agreement and they do not want him there. Also, what about the bathroom situation? I would hope they don't have to share a bathroom with him.
Also, he definitely should not stay long under any circumstances. So, if I were your room mate and my privacy is still intact and I don't have to share a bathroom with him, then I would say okay for a few days. Even if you have the legal right for him to stay, I would as a room mate find another place for myself if he were to stay a while. It may help if he chips in some money.
If you have your own room, I would say that your roommates could not ban your dad from staying over. They must be crappy roommates if they object to a 2-day visit from your dad.
if you are on the rental contract, and they arent, then they have no say in the matter, however, if they are on the lease, theyu do have a say, but not any say about him staying in your room. check your local cohabitation laws. A police officer can shed more light on this subject for you.
Well I do not know the rental laws where you are from but if you are renting a room from someone it has to be writen and signed by you saying you are not allowed guests. If it is not in the lease or in a contract then they can not say anything-but that is Quebec law.
