Hi everyone,
When renting a room in London from Spareroom, is it acceptable to invite a friend to stay let's say for a week or so ? Can I also have friends staying overnight ?
I've always had my own place, so I don't really know how these things work when sharing a flat.
Thanks !

Probably something you need to check with your flatmates .

It should be fine but best to discuss with them

IMO, It should be fine for a few days but all depends upon how good friends you are with your housemates etc. Lots of factors at play

like

Agree with above. Ask the landlord, room mate etc. Probably not cool to have a full time guest (like a SO). For temp visits from friends, just discuss and time bound it (3 days here etc)

like

Don’t ask the landlord as s/he might say no or charge you. No way the landlord would find out unless your flatmates go to her. DO ask your flat mates and make sure they’re cool with it. And offer to pay your and your guests’ share of utilities if they stay for a week or more.

like

Yeah acceptable, but best to run it by anyone sharing the place with you first (out of courtesy, and also if you want to be a stickler most contracts 'legally' say not allowed)

Handed in my notice recently and my firm is super annoyed, making my last weeks super uncomfortable and awkward. I’ve also been transitioned off work really quickly. We have the flexibility to WFH and come in as we please but I normally did 3 days in office and 2 days at home. Is it fair to WFH as much as possible until I leave or should I maintain my original schedule?
