It is their house, so they have the rights to set the rules.
If you have such a request...PLEASE inform the owner before hand on such requests and decide whether u can live with their decision or not.
This is more towards mutual trust and whether you take their word or not.
They can go against what they said earlier if they think you are doing it a bit too often or something ticked them off.
Hmmm, definitely won't be often, but I'm just trying to avoid a situation where the landlord is pushing you around despite paying rent and all.

Nah, the third wheel just attended the Dr House school of being a d1ck.
You cant since its the prerogative of the landlord. Even if you have an agreement in black & white in regards to house rules. Its not legally binding so you have to take the landlords house rules in verbal form and it depends on the landlords character, if that person is nice then good for you but or more often then not, their a bunch of inflexible mofos.
So generally speaking, singaporean landlords are arses? Man.

Most landlords have this rule if they are also living in the house. Especially if their family is also staying there.
IMHO, it's understandable. If I were the landlord, I wouldn't want to have strangers (ie. non-tenants or best case, non-regular visitors) having a free run of my house, using my stuff, contaminating my fridge, washing machine, utensils etc. One week, it's this friend. Next week, it's that friend... for instance. And if something is broken or stolen/lost, who's going to blame whom?
I rented 3 rooms in one year when I was in college. 2 out of 3 were okay with me bringing back a gf and she stays over, but had to make sure she doesn't walk around in the middle of the night in her underwear or something (or nothing) etc. All were okay when to have my parents stay a night or two if they visited. But none would let me bring back friends to hangout, definitely not overnight.
Yeah that does put things into perspective. I guess the best way to avoid the whole complication is to get an entire unit to yourself, eh?
