In practice it just becomes landlords suppressing what people can do in their homes to make things easier for themselves. Landlords would also happily ban parties or children if they could somehow get away with it. That some people would be happy with a no-child or no-party building wouldn't make that okay either.
That said, if it was a matter of a small number of buildings being allowed to designate themselves as no-pet/no-dog, I'd probably be okay with that. Things like this only tend to become a problem if you let anyone do it.
- ameliaquining 1y agoIs there any regulation that stops landlords from prohibiting parties? The internet suggests that this does ever appear in leases, and to the extent that it's not common it's likely just because it's hard to enforce.

Here in California (can't speak to the rest of the country), you have a "right to quiet enjoyment" of your rental property, which has been specified to specifically allow guests within "reasonable" limits. I can't find any case law specifically around day guests (most of the discussion surrounds how long a multi-night guest can stay), but prohibiting guests outright is definitely illegal. All in all, it's safe to say a moderate sized get-together, that doesn't violate the fire code occupancy limits nor make excess noise for the time of day, would be very difficult for a landlord to evict you over.
