NYU Law Housing Guest Policy Forum

[nyulawstudent2022]

Hello TLS Forums,

Do any NYU Law students who live(d) on the dorms know how the guest policy is enforced on the private studios or the 1BR apartments (non-family)?

I'm asking because I want to have my SO live with me for a month or so of the term if not longer, in my undergrad at a different institution nobody cared that I lived with another person in my private room.

I'm not at the stage of having joint finances or the kind of marriage-like commitment the form requires nor do I want to pretend,

Thank you for the advice!

Dunno specifically, but

VISITORS/GUEST PASSES/COT RENTALS

Guests must be accompanied by the resident/licensee or possess a Guest Pass in order to enter the building.
The Front Desk Attendant can also call your listed cell phone number on record to announce a guest and obtain permission to allow your guest(s) to go up to your apartment unescorted.
Overnight guests are permitted for no more than seven (7) nights per 30 day period.
The resident/licensee may obtain a Guest Pass for each guest by stopping by their respective building office and filling out a Guest Pass Request Form. If your guest is staying for more than three (3) consecutive nights, written permission from your apartment mate(s) is required before the Guest Pass Request Form can be processed. In addition to building access, the Guest Pass allows the use of University Transportation services.
Cots for overnight guests in D’Agostino and Hayden residence halls are available for rental.
Cot rentals cost $5 per night (Monday-Thursday) and $10 for the weekend (Friday-Sunday).
Due to the limited number of cots available, reservations must be made in advance and in person.
To make a cot reservation, please visit your building office. For Hayden Hall see the Office of Residential Life, located adjacent to the Hayden Lobby. If you are in D’Agostino Hall visit the Office of Facilities and Services, located on the Mezzanine level.
Note: Guest Passes and cot rentals cannot be obtained by telephone or email. You must visit the office in person.

6. Occupancy and Guests

(A) If it is necessary for the Department of Residence Services to make an assignment to a vacant space in an
apartment, every effort will be made to provide you with notice of the new occupant’s arrival. Although the
Department of Residence Services will make every effort to provide advance notice, any vacant space may be
assigned to another individual selected by the Department of Residence Services without prior notification to you or
any other student sharing the apartment. You agree that you will not interfere with any new occupant’s use or
enjoyment of the assigned space or common areas.

(B) You may not transfer or assign any rights that you may have under this License to any other person. Any attempt
to do so is null and void and will permit the Department of Residence Services to terminate this License
immediately.

(C) Guests must be accompanied by the resident/licensee or possess a Guest Pass in order to enter the building. The
Front Desk Attendant can also call your phone number on record to announce a guest and obtain permission to allow
your guest(s) to go up to your apartment unescorted. Overnight guests are permitted for no more than seven (7)
nights per 30 day period.
The resident/licensee may obtain a Guest Pass for each guest by stopping by their respective building office and
filling out a Guest Pass Request Form. If your guest is staying for more than three (3) consecutive nights, written
permission from your apartment mate(s) is required before the Guest Pass Request Form can be processed. In
addition to building access, the Guest Pass allows the use of University Transportation services. Note: Guest Passes
cannot be obtained by telephone or email. You must visit the office in person.

(D) Hours of Visitation:
Regular Hours Guests:
1. A Regular Hours Guest is anyone who is present in a residence hall or in a room/suite in which they have not
been assigned to live between the hours of 9:00 am and 11:00 pm (EST) on weeknights (Sunday-Thursday) and 9:00
am to 1:00 a.m. (EST) on weekends (Friday and Saturday).
2. A resident is permitted to have up to three (3) guests in their apartment at any time during Regular Hours without
the prior permission of their apartment mates provided there is no interference with the rights of an apartment mate.
3. All Regular Hours Guests must have followed the appropriate access procedures as set forth above.
Late Hours / Overnight Guests:
1. A Late Hours/Overnight Guest is anyone who is present in a residence hall or in an apartment in which they have
not been assigned to live between the hours of 11:00 pm and 9:00 a.m. (EST) on weeknights (Sunday-Thursday) and
1:00 am to 9:00 a.m. (EST) on weekends (Friday and Saturday).
2. A Resident Host must have the permission of their apartment mate(s) to have a Late Hours/Overnight Guest if the
visit is for three (3) days or longer.
3. Even if permission from the apartment mate is granted, the guest may be asked to leave the premises as a result of
complaints about the actions/presence of a Late Hours/Overnight Guest by an apartment mate, which interfere with
his or her academic/personal well-being as well as the community members.
4. A Resident Host may have no more than three (3) Late Hours/Overnight Guests at one time.
5. A Resident Host may not have a Late Hours/Overnight Guest – whether the same or a different person - for more
than three (3) consecutive nights or for more than seven (7) nights per 30 day period.
6. The same individual may not be a Late Hours/Overnight Guest in the residence hall system for more than seven
(7) nights per calendar month, whether with the same or different resident hosts.
7. All Late Hours/Overnight Guests must have followed the appropriate access procedures as set forth above in this
document.

(E) Policy Violations:
All guests in a University residence hall are expected to abide by all University and Office of Residence Services
procedures and regulations:
1. A Resident Host is responsible for the actions of their guest(s) in the residence hall building, apartment, and
common area in which that host resides and will be held accountable for any violations of University policy and/or
for any theft, injury to person or property resulting from the behavior of their guests, regardless of whether that guest
is a fellow University student or not.
2. University students who engage in disruptive or volatile behavior while a guest in a residence hall or an
apartment/room will also personally be held accountable for their actions.
3. Matters involving the problematic behavior of a guest may be managed through administrative actions (e.g.
Classification of guest as Persona Non Grata), through the University student conduct process, or may be referred to
local law enforcement when deemed appropriate.
4. Should a guest who engages in volatile behavior be a student at another college or university, New York
University reserves the right to report that individual’s behavior to their home institution.
5. Late / Overnight guests are not to sleep in lounges or other public spaces.

(F) Apartment mate(s) Interference:
1. Whenever a resident has a concern about the presence of a guest in the room, they should approach the
apartment mate whom the guest is visiting to express their concerns and to seek to resolve the issues.
2. Should Residence Services staff receive (1) a complaint that the presence of a guest (Regular or Late Hours) is
unreasonably interfering with the academic or personal well-being of the residents of the residence hall or a
particular apartment mate(s) or (2) a complaint that the students sharing a living space are unable to agree on the
time, date, frequency, and duration of each other’s visitors, the Residence Services staff may restrict the presence of
guests in that apartment until such time that the residents are able to come to a mutually satisfactory agreement
about visitation.
3. As deemed appropriate, such matters will be addressed through informal discussions with apartment mate(s) or
through formal mediation. Should such efforts fail, the Residence Services staff shall have the authority to establish
reasonable parameters for visitation and all residents of that apartment will be expected to adhere to those terms.
Failure to abide by those conditions may likely result in the reassignment of the student who violates the terms set
forth and may also subject that student to disciplinary action should their guests be involved in a violation of an
University policy.
