The following FAQ page will list different forms of acceptable evidence in order to issue a formal leasing violation for tenant guest violations.
Guests: Roommates agree that no more than 2 guests per roommate may be permitted at any given time, unless explicitly approved by other roommates. The roommates are liable any violations arising from their guests. (Page 3).
Overnight Guests: Although the Roommates understand that from time to time overnight guests will be staying at the dwelling, this privilege may not be abused. Overnight guests are not permitted to become de facto residents, whereby they utilize the benefits of any of the other Roommates but are not paying rent. Guests are permitted for three nights stays per 7 day rolling basis. (Page 3).
