<prompt> Human: Im currently living in a studio by myself; I have a 1-year lease ending in May that becomes month-to-month afterwards. Ive talked to my landlord about the possibility of having my boyfriend as a guest for just 3 months in the summer and they initially said rent may increase due to him moving in. Ill be talking to the landlord in person soon about it. Can I argue that since its such a short period of time and I pay utilities, there should be no increase in rent? I live in a small housing unit with only 4 other tenants, who each live by themselves in their own separate apartments.Thanks in advance for any advice.  <response>: it should not increase regardless of the number of tenants in one unit.
