Can my landlord tell me who I can and cannot have over?
It doesn’t state anywhere in the original 6 month lease about denying entry to people. just the usual no one can stay more than 2 nights in a month. Can he legally say who can come over and who can’t?

Generally speaking, a landord can not limit the visitors of an apartment of a tenant. However, if the visitors start staying on a regular basis then the landlord could have a beef under the "additional occupants" portion of the lease (pretty standard) and if the visitor causes trouble then under the nuisance law. Good luck.
