Whether or not your landlord contractually can require that you have no one spend the night at the rental that you have depends upon what is stated in the presumed written lease that you have. The written lease controls the terms and conditions of the landlord's obligations owed to you and vice versa in the absence of conflicting state law.
If the agreement has no prohibition as to who may spend the night or not as to your rental, the landlord has no right to tell you that you cannot have anyone spend the night at the rental.
