Lodger's guests

Hello, I've just rented out two rooms in my house to two lodgers.

They are both nice girls and get on. The rent is inclusive of all bills and they are getting a good deal.

The thing is their guests. It's oonly been just over a week, one had her boyfriend over last weekend and he's here again this weekend (she didn't ask if he could stay) The other asked before she moved in if her boyfriend could stay over for a coupe of nights this week and I said yes but also said that it was about 'balance' (when I said said, I mean texted). He arrived on Wednesday and is still here on Saturday.

AIBU to be worried about this. It's a small house and two couples and me is too much and also there's all the extra bills which seems mean but I'm running on a very tight budget.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.

I had it written into the contract that no overnight guests for more than 2 nights a week and that 3 nights a week they would be considered co-lodgers and the contract rewritten (I said I would charge 75% of double what a single lodger would pay to cover additional bills). I did have this written into the contracts from the start though - you may have to break a few eggs to make an omlette in your case though :( Good luck
