We are happy for you to have guests at Paragon but, as their host, you are responsible for their conduct and behaviour at all times.
All guests must be met and signed in by their host at Reception. They must leave a form of photographic identification (ID) at Reception for the duration of their visit, so you should make sure that they bring something suitable with them (this should not be a passport). Unaccompanied guests or guests without a photo ID will not be permitted on site.
Residents must accompany their guests when they leave and ensure they have signed out and collected their ID.
You must remain with your guests for the entire time that they are on site, whether in your room or outside. Unaccompanied guests will be asked to leave. You must not allow your room to be used by others for any period when you are not on site.
Permission
If you are inviting guests to stay overnight or share the common spaces in your flat, you must get the agreement of your flatmates beforehand.
All guests and visitors are permitted on site at the Manager’s discretion. Touareg reserves the right to refuse access or require a guest to leave site without explanation.
Day visitors
You may have up to three short-term guests. They must leave site by 11.00pm on the day they arrive or be re-registered as overnight guests.
Overnight guests
In compliance with Fire Regulations, you are only allowed to have one overnight guest at a time. Guests must stay in your room and not in any common areas.
Overnight guests must sign in at Reception and can stay for a maximum of three nights without the Manager’s permission, provided that all your flatmates agree. If asked, you must provide written evidence from your flatmates that they agree to the guest staying.
If you want a guest to stay for longer than three consecutive nights you must seek written permission from the Paragon Manager at least 48 hours before the guest is expected to arrive.
In general, the Paragon Manager will only grant permission for guests to stay for a maximum of six nights in any month. The Manager may also limit overnight guests during exam periods and during the summer vacation.
Consideration for all residents
All residents and guests are expected to be quiet and considerate when in the courtyard or any communal areas, particularly late at night. Private parties are not permitted anywhere within the residence. If you are meeting friends from elsewhere, please do so in the common room, showing due consideration for other users.
