what is the time limit? Or are you so chill that you dun care, as long as they clean up after themselves and help around a little? Or just an absolute no because you're not that close with people or want your privacy?

why or why not ?

As long as they clean up after themselves or help around the house it isn't too bad. But there is definitely a time limit.

I'm currently living in a hotel/motel and there are only two beds. My sister and mom literally have to share a bed and I think most people would feel uncomfortable sharing a bed with me. So, they'd have to sleep on the floor.

Being around my mom and sister and sharing a fucking hotel/motel with them is pretty awful, so I'd be happy to let them.

I do not care. the place where I am going to be living does not allow other people to sleep there, tho. If the friend in question is Ninja sure thing.

If he doesn't smell or reek of urine or alcohol, then yes.

Friends? What a foreign term... (nah I'm kidding *cough cough* but if I did have a bud that needed to stay over my place, probably a week or so if he plans on staying a month or more he better pay for food at least lol)

My limit is a month, and that's just if they are having a really hard time. I have had a Couch-Man before, and it was a pretty terrible experience. He just drank and played video games all day. He paid rent, but the TV belonged to me and I never got to use it, so it was pretty lame.

If it's going to be more than a month, I would rather clear out my spare room and give it to them than have them live on my couch forever. And they will pay rent if it's more than a month, but I'm a first-month-is free kind of girl. If they need to live on my couch, they probably can't afford rent and need a little time to find a job.

I'd also be pretty picky if the friend was staying a long time, but I can't turn someone out if they have absolutely nowhere else to go. I would be quite active in getting an irresponsible person into a situation where they are not a liability, though. I tend to not keep people around if they are irresponsible, though, so I don't think I would ever find myself in this situation.

Of course. I wouldn't mind it. I got used to the "roommate" thing so I don't see anything wrong with that. Last month I crashed at my friend's place for a week because I had a week full of exams. I go to college that's not in my hometown, friend lives in the city that I go to college to; I left my apartment when classes were over because I don't want to waste money on rent and bills when I can live home.

As long as it is someone who is close to me I'm fine, otherwise I wouldn't even be letting him/her crash at my house

Hm... I guess if it was a really close friend there would be no problem. I mean, as long as they kept everything clean and would help a little with home tasks there would be no problem.

I'd just ask them to try to find a solution on the next 2/3 months or so. If it was for too long it would start to be "annoying".

I don't mind to a certain extent. They just have to keep the couch clean from any mess. I wouldn't let them eat their food over there. Also I don't want my friend to start screwing his over girl in my couch. Not in my place. Like hell nah. They need to find a different room for that.

I'm fine provided that I actually like the guy. I wouldn't be annoyed alot, since he will probably deprive me of MAL, something that is quite positive.

They better clean up, keep the couch intact and not be a waste of money, time, and space coz I'd rather not deal with nuisances from that person~ They gotta avoid being noisy during anime time too hmm

Depends. For a few months, two, three or four, I don't care, if they help a bit and don't eat all my food, but never contribute anything.

I would not like it at all. Prefer to keep the space to myself. At most I would give them 1 night when they need a place to sleep after we go out. Which I have also done in the past.
