He will not have guests over. That was written in his ad (when he was looking for a crash pad). He is working and when he can, he flies back to his home state to be with the wife+kids (this is where he is now). So no guests. Given that he wrote it proactively, advertising himself as an easy, quiet, low maintenance tenant, I do not think I should rehash it. Right?
Ah, got it. Yeah, you might want to mention it in a low-key way, I'd say something like "By the way, your ad mentioned that you weren't having guests over. If that changes, could you give me a heads-up so I know not to wander around in my pajamas?"

[Edit to add: I probably wouldn't actually say THAT to a male that I don't know well yet. I wouldn't want him to think that I'd be parading around in PJs and various states of undress while he was there. But, you get the gist, right?]

But yup, it sounds like he really is just looking for a place to sleep until he can get his own accommodations and bring his family over. It sounds like he could be a perfect temporary tenant!

And, you said you've talked to him right? And he really is low-key? That's great if so. Should be very low-drama! Hopefully, you won't even know he's there!
Thanks for this!
