Royal Holloway Accommodation Visitors Policy?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows the actual policy for visitors when you have accommodation in the Founders Halls. I've looked online at the pdf file but it's not very clear.
Are you allowed to have visitors stay a night or two, and if so how does it work?

hey, i didn't stay in founders, i stayed in reid, and nobody checks. everyone gets a student ID card which gives you access to your accommodations -- if you use it to get access to your floor and someone's with you, no one will ask, they will just assume your friend lives in founders as well. so pretty much they can stay in your room as long and whenever they like.

So if there's a fire who knows to rescue two people .. most unis require visitors to be signed in for safety reasons.

You can be fined for not signing people in - don't be foolish!

i just checked the terms and conditions, there doesn't seem to be a maximum amount of days they can stay -- here is the sign in form:
