Visiting soldier can't stay in wife's South Carolina apartment, landlord says http://t.co/FuctpnNPqu pic.twitter.com/ktRgL6Vnnc — KLTV 7 (@KLTV7) December 12, 2014

A soldier who recently returned to Central, S.C. to see his family came back to an unpleasant surprise: He was kicked out of his wife’s apartment after the landlord said he had overstayed the time allowed for visitors.

According to FOX Carolina, Sergeant William Bolt was returning home for the holidays to see his wife and newborn baby. Though he is stationed in Missouri, his wife and child reside in South Carolina.

Bolt told the station he hadn’t seen his family in six months. His wife gave birth two weeks ago. The landlord told Bolt visitors are not allowed to stay in the apartments past seven days, based on the agreement signed by Bolt’s wife, Lily.

Bolt’s name is not on the lease, and even though he is a visiting spouse, he was told to leave.

The landlord even threatened to press charges and double his wife’s rent if he stayed, the report adds.

The landlord told FOX Carolina he enforces the rule for all tenants in his building. According to Bolt, the landlord told him he “didn’t care” about the couple’s situation or that Bolt was in the military.
