When does a 'transient'guest become a tenant?

My roommate's lease states only transient guests and otherwise she needs landlord's (me) permission. We had a mediator and I thought we had this cleared up and I agreed not to complain about him being here on weekends every other week. Well, we had break and now we're back to Thursday-Monday morning EVERY week and ALL week if there's any type of holiday. At what point does this actually violate the lease in the state of IN?

BTW, her lease states that she has to pay an equal share of utilities. Can I hold her responsible for more than half since he's here so much?

It all depends on the Lease. If you have a clause in the lease that specifies additional charges for additional occupants, then yes you can.
