There is not such thing as a "resident guest," as guests do not reside at the premises. The clause is intended to reinforce the fact that only the leased occupants may receive mail and live at the premises.

I see what he means, if you have a non-resident guest, then a resident guest must also exist. It is confusing to understand.

Yes, that could be the implication but not the intention. The lease agreement clearly defines the tenant and residents and occupants. Tenants, however, sometimes create new definitions to suit their needs and circumstances. The clause was intended to address all unauthorized tenant occupants, whether "resident guests" (authorized temporary visitors), "non-resident guests" or "permanent guests" (unauthorized long-term visitors), or whatever new breed of unauthorized tenant undisclosed to the property owner. The clause was not meant to interfere with the tenant's normal course of living, but when life events change tenants do not always request landlord permission to modify the lease agreement. The is meant to be a deterrent. To open up a dialog between landlord and tenant. To discuss the best methods to manage new circumstances. Not meant to deal with intentional unauthorized tenants or the eviction processes.

No...any guest is a non-resident.

Not totally true, because tenants sometimes invite their "guests" to permanently reside at the premises, and that it the point of the clause. While not legitimate authorized residents, the "guests" become unauthorized residents without the knowledge of the landlord.
