There is no legal time limit that defines a guest versus a roomate.
There is no requirement for a background check, though a land owner may require one. Read your lease. If it prohibits unauthorized occupants, it may define how long a guest may stay before being considered an occupant. If not, it is whatever a court thinks, should it go that far. If the lease is silent as to addtional occupants, sub-leasing, etc., then the landlord cannot prevent you from having a sub-tenant, roomate, etc. |
