FAQ
Guests must stay for a limited amount of time. Most landlords allow guests to stay for a maximum of 10-14 days in a six-month period. If a guest stays longer than this, they may be considered a tenant and the landlord may be able to evict the tenant.
30-Day or 60-Day Notice: For month-to-month agreements, provide a 30-day notice if they've lived in the property for less than a year, or a 60-day notice if they've stayed longer. Notice to Vacate for Unlisted Occupants: For roommates not on the lease, use a general notice to vacate as the first step.
In general, California law permits tenants to have guests. That's because tenants can treat rentals like their own homes. A tenant doesn't need to seek a landlord's permission to invite guests over.
Technically, you can live in an apartment without being on the lease. But normally the lease specifies that only people listed in the lease may live in the apartment, so the person on the lease agreement may get in trouble because of an unauthorized tenant. Not all apartment buildings look at the credit reports.

Right to Habitability Tenants are entitled to a “warranty of habitability.” This legal doctrine requires landlords to provide a living space that is safe, healthy, and in good repair. Even without a lease, landlords must ensure: Functioning plumbing and electrical systems. Adequate heat and water.
Additionally, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) uses what is known as the “two plus one” formula, which permits two (2) people to occupy each bedroom, with one (1) additional person in the living spaces (i.e., five (5) people may reside in a two bedroom unit).
Any guest who stays at the property for more than 2 weeks within a 6 month period could be considered a tenant and must be added to the lease agreement.
