I'm really curious if there is a difference legally between giving the entire apartment to a guest for a week and letting the guest sleep in a spare bedroom.

- tptacek 14y agoIf you read carefully, a lot of leases have specific clauses about guests too. There are limits in different jurisdictions about how enforceable some of these clauses are. But subletting contracts tend to hold up.
- malandrew 14y agoCan you loophole around it by renting out someone else's apt and having them rent out yours on a quid pro quo basis? This means that the person staying in your home is not a friend of a friend and no longer a customer. It ceases to be a sublet, and is now you housing a friend's friend. Intent is there. But it gets you off the hook for breaking the contract. It instead puts you on the hook for inducing someone else to break a contract, which is a harder case to prove.
- noahc 14y agoMy roommate actually had an issue with this. He had a friend from out of town stay with us for a week or so without notification of the landlord. The terms of the lease were notification of overnight guests, and they couldn't stay longer than a week without written approval.
