Clearly, the obligations in this informal sharehouse setting are different from those of a standard lease.

here in NYC even if you let someone sleep on your sofa for 30 days informally/non written agreement, they have ALL the protections of any other renter or leasee. This is to protect people from being tossed out onto the street unfairly for whatever reason, from not liking the person to just wanting your sofa back.
