A shareholder asked what was needed to allow a friend to stay with her in the apt for about 6 months-for work reasons. She then recinded her request because she stated that the visitor would/could gain standing and would be hard to get out after the term of her stay. Is this correct? What right does a Board/Corp have when someone other than the leaseholder (renter) or shareholder shares the unit without the knowledge of the Board or holder of unsold shsares?
As long as the shareholder lives in the unit during the roommate's stay, there is no need for board approval.
You can have a guest, family or roommate for as long as you wish.
As a courtesy, you might want to inform the super that a "new face" will be in the building for a while.

Look to your prop lease under the paragraph about subletting. That should have the info you need with regards to how long a visitor can stay before it is considered a sublet and in need of board approval. If memory serves, and I might be wrong, is usually a month max.
