My friend moved into a rent controlled studio 3 years ago. After 1 year, he decided to travel around the world and I moved in. He still has all of his things (clothes, computer, books) and his DMV address, bank, business are registered to this address. he occasionally comes back for 1-2 months and sometimes I move out or we live here together. I have my ID, etc. registered to this address. I am not on the lease, but I mostly pay the rent (except for the times when he moves back in). I will have a guest coming for 2 months and my friend is telling me that the landlord may evict him for having people who are not on the lease in the apartment. I don't want to create any trouble for him, so I would appreciate if anyone can point me where to look for answers. I don't want to do anything illegal or create any trouble for my friend.

You need a copy of your friend's original lease, and see what restriction (if any) there are on subletting. It sounds like there is if he is worried about getting evicted.

If you pay rent directly to the landlord (and they know you are residing there), it gets more complicated. You might want to consult the following:
