All jurisdictions that I am aware of, have ordnances and statutes governing this activity, including Health Department regulations and zoning and property usage. The property owner would have to make sure they are in compliance with all these items before proceeding.

That depends on where you live. In Az. the lease states that if any guest stays for over 5 days, he must add his/her name to the lease. Then it is up the landlord to either raise the rent or leave it the same. If YOU rent the room out, that is subletting and there is usually a clause in your lease forbidding it.

The simplest answer is 'yes' but generally, it depends.

Owners very often hire a property manager.

They are the one who rents out the house.

They don't own it but they are the authorized agent.

Another case is where you have a lease but you are allowed to sub-lease.

If you don't have any of these authorizations from the owner, then it's looking like you can't rent it out.

How does a rent to own for a house work?

It's pretty risky. When you move into a rent-to-own house, you generally pay an "option fee" of 1-2% of the house price. Then, if you rent the house for the term, you get the option to own it. Be aware, however that if you leave the house or violate the lease, you lose your option fee and the time invested, leaving you with no equity.

In the case of a car, yes you can. Most car lots will allow you to rent to own a vehicle. In the case of a house, it depends on where you live. Most places do not offer a rent-to-own option. You either rent, or you own. However, things may be different in your area. Talk to a real estate agent.
