If they come to search your home and the lease is in your name they have to present a warrant to you then there is not a nook or cranny where they are not allowed to go they can look and go any where they like ,The warrant will tell you what they are looking for .saying that though there are categories in that house they call it common ground ,common ground is great at times especially if you have frequent visitors or guests that stay over night ,the common ground in all houses are lounge room ,kitchen ,bathroom ,veranda's , back and front yards ,the only place that is not common ground is your bedroom and on suite so you never ever leave anything in that area common ground is the place for any questinable items , use your initiative to work it out .
The other thing is if they come to search your house and you reside with your parents or Friend , relatives etc then it changes again they have to present the warrant but they can only search the bedroom that you sleep in as you are not the owner or you are not the lease holder.

Can the police search your house if they hear shooting in your backyard?
If the police have probable cause to believe that a crime is being committed, they can search a house without a warrant. There are too many variables for a short answer. The short answer is you can tell the police they are not allowed to search your house. Be sure you record it if you can, but DO NOT resist. If they continue to search the house you can pursue legal remedies such as a law suit or, trying to have evidence thrown out should the police uncover something due to an illegal search.
