if someone living with me gets in trouble, can the cops search my house?

i have someone living with me and my wife who is in trouble with the law. i have my setup in a locked closet in my room in the very back of my apartment. she sleeps on teh couch on the living room and has all her clothes and stuff in the guest bathroom.
if the cops had a warrant or something for her, would they go to my room and my closet and search, or just her living space? my apartment is kinda long and narrow, sorta like a trailer, and my room and stuff is at the very end of it.
also, if i let them in to look around at her stuff and they wanna see my room and they notice taht my closet has a keyed entry, what can i say to shut them up? "my wife and i have an extensive erotic toy collection in there"?

do you have separate leases just for your room?

im only guessing but id say they can only search the alleged offenders room but if its a drug related warrant they might use sniffer dogs and they might point your closet out,then they might have grounds to search your rooms check this site,it has some tips on dealing with the law www.fuck5o.com/

its my place, and shes just staying there, so the lease is all mine. also, i dont think they train drug dogs to sniff mushrooms since legal and illegal mushrooms would smell the same.
im checking out that website right now. thanks.

If you were to rent a room out to her, then the room she inhabits is legally considered a separate residence, unless there is reason to consider it otherwise.
This is from the mouth of a cop, mind you.
The room of a renter cannot be searched with a warrant for the rest of the house, there needs to be a warrant for that room or a stipulation on the warrant that their room be searched as well. I would imagine the inverse would be true, where they would search only the renter's room.
Then again, I could easily be wrong.

Hrm... well I don't think you could in an apartment. Even if it is possible, it must be pretty damn complicated.

Closest thing I can think of is a sublease agreement, but that is usually in a case where you'd be leaving and want to rent it to whoever. This would also depend on what was stated in YOUR rental agreement.
I'm sure you could draw up some sort of agreement, but it would be best to get some advice from a lawyer. Call some up that do free consultations or whatever.

if she's living in your residence, and the cops know it, it will be as easy for them to get a search warrant for your residence as it would be if it were hers.
if they come with an arrest warrant for her, you should be fine. if they show up with a search warrant, you're gonna have problems.

They would likely just show up with an arrest warrant and leave with her.
Tell her not to hide in the closet.

If she isn't on the lease, and she's just staying there for an undetermined amount of time, how can they get a warrant for your home?

ya never know. shes not runnign from the cops, but she was involved in an incident where people died. the cops let her go, but ya know how that crap works out. i did the research. getting busted growing shrooms means a lot of jail time. and i have such pretty lips lol
