A: Sorry, but this question is so heavily "fact-dependent" that any kind of answer in this format would be unreliable.

"Consent" from the owner of the property is probably sufficient- unless there is a lease agreement or other facts showing that the owner has surrendered control of the premises to the current occupants.
