My lease has a sublet fee (2 weeks is guest by lease more than 2 weeks in a year is sublet) that is costly enough ($100/night per person which is about what a cheaper hotel is here) that makes sure tenants do not have others move-in without informing us.

Personally, I like to target 30% equity retention in each deal.- Section 8 income isn't guaranteed.
