Multiple courts have opined on the topic, and have all come to the same conclusion, that it would take more than simply providing a rental home to someone in order to classify as harboring them. 

Like perhaps the zoning issue (the lot was actually downzoned after the building was constructed,  it isn't even technically legal for number of units present right now) could be gotten around if the new unit was classified as an ADU.Thanks
