Re: consent to trespass
Without further information, if the renter is in possession, usually the answer would be "no," unless there are extenuating circumstances. These might include whether the visitor is a known drug dealer, convicted murderer, child molester, etc., or whether the visitor is known to make a lot of noise late at night.
Some leases require the tenant to notify the landlord if a guest is to stay more than a certain number of days, thereby incurring additional rent. But that still doesn't make the guest a trespasser.

Unless the visitor has some sort of legal restrictions from the property, the answer would be NO.
