If she is a good friend/relative (single adult)
(and you have a separate bedroom for her)

A month, maybe two.
We've talked about hosting my sister for a year or so, if she needed it, and even looked into turning the playroom into a bedroom for her (as in buying a closet, rearranging furniture, etc.). Not sure we would do that for a friend, though.
However we would expect either compensation or help with the kids/ chores and maybe occasional babysitting if it were more than a week or two.

2 - 3 weeks.
ETA- 2 - 3 weeks, in the midst of my house. Longer if there are breaks, or if they're staying in a separate apartment

Depends upon the physical set up and the relationship and reason.

This. Too many factors to give a blanket answer.

Depends on who it is and how much space I have.
In my current 2 bedroom apt, 4 days is pushing it.
In a larger house, depends on how needy vs helpful the person is. How much I can stand their personality. How much having them changes my routines.

Well, you should also tell us how many bedrooms/ bathrooms you have. Also if your husband really doesnโt want then it doesnโt matter what other people might do.

Bh we recently finished our basement and put in a small bedroom and bathroom. Makes having company so much easier! But there are still very few people I would want to have for more than a few days at a time. My DH wouldn't care as he is not home during week much so wouldn't really affect him.

It depends on alot on the guest. My sister lived with us for about 6 months, because she got a great job in Lakewood that made sense for her. She got engaged shortly after that, and lived with us till she got married.
It worked out well because she's a very socially smart person. She knew how to keep out of the way when we needed private family time. She usually went home for Shabbos. She had an active social life that kept her busy. And she isn't a needy person, she's fun and happy to have around.
There are some guests I wouldn't host for more than a Shabbos....truth is that generally I avoid hosting during the week. I work and don't really have the time to be a hostess. I once hosted relatives from abroad and I found it very draining, they kept needing things and I wasn't able to keep up my work schedule. I don't do that anymore.

Ben Franklin is credited with saying that fish and houseguests stink after three days.
