In theory the tenant is supposed to tell the LL about new people, family or occupants if they will be there 30 days or longer. In reality, the LL asks and the tenant responds. So wait for the LL to say something, and then put him off until it's over. There's nothing that says you need to respond within x days.
You can just say - if you are backing into a corner - you had a "guest over the holidays," and leave the rest ambiguous. The ONLY information the LL is entitled to, and only if he presses for it, is the name of the person. You don't need to give the LL any other information, i.e., the nature of the relationship, how long the stay was, and so on.
And in the meantime, you might want to see if the unit should be under rent stabilization.
