I have searched the web almost all night looking for the law on this without any luck. Hopefully someone here can help me.

I'm in California. I received a letter from my cousin who is in prison. He asked if he could parole to my house. We've always been very close and I would love to help him. I asked him if my house would be subject to searches, because I know he will have no search and seizure rights as a parolee. He told me if he has his own room with a lock on the door, his room would be the only room they could search. I have nothing illegal in my home so I'm not concerned about that, but I know what the police do when they search a house. They destroy it, break things, sometimes intentionally, with no regard or respect to you or your property. I also know here in California they sometimes have probation/parole searches where they make sweeps of several cities at a time. And that his parole officer will be dropping by from time to time. So my question here is this, do I too lose my search and seizure rights because a parolee is living in my house? I suppose I could tolerate them searching his room, but I can't allow my cousin to stay with me if my whole house is subject to searches. I would greatly appreciate anyone's help who knows the law on this matter. I'm suppose to give him an answer on this a.s.a.p.

Sincerely,
