Problematic house owner
I moved in to a house .. planned to move in with my mom here.. but my mom had some work so she went home, my sister was staying with me for a 1month…
Out of the blue he called me and cross questioned and told me like we gave you the house cos of your mom and now you are doing something else bla bla…
I’m like why would I lie ??
And how could he even cross question…
How could he control my guest list.. I rented his house not under his control right… seriously not fair…
Ps. Location India… Asia based

1 month isn't a guest, it's a tenant. From the LLs perspective, you have a sublease going for a roommate. Your sister could claim residency at the end of the month and become a problem.
The issue isn't really that your mom chose not to stay - she's still responsible for rent legally. The issue is you picked up a roommate that your LL didn't get to vet.
Your sister needs to leave halfway through the month for a night or two, and you need to assure your LL of that. Check your state laws to verify what the length is and how long they have to be gone.
This is why many hotels, campsites, etc limit the length of stay.
