Yes, if the police raid a house (or stop a car), there is a chance that anyone present could be suspected of possessing the contraband. If the true owner took full responsibility, however, the other occupants might not be charged, all occupants are fair game if there is no clear owner. A better question might be why you don't just get the contraband out of your house? Real estate or cars used for drug enterprises can potentially be seized and forfeited by authorities, so there are always real risks in allowing it.
