I would definitely get court approval unless the POA has an alternate POA, then the current POA could decline to act with regard to the particular transaction, i.e., negotiation and execution of room and board agreement, and the alternate POA could sign the agreement.

Acquaintance is moving into a larger home, which has extra room, and would like to move her stepfather in so he can be in closer contact with the family. She plans to charge him rent, but is nervous about doing so, because she would be writing the rent checks to herself.
