usually the temporary stays are not something i would put in address history, basically if you had been moving to different places and have those addresses on record lets say "Drivers License " and such then in that case you would/are suppose to put in address history ,obviously cuz there is a proof that you had been living at that place/places .

I am unsure what's right but what I have done is:

If I am leasing my apartment, but visiting family, I have written my apartment address.
If I left my apartment(lease ended) and stayed with friend/family/hotel, I have written that address.

I guess your choice but I believe the more accurate account we provide the better...

Did u have ownership (permanent or temporary (lease)) to your own place? If yes, you can write you own address but if you left your place and moved in with you dad even for few days, I would write your dad's address. This is the strategy I followed....you can explain this in LOE

So that basically means to write everything

That's what I did.....

I never saw anyone getting rejected because of address history....so your choice. IMO it helps satisfy them.

Worst case: If they are not satisfied, they will ask for schedule A in which you will have to redo the address history

I liked the advice given here:

Just realized: you have PCC for wherever you dad lives? Also, some PCCs have address listed on them.
Just want to make sure that my idea of listing all addresses does not create any trouble. Please double check.
