I would check your lease. Personally, this sounds like something that probably wouldn't be allowed, but I'm not positive. It's hard to tell if you're actually planning to add a wall in the living room to close it off, in which case that's definitely not allowed without the owner's permission. (and probably city permits)
If you're planning on putting a futon in the living room and charging someone to sleep on it that might be different.
