One or several demons can dwell in someone

Biblical evidence suggests that one or several demons can GO IN someone and DWELL there. 

It's possible for them to also COME OUT later.

Biblical evidence

One or several demons can GO IN someone and DWELL there:

For example, Jesus said: "when the unclean spirit departs from the person, it-goes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find (it). Then it-says, ‘I-will-return to my house from-where I-CAME-OUT’. And having-come, it-finds (it) being-unoccupied, having-been-swept and put-in-order. Then it-proceeds and takes-along with itself SEVEN OTHER SPIRITS more-evil (than) itself. And HAVING-GONE-IN, THEY-DWELL there, and the last (state of) that person becomes worse (than) the first" (Matthew 12:43-45).

A demon can be IN someone:

For example: "the man IN whom was the evil spirit" (Acts 19:16).

One or several demons can ENTER INTO someone and also COME OUT later:

For example: there was a man "HAVING DEMONS" (Luke 8:27), "because MANY DEMONS ENTERED INTO him" (Luke 8:30). Later, "the DEMONS, HAVING-COME-OUT from the man, entered into the pigs" (Luke 8:33).

Another example: there was a "son HAVING (a) mute spirit" (Mark 9:17). Jesus "rebuked the unclean spirit, saying (to) it “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you — COME OUT of him and ENTER INTO him no-longer”. And having-cried-out, and having-convulsed (him) greatly, it CAME OUT." (Mark 9:25-26).
