homesharing
Splitting living space
Homesharing is renting out a room or entire residence, typically for short stays through platforms like Airbnb.
The term distinguishes casual peer-to-peer rentals from traditional hotels or long-term leases: Homesharing has transformed urban housing markets.
It can also refer to arrangements where unrelated people share a home to reduce costs, often pairing older homeowners with younger tenants.
