lodgers
They rent rooms
Lodgers are people who rent a room in someone else's home, typically paying for accommodation and sometimes meals.
The term implies a more informal arrangement than tenant—lodgers share living space with the property owner rather than occupying a separate unit: The old woman took in lodgers to supplement her pension.
Three lodgers shared the upstairs rooms.
