room renter

Pays for accommodation

A room renter is someone who pays to occupy a room in a dwelling, typically sharing common spaces with the owner or other tenants.

The term emphasizes renting a room rather than an entire apartment or house: The room renter shares the kitchen with the homeowner.

Room renters often have fewer legal protections than traditional tenants.
