temporary lodging
Place between places
Temporary lodging is a place to stay for a short period—hotels, motels, inns, hostels, or vacation rentals.
The phrase appears most often in legal, tax, or administrative contexts distinguishing transient accommodations from permanent residences: The company reimburses employees for temporary lodging during business travel.
Tax rules treat temporary lodging differently from long-term housing.
