Rooming houses
A rooming house is a building or apartment with one or more rooms available to rent, where at least 4 people (officially called residents) can live. Rooming houses are different to other share-houses as the rooming house operator decides who lives at the property and usually has individual agreements with each resident, including individual arrangements for paying rent.
You are considered to be a rooming house resident if you rent a room, or shared room, in a property like this.
You are also considered to be a rooming house resident if you have been living at a hotel or motel, as your main or only home, for at least 60 continuous days.
