Wikipedia

  1. boardinghouse

    A boarding house is a house (frequently a family home) in which lodgers rent one or more rooms on a nightly basis, and sometimes for extended periods of weeks, months, and years. The common parts of the house are maintained, and some services, such as laundry and cleaning, may be supplied. They normally provide "room and board," that is, some meals as well as accommodation. Lodgers legally only obtain a licence to use their rooms, and not exclusive possession, so the landlord retains the right of access.
