Boarder or lodger
If the landlord keeps overall control of the house, including your room, then you are likely to be a boarder or a lodger. The most typical situation is of course hostels and boarding houses, where you rent a room and can use common facilities but generally have no say in the overall running of the establishment. You might also be considered a boarder or lodger if you rent a room in an owner-occupied house, or in a place run by a head tenant who takes full responsibility for the house (for example providing furniture, paying all bills etc).
If you receive services from your landlord such as cleaning, washing or providing linen, this may mean you are a lodger. However, it is not necessary to receive these services to be classified as a lodger.
If your landlord provides meals, you would be classified as a boarder with the same rights (or lack of them) as a lodger.
Boarders and lodgers are not covered by the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) and have virtually no protection under the law. For example, they can be evicted with very little notice and do not have the right to apply to the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal to protect their housing. However, though boarders and lodgers are specifically excluded from the Residential Tenancies Act, the Act does not actually define what a boarder or a lodger is. Consequently, some residents of boarding houses and share houses have been able to establish before the Tribunal they were tenants and gain the protection of the RTA. If you are unsure of your tenancy status please contact your local tenancy service (See Contact Points).
