Wondering if is a family member considered a tenant? If you allow your elderly parent, adult child, sibling, or any relative to live in your property free of charge, they are considered an occupant. Sometimes, a tenant shoulders all obligations but doesn’t take up residence in your property; instead, it’s their family member who lives there.

  • In simple language, a relative who resides on your property but doesn't pay rent is regarded as an occupier, not a renter. 

  • A tenant is someone who has a formal lease agreement with the landlord, entitling them to occupy and use the rental property. They pay rent and have specific rights and responsibilities. 

  • An occupant, on the other hand, lives in the property but doesn’t necessarily have a lease or financial obligations. 

  • Occupants can include family members or guests of the tenant.

I hope this helps you.
