Industry and type of residential accommodation
the agricultural term

Lodging refers to the use of a short term dwelling, usually by renting the living space or sometimes through some other arrangement. People who travel and stay away from home for more than a day need lodging for sleep, rest, food, safety, shelter from cold temperatures or rain, storage of luggage and access to common household functions. Lodging is a form of the sharing economy. Lodging is done in a hotel, motel, hostel, or inn, a private home (commercial, i. e. a bed and breakfast, a guest house, a vacation rental, or non commercially, as in certain homestays or the home of friends), in a tent, caravan/campervan (often on a campsite). Lodgings may be self catering, whereby no food is provided, but cooking facilities are available. Lodging is offered by an owner of real property or a leasehold estate, including the hotel industry, hospitality industry, real estate investment trusts, and owner occupancy houses. Lodging can be facilitated by an intermediary such as a travel website.

Regulation of short term rentals can include requirements for hosts to have business licenses, payment of hotel taxes and compliance with building, city and zoning standards. The hotel industry has lobbied for stricter regulations on short term home rental and in addition to government imposed restrictions, many homeowner associations also limit short term rentals.
