house sitter
Explanation:
Nekem ez jutott az eszembe, csak nem voltam benne biztos, hogy ez a kifejezés hosszabb távra is használatos. De utánanéztem, és igen, használják több évre kiterjedően is.
A "house sitting" az, amit az illető végez, ő a "house sitter".

"Q: Do you get long term house sitting positions?
A:

Yes. The lengths of house sitting positions can be anything from 1 day to 3 years +. The general length of a house sit tends to fall between 1 week to 4 months but it's not uncommon for house sitting positions to be of longer length eg 6 - 12 months."

house sitter or sublet for free depending on the words of contract


Explanation:
A house sitter is someone staying short term, someone staying over for a week or so, and taking care of the house, pets, plants, etc. , often a family member or friend. Usually there is no written agreement, as to the obligations for either parties. However, the sublet for free has an (written) agreement, and may be long-term contract, where the person staying at the house will have certain obligations and restrictions for the benefit of living at the house for free.

Example sentence(s):
  • House sitter with great references available for two weeks in September.
  • Sublet needed in exchange for work. Will paint, build fence or other work.
