A lessee is also a possibility, it\'s synonymous with \'tenant\', a little more official :-)

neutral  Emily Justice: A lodger is someone who rents say just one room in someone's house. The owner of the house continues to live there themselves. It is a way for the owner to get a little bit of extra money, without having to rent out their whole house.

Explanation:
Definition of Lessee as per Black's Law Dictionary:

Lessee is one who has a possessory interest in real or personal Property under a lease; TENANT.

Definition of Tenant (same source):

One who holds or possesses lands or tenements by any kind of right or title.

Not much difference, but Tenant is used more widely in your context - как квартиросъемщик.

Во всяком случае, словарь приводит именно для Tenant, а не для Lessee, такие выражения как:

Tenant in chief
Prime Tenant
etc.

Спросила у мужа (адвокат с почти 30-летним стажем).

Он сказал так:

Если человек снимает квартиру \"месяц за месяцем\", т.е. оплачивает помесячно и в любой момент может съехать, с месячным предупреждением - это Tenant.

Если Вы заключаете долгосрочный контракт об аренде жилья - это Lessee.
