I'm not a lawyer, but I don't know that such a categorization exists in US law. If you pay money to live somewhere for a short period, you generally fall under hotel regulations. If you pay money to live somewhere for a longer period, you're a tenant. Generally 30 days is the max for "short" period.

There isn't a "sure, you live here, but you don't have rights" designation because historically such designations were abused.
