Establishes distinction between residential tenant and other occupants of hotel or motel for purpose of determining permitted removal actions.

This bill establishes clear criteria to determine when a hotel or motel occupant qualifies as a "tenant" (entitled to residential eviction protections) rather than a "transient guest." It requires property owners to consider seven factors, such as staying three+ months, changing official addresses to the hotel, using it as a primary residence, or having kitchen facilities, before applying residential eviction rules. Exceptions include occupants receiving emergency housing assistance (who retain tenant status until benefits end) and those who refuse to provide registration details (who lose tenant status). The law codifies existing court practices to prevent hotels from bypassing tenant protections for long-term guests.
