Homestay and Rooming

Homestay is boarding with the owner of the house and sometimes their family.

Rooming is where you rent a room in a privately owned building that has one or more rooms available for rent to four or more people and you share common facilities. This is different to share-housing where you jointly rent a private house with others.
