In legal terms, a tenant is defined as a person granted a temporary exclusive use of a property in exchange for rent. A guest is defined as a person welcomed onto a tenant's property with the intent of visiting for a specified amount of time. In addition to the legal definitions, if a question arises as to whether a person staying at a property is a guest or a tenant, a court of law takes several factors into account.
