Multiple Choice

Live-in aides are not tenants and must leave if they no longer serve in that role. This describes which scenario?

Live-in aides have a role-based occupancy: they live with the resident to provide needed assistance, but they are not tenants. When the aide is no longer performing that role, their status as a live-in aide ends. They may remain in the dwelling, but not as a live-in aide or as a tenant. That’s why this scenario fits: the person can stay, but is no longer considered a live-in aide. The arrangement no longer grants the live-in aide status or tenancy rights; the housing policy would determine any further occupancy rules.
