Extended-stay lodging occupies a legal grey zone that matters enormously to the people in it: a guest staying weeks or months may be functionally a tenant while contractually a hotel guest, and in several states that distinction decides whether they can be removed by a landlord-tenant proceeding or simply escorted out. The data reflects the ambiguity too — length of residence, mail received, vehicles registered — a tenancy record held under a hotel's terms. The customer base skews toward people in housing transition, which is exactly the population least able to litigate the difference.

Data sharing
Extended-stay guests frequently reside for weeks or months, which produces a materially different data profile from a transient hotel stay — closer to a tenancy record, including length of residence and, in practice, an address used for mail and identification.
Fees and billing
Weekly rate structures; extended-stay properties sit in a regulatory grey zone between hotel and residential tenancy in several states, which affects eviction rights.
