1. ““ ‘Transient occupancy’ is not defined in the Act. We are therefore required to determine its meaning in the context used. The Act is designed in some measure to provide protection to persons who rent premises to establish a residence. The critical factor is the intent of the occupier of the premises to establish a relatively permanent residence in the facilities designed for that purpose. In contrast transient occupancy of a hotel room lacks the intent to create a permanent living arrangement typical of a residence.” Lyons v. Kamhoot (1978), 281 Or. 615, 619 , 575 P.2d 1389, 1390-91 .”

2. ““[T]he courts have not agreed upon a precise length of stay which would distinguish a transient from a nontransient guest. The phrase was generally accepted as meaning short-term guests who stay from one day to a few weeks but who do not reside permanently in the establishment. In essence these establishments were characterized by temporary living arrangements not permanent residences.” Lyons, 281 Or. at 620 , 575 P.2d at 1391 .”
