One who occupies a house
A person who, under a lease, occupies every room in the house except one, which is reserved for his landlord, who pays all the taxes, is not a housekeeper; 1 Chitty, Bail. 502. Nor is a person a housekeeper who takes a house which he afterwards underlets, where the undertenant paid the taxes, and let to the tenant the first floor of the house, and the rent was paid for the whole house to the tenant, who paid it to the landlord; id. note. In order to make the party a housekeeper, he must be in actual possession of the house; 1 Chitty, Bail. 288; and must occupy a whole house.
