'''Lodging''' refers to the use of a short-term [[dwelling]], usually by [[renting]] the living space or sometimes through some other arrangement. People who [[travel]] and stay away from [[home]] for more than a day need lodging for sleep, rest, food, safety, shelter from cold temperatures or rain, storage of luggage and access to common household functions.<ref>{{cite web | title=Lodging | url=http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lodging | publisher=Free Dictionary}}</ref> Lodging is a form of the [[sharing economy]].

Lodging is done in a [[hotel]], [[motel]], [[hostel]], or [[inn]], a private home (commercial, i.e. a [[bed and breakfast]], a [[guest house (lodging)|guest house]], a [[vacation rental]], or non-commercially, as in certain [[homestay]]s or the home of friends), in a tent, caravan/[[campervan]] (often on a [[campsite]]). Lodgings may be self-catering, whereby no food is provided, but cooking facilities are available.

Lodging is offered by an owner of [[real property]] or a [[leasehold estate]], including the [[hotel industry]], [[hospitality industry]], [[real estate investment trust]]s, and [[owner-occupancy]] houses.

Lodging can be facilitated by an intermediary such as a travel website.
