How to use tenant in a sentence?

1. Ralf Dommermuth:

   There's a difference between being a tenant and an owner, if I'm a tenant, then I pay rent every month. If I'm an owner, then I must invest. If I invest, I can borrow but I also need to put in my own money.

2. Burkley Allen:

   In these discussions, the primary concern was the effect on the neighborhoods, the concern was largely about properties where the owner was not on-site to be affected by and accountable for tenant behavior.

3. Scott Nelson:

   It will be a tenant market.

4. State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman:

   The current real-estate boom ... is not like the real-estate booms we have seen before, it is not going down. This is the landlord-tenant equivalent of climate change.

5. Joseph Strasburg:

   With no requirement of proof that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected their income, and no income limitation to qualify for eviction protection, a tenant whose household income went from a half-million dollars to $250,000 would qualify for eviction protection by declaring that their income has been significantly reduced.
