habitation

Read a random definition: front-foot rule

A quick definition of habitation:

Definition: Habitation means living in a place. It can refer to the act of living somewhere or the place where someone lives. It can also be a legal right to live in someone else's house, but this right cannot be given to someone else or inherited by someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Habitation refers to the act of living in a place or occupying it. It can also refer to a dwelling place or a home.

For example, when someone moves into a new apartment, they are beginning their habitation of that space. Similarly, a family's house is their habitation.

In civil law, habitation can also refer to a nontransferable and nonheritable right to live in someone else's house. This is different from ownership or a lease, as the right to habitation cannot be sold or passed down to heirs.

Example: In Louisiana, the Civil Code recognizes the right to habitation in Article 630. This means that someone may have the right to live in a house owned by another person, but they do not have ownership or a leasehold interest in the property.

Overall, habitation refers to the act of living in a place or the place where someone lives. It can also have specific legal meanings related to the right to live in someone else's property.
