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.{{cite web | title=Lodging | url=http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lodging | publisher=Free Dictionary}} 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, a vacation rental, or non-commercially, as in certain homestays 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 trusts, and owner-occupancy houses.

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

Regulations by jurisdiction

Regulation of short-term rentals can include requirements for hosts to have business licenses, payment of hotel taxes and compliance with building, city and zoning standards. The hotel industry has lobbied for stricter regulations on short-term home rental{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/16/technology/inside-the-hotel-industrys-plan-to-combat-airbnb.html | title=Inside the Hotel Industry's Plan to Combat Airbnb | first=Katie | last=Benner | work=The New York Times | date=April 16, 2017 | url-access=limited}} and in addition to government-imposed restrictions, many homeowner associations also limit short term rentals.{{Cite news | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/where-we-live/wp/2016/09/07/how-your-neighbors-airbnb-rental-can-affect-your-property-values/ | title=How your neighbor's Airbnb rental can affect your property values | first1=Ilyse | last1=Glick | first2=Samuel J. | last2=Talkin | work=The Washington Post | date=September 7, 2016 | url-access=subscription}}
