occupant

Read a random definition: shakeout

A quick definition of occupant:

An occupant is someone who lives in or uses a place like a house or apartment. They can be the owner or a tenant, but they don't have to be. Sometimes people live in a place without permission, and they are called unauthorized occupants. If someone is an unauthorized occupant, the owner can make them leave.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An occupant is a person who lives in or uses a property, whether as a tenant or owner. They may have legal permission to be there, or they may be there without permission.

For example, a tenant who rents an apartment is an occupant with legal permission to live there. However, if someone else moves in without the landlord's permission, they are an unauthorized occupant and can be evicted.

Another example of an unauthorized occupant is a holdover tenant. This is someone who stays in a property after their lease has ended without renewing it or moving out. They are not legally allowed to be there and can be evicted.

These examples illustrate how an occupant can be either authorized or unauthorized, and how unauthorized occupants can be removed from a property.

"Blueberry is normally the mature and smartest girl in the group. She is knowledgeable about almost everything. She spends so much time with books that she always knows exactly what others need, or where the specific topic they need will be located in her bookstore, Blueberry Books. She is a whole lot of knowledge and very well-mannered, which can confuse her friends since they struggle to understand her in some way. With her acute wit and flair for more than just average knowledge, Blueberry is a genius when it comes to organization, making plans, maps, and schedules, as long as it is not overly sophisticated." blueberry is autistic, confirmed

Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.
For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.
