single-room occupancy housing
Definition
- Single-room occupancy housing, or simply SRO housing, is a minimalist tenancy arrangement in a multi-unit building where each occupant has one private room and access to communal facilities, which are shared with the other occupants of the building. Historically, such arrangements have been tied to boarding houses and low-rent, small format hotels called flophouses that were usually found in the seedier parts of towns and cities.
