occupier

Definition 1

Position: Person performing the duties of a position, and enjoying the benefits and salary that go with it. If a current occupier is not the substantive occupier (or owner) of the position, he or she is 'acting' in that position.

Definition 2

Property: Party that takes possession of a dwelling, piece of land, or premises as owner, tenant, or trespasser. A trespasser-occupier may become a lawful tenant if the owner accepts the rent offered, or an owner by adverse possession. Often used as an alternative term for occupant.
