テナント

てなんと

noun

tenant; shop occupying rented space

1. tenant; shop or business renting space in a building

A shop, restaurant, or business that rents space within a larger building such as a department store, shopping mall, or office building. From English 'tenant.' In Japanese, this word emphasizes the commercial tenant rather than residential renters.

このビルにはテナントが十(じゅう)店舗(てんぽ)入(はい)っている。

This building has ten tenant shops.

一階(いっかい)のテナントが撤退(てったい)した。

The first-floor tenant has moved out.

駅前(えきまえ)のビルでテナントを募集(ぼしゅう)しているので、カフェを開(ひら)こうかと考(かんが)えている。

They're looking for tenants in the building in front of the station, so I'm thinking of opening a café.

From English 'tenant,' but in Japanese the word primarily refers to commercial tenants — shops and businesses that rent space in a larger building. Residential renters are typically called 借(か)り主(ぬし) or 入居者(にゅうきょしゃ), not テナント.
