Residents are people who live at the property or communities.
They re-site on the location.

Tenants do not. This word is used for Commercial Estate Business Parks and buildings.
We have Tenant who lease Offices, suites, and warehouses from us and do not live there.

See the difference?

I say resident, and neighborhood rather than complex.
"home" instead of unit.

Actually 2 different legal terms that differentiate between a person who lives in a residence and a person who rented a residence.

Adam Wilkins I know when I was a "vendor" that I thought it sounded ridiculous. Other industries I'd worked in didn't refer to them as that.
