Your accommodation is the place where you stay (note: the spelling is difficult - it is not "accomodation" - and there is no plural word "accommodations" in British English).

The landlord (or landlady) is the owner of your accommodation.
The money you pay to your landlord (usually weekly or monthly) is called rent.
You usually pay a deposit when you start renting; normally this money is returned to you when you leave unless you break or damage things or fail to pay the rent.
An inventory is a list of what is in the accommodation.

If breakfast and supper are provided it is called full board. If only breakfast is provided it is half board. If there are no meals provided it is self-catering.

If you live in a different building from the landlord you are known as a tenant. A tenancy agreement is a legal contract between you and your landlord. The notice period is the amount of time your landlord must give you if he/she wants you to leave the accommodation, or the amount of warning which you must give your landlord if you want to leave.

If you live in part of the same house as the landlord, you are a licensee. The contract is known as a licence agreement.
