There's a difference between "residency" and "ownership." In order to have residency in a place, you have to reside in the place. If someone else owns the property, but you're the resident, and the owner doesn't live in the place, then the tenant has the residency, and the owner does not.
A resident, by definition, is someone who actually lives there. Residents don't have to be owners.
