I agree with amicus curiae Minnesota Multi House Association that continuous physical presence in the dwelling is not necessary — • even physical access or control, such as being provided with a key, or being allowed to enter the dwelling to deposit belongings, is sufficient to satisfy the plain meaning of "occupying.” But that did not occur here. Cocchiar-ella was never given a key, never entered the dwelling; and never deposited belongings; her only connection to the dwelling was the oral lease agreement, which did not include an effective date.
