Instead, it is provided that he must live in a "domestic establishment of two or more rooms in which the occupants usually sleep and prepare and serve meals." This means that the legal tenant oi the future must not only sleep in his own quirters, but must eat there. There are numerous cases in which single persons, either individually or in groups, occupy rooms and cook their own meals in them. They will gain the franchise. Similarly, there are many couples sub-letting rooms from their parent: who will lose the same right because they take their meals with the old people.
