Empty, Abandoned or Incomplete Building

An incomplete building does not constitute a dwelling.[3] However, an abandoned building however is one.[4]

A house which is not occupied can still retain its character as a dwelling-house.[5]

Certain types places will lose their dwelling-house status from non-use. A house may be abandoned for a period of time, dilapidated, boarded-up, and "not intending to be live[d] in ...again" rendering it a non-dwelling.[6]

A "dwelling-house" for the purpose of a conviction under s. 348 for a break and enter will not include a building under construction that has not been occupied as a residence.[7]

Garage or Driveway

A driveway is not a dwelling house; it is a place where people drive and park their vehicles.[8]

A garage or parkade under the residential building is also a dwelling-house.[9]

Hotel or Motel

A motel room,[10] camp,[11] can be a dwelling.

Moveable Shelters

Living in a truck does not render the vehicle a dwelling house.[12]

Curtilage

"Curtilage" in US law is meant to "include all buildings in close proximity to a dwelling, which are continually used for carrying on domestic employment; or such place as is necessary and convenient to a dwelling and is habitually used for family purposes."[13]

The meaning of curtilage has been defined in domestic courts as "the land or yard adjoining a house, usually within an enclosure."[14]
