Answer:
The local land use zoning ordinances will govern the precise definition in any given area. Often, an apartment dwelling is defined according to the number of dwelling units and occupants. A tenant/landlord relationship is typically present between the owner and occupant. I suggest calling the local building department or land use commission for information on the exact definition in your area.
