Occupier is defined in s4(4) to mean “the person who is entitled to occupy [the land] as owner or mortgagee in possession or under a lease, license or permit”.

 Apartment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An apartment (or flat) is a self-contained housing unit that occupies only part of a building.
In some parts of the world, the word apartment is used generally to refer to a new purpose-built self-contained residential unit in a building, whereas the word flat means a converted self-contained unit in an older building.
When part of a house is converted for the ostensible use of a landlord's family member, the unit may be known as an in-law apartment or granny flat, though these (sometimes illegally) created units are often occupied by ordinary renters rather than family members.

The general rule governing those cases is that the owner or occupier owes no duty to keep the public sidewalk free from natural accumulations of snow and ice.
