The demand for temporary housing continues to increase, especially for those who migrate or have routines far from where they live. This research aims to evaluate the influence of variables such as responsiveness, competence, communication, credibility, security, understanding, and tangibles on customer satisfaction in boarding houses in Rungkut District, Surabaya City. The research subjects were boarding house resident in the area, with samples taken using a purposive sampling method for time and cost efficiency. Data was collected through a questionnaire using the Partial Least Square Strucutral Equation Model (PLS-SEM) method.
