I am translating a rental agreement for a company that is renting a building. Is the company also called a "tenant" of the building?
 
Jack is right for the most part, although if you must use the word "tenant" i think it would be safe to say that yes, the company is a tenant of the building since they are the renters and not the owners. if you are still not sure, though, you can also use the word occupant to be more on the safe side. i think i would use the word tenant to more accurately represent the role of the company renting the building. an occupant can be anything from a tenant to people allowed by the tenant or owner(s) to use the building. "occupant" implies that they are there and that they use the building. "tenant" states that they are the renters of that building :-)
