Allusion על שבת 45:3
Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim
3. A woman lights the Hanukkah light, for she is also obligated in it, but if a deaf-mute, an incompetent or a minor kindled it he has accomplished nothing, even if an adult placed it. There is [an opinion] that says that for a minor who has reached the age of education it is permitted. Rem"a: For us, that every one of the household members each kindles, a minor who has reached the age of education needs to kindle as well.

Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim
1. A lodger for whom no-one is kindling in his own house needs to give a perutah [i.e. a nominal sum] to the landlord to partner with him in the oil of the Hanukkah light. And if he has his own entrance, he needs to light in his entrance, even though that residence is only designated for sleeping, and he eats at the landlord's table. And it is the same law for a son who eats with his father. Rem"a: And there are those that say that nowadays when we kindle actually inside, one should kindle at the place where one eats, and so [people] have made it a custom. (Responsa of Rashba Section 542)
