It’s not obvious that it’s the same house. House doesn’t necessarily equate building. People use house and home interchangeably, and in an apartment complex “house” can refer to a single apartment. Thus, when saying that it’s the same house they are saying that the same person owns those apartments. You might not agree with that definition of house, but that clearly what the OP is using.
Well, you suggested me household and since English is not my first language I thought that that was the correct word, but it isn’t.
House in Spanish for example can mean a building, or an apartment, and I thought it also did in English, but after searching for a bit, for building it can’t be used as apartment. In any case, in the way OP used the word it’s clear to me that they mean that all the windows are of the same owner/big apartment, instead of being apartments of separate owners. Have a nice day.
Plot twist: it’s the same house
Have you not heard of appartments before?
he probably has, but it could still be for 1 person
Right, but then “iT’s tHE SaME HoUSe” still isn’t a plot twist. It very obviously is the same house. The question is whether it’s the same tennant.

A house is a building. Do you by any chance mean household ?
It’s not what I mean, it’s what the OP meant, and yeah, they meant household when saying house but that was pretty apparent by the context.
They’re two different things though? They’re not synonyms…

(BTW, unless Cambridge is wrong house can also be used as household: (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/house: all the people living in a house)
