flop house

normally it is an apartment where many drug abusers stay to sleep and abuse drugs. some of these people pay rent, while others are unemployed and do nothing with their lives except party and abuse drugs.
nah man, this is a flop house
any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. in order to “crash”, one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

a flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad’s house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.
