Near some college campuses in the US there are apartment buildings with "by the bed" leases that fit this description. Generally these are two- to four-bedroom apartments, where each bedroom has a separate lease. These are generally marketed as being for students but are owned by private companies and could in theory be rented by anyone, although they have student-friendly policies like leases that line up with the academic year and shuttle buses to campus.
Wanting to add "Lodging". You may be a lodger rather than a boarder. Especially if you do not get meals (board). Strictly speaking lodgers do not have exclusive use, but their sleeping area is generally their own.

Co-living is the term you are looking for I think. This is a relatively new thing which is quite different to the house-share/flat-share some others have suggested.
If you search using that term you will find lots of links and you can judge for yourself whether they are what you are talking about.

In England they rent places like this in a ‘house of multiple occupancy’.
Shorter term use can be found in ‘apart hotels’. People stay there days to months.
And if you can still not find something look for ‘room mate’ or ‘house mate’ wanted. Micro apartment or bedsit.
Also known as a flatshare (or houseshare or share house or even homeshare or sharehome), where you share your flat with flatmates (or housemates or sharemates). In some countries they could also be roommates even if they each have their own room, though in others roommates actually share a room.
As this is most often used by students, this can sometimes be defined as "student accommodation" even if it’s open to anyone, though details may vary.
A more formal term is co-living, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard that in normal language.
Note that the most common term in use may vary depending on the country, so specifying that could help.

Single room occupancy seems to fit all of your criteria.
Be aware in most places in the USA this is seen as (and probably is) a very low low style of living. Most people don’t seek this out as an accommodation choice unless they have no other choice.
