    17  ual resident at the address of the primary residence referred to in this
    18  subdivision, and which is not used in carrying on any trade, business or
    19  commercial activity; and the term "lease for a term of one year or more"
    20  shall  not  include  any  lease the term of which is less than one year,
    21  irrespective of the fact that the cumulative period for which such lease
    22  may be in effect is one year or more as the result of the right to exer-
    23  cise an option to renew or other like provision.
