An agreement for barter for services is a form of rent. In the scenario above your neighbor was a landlord and the person in the Ohana was a tenant.
The law treats tenants and squatters differently. If somebody doesn't pay their rent, or perform the barter, they have tenant rights. You can't get caught evicting them with a shotgun.
ETA: You can still invite strangers to stay in your home. So long as there is no expectation of compensation (money or barter) they will be squatters when they are asked to leave, not tenants. (aka, you can be holding a shotgun when you "ask" them to leave (J/K?)).
