An apprentice by definition was not paid. They were a young person who was learning a trade. They lived with a master craftsman as a member of the household. In exchange for their labor they were given training and supported as a member of the family. In some cases they may have been given a small cash allowance for incidentals, but they were not given a wage.

Once an apprentice had finished a number of years of study, often seven, they became a journeyman. A journeyman was paid a wage, and would often take up their own residence, but it was possible that a journeyman might live with his master, or rent space from him. Living space was at a premium in medieval cities, and a journeyman, particularly in a less affluent trade, might find himself renting a chamber or garret, and if the master had such space available it made sense to live close to work.
