Question

I could easily say "Currently, there are six people living in that manor", but how do I turn it into passive sentence so that the manor becomes the subject?

I was trying to make a sentence about a group of five people renting an apartment house together.

Answer 1

"That manor is lived in by six people"

If you're not happy with that, use a transitive verb such as "occupy" or "inhabit".

Answer 3
