During my travels, I discovered a few free houses. Now, we all know that it takes 1 month in-game for the containers to be re-stocked/respawned, thus emptying out our stored things and respawn enemies in some locations. But there's one place I like called Alchemist's Shack near Ivarstead town, Haemar's Shame cavern, and the Throat of the World mountain. There's no bandits living in that shack and no one owns the items in the shack (the original alchemist never returned, meaning either deceased or moved away,) meaning you can live there. So if you want to live there, all you have to do is keep track of the time you live there for a month and once you reach near end of the month, just remove your items and allow the time to pass and then put the items back in. You also get more respawned stuff from inside the containers after the month passes. You do it once every month, just like in real life you have to clean and organize stuff once a while. I'm also an Alchemist, so it's a nice place to do alchemy work, harvest re-grown plants, and relax with the beautiful scenery outside.
