At the start of The Seven Crystal Balls, Tintin rings Marlinspike's door bell and asks Nestor if the Captain is in. This is not the sort of thing you do if you live there. At the start of Tintin and the Picaros, Tintin arrives at Marlinspike and Captain Haddock tells Tintin to "Come on in" which would be strange if he already lived there. It is clear that Tintin spends a lot of time at Marlinspike and we never see Tintin's flat after Marlinspike is purchased but he doesn't seem to live there. Chris I thought Tintin lived at Marlinspike until I started to check.

It is clear that Tintin spends a lot of time at Marlinspike and we never see Tintin’s flat after Marlinspike is purchased but he doesn’t seem to live there.

In some of the books (I think the Calculus Affair is one), he is shown eating breakfast, wearing pyjamas, etc. I though he moved out along with Captain Haddock to live in Marlinspike in Red Rhackam's treasure.
