After filling in the Dwelling questionnaire and the Personal questionnaires of the persons enumerated in the dwelling, still on the site of the enumeration the headings 1-5 of the respective table should be completed by the enumerator. A list should be given by grouping the households, within the households the families composing the household, afterwards the persons forming the family, according to their family status. In case more than one household is living in the dwelling the members of the different households must be grouped separately; the listing of the second household should follow the firs one. The number of rows filled in will be equal to the total number of persons enumerated in the dwelling.
If within a family several persons are having the same family status (e.g. child) the persons will be listed in the descending order of their age.
The sequence i.e. the frame must not be changed even if a relative or non-relative living with the family is the tenant or the owner of the dwelling.
In cases where in the dwelling a tenant (owner) and subtenant or night-lodger is enumerated the above list should start with the tenant (owner). The subtenant or night-lodger must be regarded always as a separate household!
Members of the same household will be allotted by the same household number; the latter should be entered also into the heading of the Personal questionnaire.

Title of right of using the dwelling of a family will be marked only once, in cases of a married couple type family in the respective cell I the row of the husband, in cases of a lone parent with child(ren) family in the row of the parent. The subsequent cells at the other members of the family will remain blank. In cases of households of relatives and/or non-relatives not forming a family the title of right of using the dwelling will be marked at the person having a right of using the dwelling only.
The title of using the dwelling might be also other than printed on the questionnaire, such as using the dwelling upon courtesy, using the dwelling without legal right.
In cases the first person of the family (husband, father, etc.) does not have a right of using the dwelling than into the respective heading his relation to the person having the right of use will be entered (e.g. son-in-law of the owner, child of the tenant, supporter of the owner, etc.).
