Question 11. Ownership

Ask if the dwelling being investigated is: owned, rented, etc.

Owned: if it belongs to the persons who inhabit it. Also it is considered owned if it is in the process of being paid for.

Rented: when the occupant pays a biweekly or monthly amount of money to the owner of the house.

Sharecropping (anticresis) contract [a contract to rent property whereby the renter pays the landlord a fixed sum at the start of the rental period in lieu of paying monthly rent.], if you inhabit the dwelling with a charge of interest for a quantity of money given to the owner as a loan.

Mixed contract, combines the characteristics of sharecropping and renting. In other words, the occupant, in addition to having loaned a certain sum of money to the owner , periodically pays another sum as rent.

Ceded for services, when the dwelling is occupied in exchange for any type of service that is loaned from the owner.
