187. Question H9 - Tenure - The living quarters
This question refers to the arrangements by which a household occupies its living quarters.
Ask,
'Does this household pay rent for its living quarters?'
188. If the answer is 'no', the household either owns the living quarters or occupies them in some other way.
Owning means that the household or a member of it owns the living quarters or is paying for them by installments. No rent is paid, nor does the household occupy its quarters with someone else's permission.
If the household pays no rent but does not own its living quarters, it either occupies them with an employer's permission, as in the case of living-in domestic servants, or in some other way which you should describe.
189. If the answer is 'yes' and the household does pay rent for its living quarters,
Ask
'Who is the rent paid to?'
and insert the appropriate code.
If you cannot decide on the category box, describe the arrangements by which the household occupies its quarters under 'other'.
