Answers should be furnished to Questions 19 to 28, inclusive, in respect of all private household (except those in mobile dwellings) and in respect of the houses, flats, or rooms occupied by such households.


Question 20 - Nature of occupancy.
The Enumerator should check that on "X" has been inserted in one and only one of the spaces provided. Cases will sometimes be met of two distinct households occupying a single house and, in accordance with Instruction 10, a separate Form A will be completed for each household. While the First household might own the house (so that an "X" would be written in space 5), the second household might be renting portion of the house from the first household (so that on their Form A the "X" should be written in space 2 or 3, as appropriate) or living free of rent (when the "X" should be written in space 6).
