5.26 Question 2.5 Type of Tenure
This question refers to the type of tenure under which the dwelling is occupied.

Owned - This applies if the dwelling is owned by a member(s) of the household. If the dwelling is occupied by the family or close relatives of the owner but the owner, even if he sometimes sleeps there, is not a member of the household according to the census definition (for example, where wife and children of the owner live in the dwelling, but the owner perhaps because of his work, or for other reasons, does not normally sleep in the dwelling, and is then not a member

[p.38]

of the household concerned), the dwelling should not be classified as owned but as Rent Free.

Leased - This relates to those cases where the dwelling is rented in accordance with a signed agreement for a stipulated period between the owner and the occupier. In most cases, this signed agreement of lease will stipulate the rental payable, and length of time for which the building is rented.

Private Rented - This is used here to relate to those cases which are the most usual, where the occupier pays a rental to the owner for the dwelling, but no signed agreement is involved.

Government Rented - Include here all dwellings owned by government and rented to householders.

Rent Free - This relates to those cases where occupiers are not required to pay rental. It implies also that the occupiers are occupying the dwelling with the consent of the owner. Examples of this arrangement are where the government, a business (for example a Sugar Estate or Bank) or some institution (for example a church or school) may provide free quarters for some employees.

Squatted - This relates to those cases where the occupiers are not paying rent but are occupying the dwelling without the consent of the owner. Note that we are dealing with the tenure of the dwelling, not the land.

Other - Include here any arrangement which does not fit into one of the preceding categories.

[] 5 Rent free

Questionnaire instructions view entire document: text image

Number 30: Land ownership
If the person's answer in number 28 is "owner" or "hire purchaser", ask: "Whether a household member is the owner, hire purchaser, renter, or he/she lives without paying rent?"

If the answer is "renter of the land", ask whether the land is rented from the Treasure Department or others such as private sector or the Crown Property, etc.

Land owner is the person who has the legal ownership of that land.
Hire-purchasing the land means purchasing of the land by installment. When the payment is completed, the buyer is considered as the owner of the land.
Renting the land means constructing a house on other person's land, and paying the monthly or yearly rent to the owner of the land. This can be divided into two groups:

a. Renting the land from the Treasure Department
b. Renting the land from the other sources: this can be private sector, the Crown Property, the government, the state enterprise, or municipal government, etc.

Not paying rent for the land means the land owner allows a person to build a house on his land free of charge. This question asks only about land, and it does not include the construction or building.
Land owned by the Treasure Department refers to the land owned by the government, which includes both the public assets and the ordinary public properties.

Public assets refer to the land that is already in use and is possessed by the government. This land is used for government buildings and housing for government officers, soldiers and police. It excludes the land owned by temples, the Royal family, or the Crown property.

Ordinary public properties refer to the land that is taken away from people who owe tax, or it is donated to the government. This land is in the government's possession, and it has not been used. The government may rent it to private sector to build living places.

The assets or the land of the country such as roads, rivers, canals, forests, or deserted land that are under the responsibility of the Department of Lands are considered as public assets, and not the property of the Treasure Department.

(iv) Rented private - Included in this concept is the situation where the head of the household or any other member rents the dwelling from a private individual or group. Rental, although it may be covered by a contract, conveys the idea of payments being made monthly.

(v) Rent-free - This refers to the situation whereby the household does not pay a rent for occupying the dwelling. This situation may apply to households occupying dwellings rent free, which are owned by relatives or even friends who are not members of the household. Other rent-free arrangements also exist such as government and private employees who occupy dwellings owned by their employers.

Question H8: Land Tenure of Plot
Ask, "What is the Land Tenure of this plot?"
221. For purposes of the census, Land Tenure is the arrangement under which a plot of land on which a dwelling unit stands.
222. This question should be asked to only those Households living in owner occupied buildings. For persons in other types of residence tenure, leave this question blank.
223. The following are brief descriptions of the different land tenure systems operated in Uganda:

Customary land: This is the type of land tenure system where land is passed from generations to generations. The land is owned under prevailing customs, traditions or tribal laws of the specific community. It provides for the communal ownership and use of land characterized by local customary regulation. This land is owned in perpetuity (for ever or for a long time).
Freehold tenure: This involves the holding of a registered land for ever or for a less period. The system enables the holder to exercise, subject to the law the powers of ownership of land including but not necessarily limited to:

i. Using and developing land for lawful purpose;
ii. Taking and using the land and any produce from it;
iii. Entering into transaction in connection with the land;
iv. Disposing of the land to any person by will.
v. For avoidance of doubt, a freehold title may be procured by the owners of land here.

Mailo land tenure system: This involves the holding of registered land in perpetuity. It allows the separation of ownership of land from the developments on land made by a lawful or bonafide occupant.
Leasehold: Under leasehold land tenure system, land is owned on contract for a specified period of time. The tenant (lessee) gets powers from the landlord (leaser) to have exclusive powers of owning land within the specified time limit. The land is usually but not necessarily owned in return for a rent, which may be a capital sum known as premium or both rent and a premium but may be in return for services or may be free of any required return.

Question 8.
Concerning [illegible]

Is this household [illegible]?

Remember that you should complete the question reading successively each one of the options until obtaining an affirmative answer.

Owner of the dwelling and the land: It does not matter if an owner already paid for the dwelling and land or that they are still making payments. In apartment buildings, each one of the owners is also owner of the land upon which the building is seated.

Owner of the dwelling only: It is the case of households that have built a dwelling on land that is not their property, whether it is a private owner or public or municipal property.

Member of a living cooperative: It is a case of private groups of dwellings or apartments financed by a bank mortgage, where individual owners do not exist, but rather the owner of the dwelling and land is the dwelling cooperative that they are part of.

Tenant or renter: It is the case of households that pay a rent to the owner for living in the dwelling.

Occupant by relation of dependency (work): Household to which has been assigned a dwelling for duties or work that one of the members of the household does.

Occupant by loan, cede, or permission: They are households that occupy a dwelling with authorization of the owner of it, without paying rent.

Occupant without permission: It is the situation of a household that occupies a dwelling without the authorization of the owner.

Other: Any other situation of tenancy of a household that is not understood to be in the previous cases should be registered in "Other".

7. Regarding this dwelling, is this household [in any of the following categories]?

This question is asked to determine the tenure status of the dwelling occupied by the household and, among other things, to determine the share of household income that is committed to housing costs. For owners, we distinguish between those how have paid in full for the dwelling and those who are still paying for the dwelling.

The question also intends to identify informal settlements, investigating dwelling and land owernship.

Non-paying occupants refer to the cases in which the occupants are not the owners of the dwelling or the terrain, nor are they renters; three types are distinguished:

Occupant with dependency relationship: those who occupy the dwelling for labor reasons and therefore possess an income in-kind.
Free occupant (dwelling was ceded by owner): those cases in which the dwelling was directly ceded by the owner, for example, the parents who give a dwelling to their children to live.
Occupant without permission of the owner, commonly called "squatters".

For each type of housing tenure, the expense associated with the occupation of the dwelling or the rental value, as approproiate. The expense associated with the occupation of the dwelling is the sum of the share of the home or land purchase, or the rental fee if respondent is tenant.

The rental value is the estimated amount that the household (not tenant) would pay if renting the dwelling. The imputation of the rental value of owned homes is a common practice in household surveys conducted internationally to allow comparison between tenants and home owners, with the understanding that although ownership does not provide a monetary income, it does provide a service that can be valued by the net income to be derived from rent. This consideration is also valid for the owners of various durable goods but, perhaps due to its lesser quantitative importance, the discussion around the topic hasn't acquired the same relevance.

It is important to keep in mind that this question must only be asked in the urban areas.

Once the option to question 7 is selected, question MV4 is asked that is to the right of the response to question 7, in the same box.

For owners:

The homeowner of the dwelling can be classified as the owner of:

the dwelling and the terrain and is paying for it: households in which some member is owner of the dwelling and of the terrain in which it is located, but is still paying for it. The promised buyers must also be included in this option.

In the case of the apartment building, each one of the owners is also owner of the terrain in which the building was constructed.

the dwelling and the terrain, and are already paid for: like the previous option except that the payments for the dwelling and terrain are complete.
only the dwelling and is paying for it: like the first option, but the dwelling is constructed on a terrain that is not the property of any of the members of the household. The terrain can be owned by another private entity or it can be a fiscal terrain.
only the dwelling and it is already paid for: just like the previous option but the payment for the dwelling is complete.

For users or occupants:

The dwelling users or occupants that do not pay for the dwelling, that inhabit it and are not its owners, are classified:

by a dependence (work) relationship: this refers to the household that occupies the dwelling as payment in kind on the part of the employer of some member of the household.
free, granted by the Social Security Bank BPS: household that occupies a dwelling located in the housing complex of the BPS. The dwellings of these complexes are awarded by virtue of usufruct to retired and pensioned people, among other requirements, that lack their own dwelling and sufficient resources for renting them.
free (lent to them): These are those households to which the dwelling was directly given by the owner. For example, the parents that give their children some dwelling in which to live. The dwellings in succession should be recorded in this category, that's to say, occupants not paying with the permission of the owner.
without the permission of the owner. These are those households commonly called "intrusions."
