They are occupying the dwelling in other circumstance: this option covers cases of dwellings in litigation, intestate, and occupied with no permission of the owner and any other different situation.

If the informant declares that the dwelling is owned by one of the occupants, but not the land, circle the first option "the owner lives here".

If the answer is that rent is paid, the dwelling is owned by a relative or it is borrowed, or they occupy the dwelling in other circumstance, pass to section II "List of people". Otherwise, continue with question 25 "Owner's name".
