24. Deed or title
This question allows us to know if the person who owns the housing unit has deeds or ownership titles in their name, or if they are in the name of another person who does not live in the housing unit.

In general terms, the ownership titles of a property are a public document signed by a notary where one or more people are accredited as legal owners of the property.

Mark the first option when the deeds are in the name of the owner who resides in the housing unit; also, if they only have the deeds to the land and not to the housing unit because they built it or had it built.
