2. Household habitation characteristics -- for all households
In this part of the document we will know the characteristics of the part of a dwelling that a household occupies. Because of this, always, in all households we fill out this part of the Document.

Question 14 permits us to know the type of relation of ownership existing between the head of Household and the enumerated dwelling.
We see the definitions of some of the alternatives:
[The instructions refer to a graphic of the census form including the following questions]
Owner of the dwelling and the land is one who has the right to use or to arrange the dwelling and the land, even when it is partially unpaid. Owners who have possession of the dwelling and land are included even if they have not registered. The owner of an apartment also which is of the land.
Owner of the dwelling only when one does not have possession of the land where the dwelling is located. Generally they are situated in government lands, in emergency areas. They are not legal situations of ownership.
Occupant by relation of dependence is one who receives the use of a dwelling and or land as part of a payment for their job.
Occupant by loan, cessation or permission is one who makes use of a dwelling and or land by loans to the owner (documented or not). Include situations such as "a relative loaned me it in exchange for a payment of taxes", "a friend charged me with its care", "house sitter", or "loaned for use", etc.
De facto occupant of a dwelling is one who makes use of a dwelling without authorization of its owner (whether it be private or of the state) even if some payment is made for its use by a third person. In this category all cases of "taking", "misappropriations" of dwellings, buildings are included.

(12) Legal justification for use of the dwelling:
[] Building proprietor's own use
[] Freehold dwelling (owner used)
[] Co-operative dwelling
Apartment:
[] With main rent according to Rent Act
[] By other legal requirements
[] By free agreement
[] Company / army/ etc. housing
[] Other legal justification
(12) Personal use of the house owners:
a) Dwelling in one- and two-family houses, as well as farmhouses, in which the house owner or his/her household personnel reside.
b) Dwelling of the house owner within an apartment house--also in the case when it is treated statement-wise as a rent dwelling.
Owner's dwelling:
Dwelling ownership means joint ownership of the property, connected with the exclusive usufruct of a residence. "Owner's dwelling" should only be marked when a contract exists (i.e. with a dwelling cooperative or residential building union) according to the Dwelling ownership law of 1975 (earlier: Dwelling ownership law 1948)--regardless if it is already noted in the land register or not; also the qualification for such a dwelling ownership contract are made under it.
Please do not confuse Owner's dwelling with house ownership.
Union dwelling:
With union dwellings, the residence owner is a member of that union, which owns the building and charges a utilization fee from the union.
Apartment:
Apartments are leased:
a) With primary rent interest on the main rent [Hauptmietzins] according to the Renter's law. All apartments built before 1917 are subject to the Renter's law. Characteristic for the establishment of the rent interest is that the yearly primary rent interest totals one Schilling for every crone of the year rent rate for 1914. The rent rate can however be temporarily raised due to necessary repairs on the house (§ 7 Renter's Law).
b) According to other legal regulations. Especially those apartments that were built in the years 1917-1954 are counted [in this category]; through the interest stop law [Zinsstopgesetz] 1954 the rent rates of these dwellings were frozen as well. Likewise come those dwellings under it [this category], which are subject to the communal dwellings use law [Wohnungsgemeinützigkeitsgesetz] or the Residential building-reconstruction law.
c) According independent agreement. Independent agreement of the rent rate occurs most often in two cases:
The dwelling was built after 1954 without public funding by a non-public welfare builder;
The dwelling was built up until 1954, but from the year 1968 was newly rented with a raised rate
For dwellings that were created through the division of large dwellings, an independent agreement was also possible before 1968.
Work or civil servant housing [Naturalwohnung]
A company apartment is an additional benefit of payment [Nebenleistung zur Entlohnung], whereas with the use is part of payment (often in agriculture) [Naturalwohnung].
Other legal argument:
Included here [are] for example dwelling related expenditures [Ausgedingewohnungen]

8. Tenure status for the use of the housing unit:
[] Building proprietor's own use
[] Apartment proprietor's own use (owner-occupied apartment)
[] Rent (Hauptmiete)
[] Subject to the Rent Act (Mietrechtsgesetz) (or by agreement)
[] Subject to the Act for Non-Profit Building Associations -- also housing rented from co-operative
[] Official dwelling or dwelling as income in kind
[] Other tenure status (Sub-tenancy, use without payment by relatives of the owner of the house)

8, Tenancy status for the use of the housing unit:
House proprietor's own use includes:
a) dwellings in single family homes and two family homes as well as farm houses used by the owner themselves or his household members;
[p. 85]
b) dwellings used by the house owner and situated in a residential building, even if they have tenancy status for bookkeeping purposes.
Apartment owner's own use (owner-occupied apartment) should be marked if a person holds a joint title to the property and has the exclusive right to use a dwelling. There must be a contract (e.g. with the building association or the cooperative) based on the Act for Owner-Occupied Housing - regardless of whether there is an entry in the real estate register or not; if such an apartment ownership contract is pending the box should also be marked.
According to the Rent Act, main rent means that rent based on certain apartment category, an adequate rent or a rent based on the regulations of the Housing Promotion acts is present. Community residences, for example, are considered to be rented. Also included here are tenancies with freely agreed rents that are nevertheless subject to the Rent Act (e.g. rental dwellings in single family or two family homes).
Main rent subject to the Act for Non-Profit Building Associations is present if a dwelling is leased from a non-profit building association (cooperative) based on a rental or license contract.
Official residence or residence as an income in kind: an official residence is a supplementary benefit not included in the salary, while the use of a residence as an income in kind is part of the salary (e.g. in farming).
Other legal relationship: counted there are for example, dwellings rented for a limited period of time (up to 6 months), secondary dwellings rented for recreational purposes and dwellings for retired farmers.
Enumerator guideline:
A main rental dwelling should always be entered as a "main rent according to the Rent Act" in cases of doubt. Also main tenants whose rent is freely agreed upon, mostly pay an adequate rent according to the Rent Act.
Only the cases explicitly named to be handled differently in the housing unit questionnaire or in the instructions (see above) should be entered differently. e.g. rent according to the Non-Profit Building Association Act, subleasers, etc.
Housing units in possession of an employer are only an "official residence" for the employee if their lease represents a supplementary benefit not included in the salary. The use is free or the fee paid lies considerably below a comparable "rent."
Purpose of the question:
This question serves the basic assessment of the living situation of the population, concrete for many housing and social policy decisions, like ownership assistance measures or for the support of certain population groups.
Austria has a high rate of home and housing unit ownership. In all states - excluding Vienna -the portion of house and housing unit ownership at the main residence housing unit was over 50% in 1981. (This is connected with the low residence mobility in Austria.)

5. Legal basis for the use of a housing unit:
[p. 59]
Explanation: Principal tenant can be based both on the Tenancy Law and on the Act for Non-Profit Building Associations. Principal tenant should be marked for apartments in city-owned public housing, cooperative apartments (under lease or contract of use), and rented condominiums as well as for rent-to-own housing units whose purchase is not possible until a later date.
Under use of housing unit by building owner falls:
Housing units in single family homes and duplexes that are occupied by the building owner and
apartments of the building owner in a tenant-occupied house even if they are treated as rental units in the accounts.
Condominiums (owner used) should be marked if the owner co-owns the property and has the exclusive right of use to a housing unit. A contract on the basis of the Condominium Dwellings Act between the co-owners must be present regardless of whether or not it has already been entered in the Land Register; this item should also be marked if such an apartment ownership contract is pending.
Company-owned apartment and an apartment provided in kind: A company-owned apartment is a fringe benefit in addition to compensation; for an apartment provided in kind, the use is part of the compensation (e.g. in farming).
"Other legal relationship": This includes, for example, housing units rented as "Second apartments for recreational purposes", apartments provided to retired farmers by their children as a part of the farm transfer, and apartments in senior citizen residential complexes that are inhabited with "right of residence for life" but not on the basis of the Tenancy Law.
Temporary primary tenant is entitled only to use for the length of the rental contract.
For condominium ownership, "use of housing unit by house owner" is to be marked in the sense of building co-owner. For former rental housing units, where ownership was acquired after appraisal and division of the building into smaller units, "condominium (owner used)" should be marked.
Housing units owned by employers are only a "company-owned apartment" for the employee if its relinquishment presents a fringe benefit to the salary. The use is complimentary or the payable charge lies significantly below a comparable "Rent."
Sporadically occurring lease contracts (most likely in single family home area) are to be recorded as "Other legal relationship."
For housing units, in which on the day of the census absolutely no persons are reported, the designated legal relationship is to be indicated.
This question serves the basic assessment of the living situation of the population, concrete for many housing and social policy decisions, like measures of ownership assistance or for the support of certain population groups.
Austria has a high rate of home and housing unit ownership. In all states -- excluding Vienna --the portion of house and housing unit ownership at the main residence housing unit was over 50% in 1991.
Since 1994, the main rental contract can also be closed in a fixed term. The intent of the lawmakers was, through the introduction of time limitations, to make it possible for home or housing unit owners, who at that time do not need their housing unit, to rent the house or housing unit for a limited time. Thus, housing unit hunters should be able to find a housing unit more easily, but the owner can, after the expiration of the time limit, again control the apartment.
What actual effect does this measure have? How many persons now live in time-limited rental relationships and are, thus, actually only temporarily provided with a housing unit? Are these time limitations mainly found by persons that only temporarily need a housing unit?

Ask if the dwelling being investigated is: owned, rented, etc.
Owned: if it belongs to the persons who inhabit it. Also it is considered owned if it is in the process of being paid for.
Rented: when the occupant pays a biweekly or monthly amount of money to the owner of the house.
Sharecropping (anticresis) contract [a contract to rent property whereby the renter pays the landlord a fixed sum at the start of the rental period in lieu of paying monthly rent.], if you inhabit the dwelling with a charge of interest for a quantity of money given to the owner as a loan.
Mixed contract, combines the characteristics of sharecropping and renting. In other words, the occupant, in addition to having loaned a certain sum of money to the owner , periodically pays another sum as rent.
Ceded for services, when the dwelling is occupied in exchange for any type of service that is loaned from the owner.

5. Use allowed in exchange for services. When the dwelling is occupied in exchange for some service that is performed for the owner.
6. Use allowed because of family relationship. When the dwelling has been given by a relative of the members of the household.

Note that this group includes persons occupying houses or buildings on hire purchase basis or living in houses or buildings built with loan from financial institutions for which full payments have not been made. Note also that even if the head or a member of household owns part of a family house which was occupied by the household you should give code 1.
97.2 Rent: Give code 2 if the household has been paying rent for its accommodation. Remember that rent here implies the payment of money at the end of a specified period.
97.3 Not owner, but rent-free: Give code 3 if the household has an accommodation free of charge although the house or building is not the property of the head or any member of this household. For example, households staying in family houses free of rent.
97.4 Other, (specify): Give code 4 for any answer not fitting in any of the three categories specified above and specify the basis on which the household occupies the dwelling.

Step E: Housing
Questions E1 to E10 provide information to develop housing communities and projects.
Information on the number of rooms and bedrooms in homes and on housing costs is used to assess the economic situation of families. Governments use this information to measure levels of crowding within households and to develop housing programs.
Information on the age of dwellings and the need for repairs is used by municipalities to develop neighborhood improvement programs.
Question E2 -- Owned or rented
Mark the circle 'owned' if you and/or another member of this household own the dwelling in which you live, even if the dwelling is on rented or leased land, if it is part of a condominium or if it is being paid for by you or another member of your household. If the household contains both owners and renters, such as a boarder, the dwelling should be considered owned.
Mark the circle 'rented' in all other cases, even if the dwelling you occupy is provided without cash rent or at a reduced rent (e.g., a clergy's residence or a superintendent's dwelling in an apartment building), or the dwelling is part of a co-operative.

[p. 22]
4.4.1.- Occupied: is a Private Dwelling where one or more persons reside on the date of the census, May 14, 1973 or the day of enumeration.
It can be occupied under only one of the following forms of Ownership:
4.4.1.1.- Rented: When rent is paid for living in it.
If a Private Dwelling is rented, the amount in colones that is paid by the month should be written down. Do not write down cents. For example: If they pay 300, 50 colones, only write down 300.oo colones.
If the form of payment is not monthly, write it down in "Observations", for example: Weekly, every two weeks, annually, etc.
4.4.1.2.- Owned: is a Private dwelling that belongs to the Head of the Census Family or to some or all of the members of the family.

Question 2: Occupancy-Tenure-Rent
(See Illustration on Page 22)
This second question of the dwelling form has the purpose of knowing if the private dwelling is found Occupied or Unoccupied. In the case in which the dwelling is found to be Occupied with respect to the Census Moment, that is to say, it has been inhabited before 12:00 the night of June 10 or 0 hours of June 11, 1984, you should make a distinction between those that are in it because the persons who reside in it pay a rent (Renters), and those occupied by a family that is its owner (Owners). The questionnaire leaves open the possibility that Occupied Dwellings will be found by other means, (for example: being poor or because it was ceded for reasons of work to the inhabitants, etc.) fact that should not be specified.
[p. 26]
In the end, you should mark with an X the alternative that corresponds, and only in the case that it is the first (Rented dwelling) write down the monthly amount in colones that is paid for rent.
In the case that the dwelling is found to be Unoccupied before the Census Moment, an X is marked in the circle that corresponds to the reason that explains why it is uninhabited, that is to say, "for rent or for sale", "under construction or repair", "for the summer", and "other" with the response not included in the previous ones and which it isn't specified in written form.

Question 2: Occupancy - Tenure
This question has the goal of establishing if the dwelling is occupied or unoccupied; also the condition of ownership or the reason for it not being occupied.
Mark with an "X" only one of the options.
[To the right of the text is a form.]
Occupied
It refers to a dwelling in which, at the moment of the census, one or more persons reside usually.
The dwelling can be:
Owned completely paid for: belongs to any of the members of the home and is found to be free of payments by loan or mortgage over the property.
Owned and being paid for in installments: belongs to any of the members of the home, but is not completely paid for, but rather it requires monthly payment in the form of a loan or mortgage on the property. In this case write down in colones the amount paid monthly.
Rented: The inhabitants of this dwelling pay a determined amount of money for residing in it. Write down in colones the amount paid monthly for rent.
Squatter: includes the dwellings that are located in lands that have been occupied without mediating any legal mechanisms of possession. It concerns that which is commonly known as "taken land" (tomas de tierra). Nevertheless, the dwelling was able to be constructed by its inhabitants but, because of being land that does not belong to them, it cannot be considered "owned".
Other: Any form of ownership like the cases in which the dwellings are ceded for reasons of work or kin relationships.
[p. 38]
Unoccupied
The individual dwelling is considered unoccupied when at the moment of the census, no one resides usually in it.
It can be unoccupied only under the following forms:
For rent or sale: When the dwelling is uninhabited because it has not been rented or bought.
Under construction or repair: in this case it is not inhabited because it is in the process of construction or repair.
Seasonal: is a dwelling designed to lodge persons occasionally (not permanent), since it is for purposes of recreation or rest or for work reasons. It can happen that at the census moment it is inhabited, but its members are not usual residents of it.
Other: Any other form not dealt with previously, like a house abandoned for demolition.
[To the left of the text is a picture of a house.]
Recommendation:
If you verify that the dwelling is unoccupied, mark the corresponding option and visit the next dwelling.

[] 2 owned and making payments
[] 3 rented
[] 4 borrowed for work purposes
[] 5 borrowed for other reasons
[] 6 precarious condition
[] 7 other
In the case of the occupied dwelling you must mark the option that corresponds according to the status of possession, according to the following categories:
[p. 109]
Owned and totally paid: in these cases the dwelling has already been paid off.
Owned and making payments: it belongs to one of the persons of the dwelling but is not completely paid, but rather requires monthly payments in the form of a loan or mortgage on the property.
Rented: the habitants of this dwelling pay a third person a determined quantity in order to reside within.
Borrowed for work purposes: in this case the dwellings have been conceded to workers that reside within while the labor relation to the boss persists. These dwellings lodge private households.
Borrowed for other reasons (without pay): dwellings that have been borrowed or conceded to habitants for different reasons, other than work. This dwelling is used with the authorization of the owner without negotiating any payment in return for the use of the dwelling.
Precarious condition: the dwellings that are found located in terrains that have been occupied without mediating for them through legal mechanisms of possession are included in this category. This deals with what is commonly known as land dispossession. Because of this situation, the dwelling could have been built by its inhabitants but, for being in a terrain that does not belong to them, this cannot be considered "owned." Keep in mind that "precarious" is not a synonym for shanty and as such cannot be confused with the shanty category.
Other: the location of a dwelling is found in structures such as mobile homes, trucks, etc.

In box 1:
- the owners of a private house living there;
- the owners of the whole residential building of in which they live in one of the apartments;
[p.27]
Box 2: This category is only for residential buildings under joint ownership or owned by a company (1) For such buildings, you are to include in this category the dwellings where their joint owners live (or members of the company).

Box 3: The people who should be included in this category are those who work and who are lodged there by their owner for free or for a fee, and for whom the dwelling is a part of their work contract binding the owner and the paid employee (that is to say that, if the person changes employers, he/she must leave that dwelling). Examples: teacher having professional accommodations, stationmaster, concierge or caretaker of a factory living within factory property, etc.
These people especially are to be excluded and classified in box 4:
- people, for example, retirees, having kept their former professional accommodation.
- renters of a dwelling belonging to their employer, but for which the dwelling is not mentioned in the work contract and which could be, as a consequence, kept when changing employer.

IV. Ownership
In this part of the form, we want to know in what condition the dwelling is inhabited, either as an owner, a renter, or in another way, for which you will mark one of the three small boxes that are found on the form.
You will note the category of "owned" when its owners occupy the dwelling, even when they are not the owners of the land. This situation occurs in some plots where the person builds on the lot even when this is not registered to his or her name because he or she has not finished paying for the land, or when the rustic rural dwelling is build by a tenant farmer, to whom the land is loaned so that the person builds his or her own dwelling, or when the dwelling is built on a municipal land. You will also note that the dwelling is owned when the value of the property is being paid for in installments, such as is the case of lots, neighborhoods built by banking institutions, etc. In the case of collective dwellings, it is not necessary that the owner occupy the building physically. For example: if a person has a building in which a boarding school is established, even if the person lives elsewhere, it is considered that the institution (school) is the owner of the building.
Rented dwellings are those for which a quantity of money is paid for its rent. The same comment made about the dwellings occupied by their owners is valid in this case. If the owner of the boarding school is not the owner of the building, but it is obtained through a rental agreement, it will be noted as rented.
The other forms of occupation correspond to dwellings not included in either of the two categories mentioned. For example: a) a house given by an employer to be occupied by one of his workers without payment; and b) the dwelling occupied by family members of the owner and for which no payment is received for the occupation. To be able to have the most complete information, it is recommended that you specify the way by which the dwelling is occupied.
In the case that the dwelling is rented, line 16 asks for information about the monthly value that is paid for rent, for which you should note the value in Quetzals that is paid monthly by the renter for the dwelling rent.

III. Living situation of household number
The questions included in this part of the form should be investigated for each of the households that are residing in the dwelling at the time of the Census.
The following specific instructions will allow the enumerator to carry out the work more efficiently.
Question 7: tenure
1. How to formulate the question
Under what tenancy condition does the household occupy the dwelling?
[p. 48]
The following definitions will allow the enumerator to correctly investigate this question:
Completely paid for: The dwelling occupied by the household in which one of the members has acquired the right to the real estate property via purchase, with cash, credit, or through inheritance etc. This is the case only if it has been completely paid for by the time of the census.
Paying in installments: The dwelling occupied by the household in which one of the members has acquired the right to the real estate property through a credit purchase. A mortgage is still held at the time of the Census.
Rented: The dwelling occupied by the household that pays the owner or subtenant an amount of money or its equivalent in-kind or in services.
Loaned: The dwelling occupied by the household, with the express permission of the owner, for which no rent is paid.
Other: Any other form of tenure that cannot be classified into the above categories.
2. How to record the data
Once the type of tenure has been identified, the enumerator will circle the number corresponding to the answer given.
When the dwelling is being paid for or is being rented, the amount of the monthly mortgage (in payment) or rent (rented) payment in Quetzales [Guatemalan currency] is requested and recorded.

1. Ownership status
Ask, "In what capacity does the household occupy this dwelling?"
[A graphic of question 1, from section 4 of the census form, is included here.]
[p. 43]
Owner: This is when one of the members of the household has acquired property rights to the dwelling by purchasing it with cash or on credit. At the time of the census, it is paid for completely or is being paid off in installments. This option includes premises received as an inheritance.
Renter: This is when one of the members of the household pays the owner or subtenant of the dwelling a certain amount of money, or a money substitute with goods or services.
Borrowed: This is when the members of the household occupy the dwelling without paying rent and with the express authorization of the owner.
Other: This is any other form of tenancy not covered by the previous options. This category includes dwellings in which a member of the household owns the structure but not the land, as in the case of squatters' settlements.

H01: Dwelling occupation status (statut d'occupation du logement)
The housing occupancy variable refers back to the way in which households use buildings for housing. There are several possible scenarios:
a) The household, or rather, the head of household, may be the "owner" of the [building] or [buildings] occupied by his household. Cases of co-ownership are easily assimilated in the "ownership" category.
b) the head of household is not the owner of the housing he occupies. In what capacity [does the owner] of the housing give lodging to the household?
i) The household pays rent in cash or in kind to the owner in exchange [for the lodging]. The household is a "normal renter."
ii) the household pays rent in cash, a part of which is reimbursed by the employer. In other words, part of the rent is paid by the renter, and another part by his employer. In this case it is said that "the rent is subsidized."
iii) the household is lodged by the employer on one of his premises/in his housing, (which is the case with high government officials or company executives), or else the household is lodged by the employer who pays the total amount of the rent to the owner of the housing (here it is a question of paying for 100% of the rent). In this case it is said that the household is "lodged for free by the employer," because the household does not contribute towards the cost of the rent.
iv) The household occupies a dwelling which a relative or friend has graciously made available. It is said that the household is "lodged by a relative or friend."
To get the information you seek, ask the following question of the head of household:
Are you the owner of the housing?
a) If the answer is "yes," simply circle code "1."
b) If the answer is "no," ask a series of questions to verify which of the other 5 possible answers is correct, and then circle the number of the corresponding code.

10. Type of tenure
There are 5 possible answers for this question. Mark an 'x' in the appropriate box.
a) Owner: The household is owner when the house or a part of the house belongs to one of its members.
b) Lodged for Free: The household is 'lodged for free' when it occupies the house or part of the house without being the owner and without paying rent or farm rent. This method of occupation may take place with or without the agreement of the owner of the house.
c) Tenant: The household is a tenant household when it pays rent, or payment in kind, every year, month or week for the house or part of the house that it occupies.
d) Tenant paying rent for another specific time period: The household is a fermier when it pays cash for a very specific time period in return for a reduction in rent either in kind or in cash for the house that it occupies.
In the case of fermier, always indicate the number of months of the agreed-upon lease after the amount of the payment.
e) Other: Put into this category any household which does not belong to one of the above categories. Make sure to include the declared method of occupation in the space reserved for that purpose.

3. Title of right for using
The answer should refer to the use of the entire dwelling (housing unit). The categories "subtenant" and "night-lodger" must not be marked. The tenant is the person who rents the entire dwelling. E.g. in case a dwelling is taken via a broker company the title of right for using will be enumerated upon the person officially registered in the dwelling (even if he/she is not present), that is the title might be "owner" or "tenant". The title of use of the person temporarily renting the dwelling is marked as subtenant in the 5th cell of table "Data on persons enumerated in the dwelling". If the owner is not officially registered as usual resident in the dwelling the effective user of the dwelling will be regarded as "tenant" even is the lease contract was mediated by a broker.
The title of use if a lessee is "Owner (1)", while in case of a service flat, "Tenant (2)".
If "Other (4)" is underlined the subsequent explanation should be indicated. E.g. the explanation might be as "resident without legal right", or in case of a person being a relative of the owner and using the dwelling without any fee "user by a matter of courtesy".
In case of vacant dwellings and vacant holiday houses (coded with "2" and "3" in question 1.) the title of right of using will not be marked.

Part J: Housing Conditions
2. Instructions for answering questions
d. Type of ownership of apartment
The household's type of ownership of apartment is the arrangement according to which the household lives in the apartment (does it own the apartment, rent it, or lives there according to a different arrangement).
From this question we can learn what percentage of people live in an apartment they own, compared to the percentage of people who rent their apartment or live in an apartment without paying.
Question 10.40 - Is this apartment owned by you, or rented by you?
[] 1 Own it
[] 2 Key-money apartment
[] 3 Rent it (no key-money)
[] 4 Apartment owned by relatives and respondents do not pay rent for it
[] 5 Other, elaborate
- Apartment is considered as owned as soon as there is a purchase contract with a contractor, private body or any other body.
- 'Key-money apartment' (answer 2): This is a type of a rented apartment. The person living in the apartment paid a one-time deposit, 'key-money', when entering the apartment. During the lease he will pay a monthly rent, and when he leaves he will get the key-money back from the owner, or from the new tenant which will replace him in the apartment.
- 'Other' (answer 5): this is an apartment where people live without paying, and is not owned by relatives. For example: an apartment owned by the workplace, or an apartment that belongs to a religious institutions.

Section 8 - Housing
5.68 General
The information in this section relates to the building or part of the building used for living purposes. The information is to be recorded on the questionnaire for the Head of the Household only, and the required information must be given with respect to the entire household; no information on this topic is to be entered on the questionnaires for other members of the household.
Because the information is being sought from each household, this means that in some cases there will be different sets of replies with respect to the same building. The relevant instructions for non-private dwellings are given in Part 6.
5.69 Question 39 - Type of Tenure
[Image omitted here]
This question refers to the type of tenure under which the dwelling, that is, the living quarters of that particular household, 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 the 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 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 between the owner and the occupier. In most cases, this signed agreement of lease will stipulate the rental payable, and the length of time for which the building is rented.
Private Rented: This relates to arrangements for rental but not with signed agreement. This is the most common form of rental agreement.
Rent Free: This relates to those cases where the 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 the above 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 or all of its 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 type of tenure of the dwelling, not the land.
Government Rented: Include here all houses owned by Government and rented to householders. This includes those owned by the National Housing Trust and the Ministry of Housing and are rented out.
Other: Include here any arrangement which does not fit into one of the preceding categories.

[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.

5.19 Question 3.1: 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 solely by 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 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 an agreement (written or unwritten) for a stipulated period, between the owner and the occupier. In most cases, this agreement of lease will stipulate the rental payable, and length of time for which the building is rented
Rented: This is used here to relate to those cases which are the most usual where the occupier pays a monthly rental to the owner for the dwelling, on the basis of an agreement which may be written or unwritten.
Rent free: In addition to the situation described above, this relates also 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 Bank) or some institution (for example a school or a church) may provide free quarters for some employees.
Squatted: This relates to those cases where 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.

This question is only addressed to housing units which are populated by private or collective households; meaning, if the reply in question 116 is one of the codes 1 or 2. The enumerator enters the code of the reply in the appropriate place. In general and prevalent cases it is when the housing unit is owned by the household or one of its members, code 1. In this case, move to question 119 it is also possible that the housing unit is unfurnished rent, code 2. It could be furnished rent, code 3 in this case, so continue to complete the data for question 118.
In some cases, the housing unit could be owned by one of extended family members, but not a member of the household, code 4 the housing unit could be occupied by a private or collective household and no rent is paid in return for occupancy. A public or private establishment could agree with an individual to work in Jordan. It is possible that one of the terms of the contract is to provide furnished or non furnished housing for this individual and his family. Some companies or institutions could provide in some cases housing
[Page 42]
for some categories of workers per specific conditions. For all these cases, the ownership of the building is return for a work; i.e. code 5. In this case the residents in the housing unit do not pay a monetary rent in return for the housing benefit. In some cases, the housing unit could be occupied by a private household and none of the residents pays the rent. The housing unit is used by its residents without a payment for a limited or non-limited period. For all these cases, the ownership of the housing unit is free of charge; i.e. code 6. The type of the occupancy of the housing unit could be other; i.e. code 7. For all these cases, codes 4 -- 7, it is directly proceeded to question 119.

Question A5
[Question A5 from the enumeration form is not presented here.]
Purpose
This question is to obtain information relating to the ownership status of the LQ.
Definition
The word "own" covers all LQs which are purchased through loan regardless of whether the loan has been paid up or not, by installment or it is still under mortgage.
Individual ownership
This includes LQs occupied by the owner himself/ herself or LQs which are rented from other individual owners.
(i) Self-owned (Code 1)
This category includes LQs occupied by the owner himself/ herself or the family or a relative of the owner who inherits the LQs.
(ii) Other individual owner (Code 2)
This category includes LQs rented by occupants from other individuals.
Non-individual ownership
This includes LQs owned by the government/statutory body/local authority, private companies, and non-individual owners.
[p.77]
(i) Government/ Statutory body (Code 3)
Included in this category are LQs owned by the government and statutory bodies, e.g., government quarters, NEB quarters, UDA flats, Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur, PKNS, etc. In most cases, the occupants have to pay rent to the authority.
However, there are LQs under FELDA housing schemes whereby the occupants are required to pay monthly installment to the authority. In such cases, the LQs should be classified under "Self-owned" (Code 1).
(ii) Private (Code 4)
Included in this category are LQs owned by private companies. It includes LQs provided by the employers to their employees, e.g., estate houses or houses owned by the private company and rented out to the public.
In some cases, if the LQs provided by the employer is owned by individuals, and the employer rents the LQs for his/her employees classify the LQs as "Other individual owner" (Code 2).
(iii) Others (Code 5)
This refers to categories other than the above-mentioned, e.g., owned by co-operatives, associations, etc.
How to ask the question
Ask the question as stated in the questionnaire.
How to record the answer
Mark "X" in the relevant box. If code 5 is marked, state the ownership status on the dotted line.

3. Type of occupancy
Here you must figure out in what capacity the household occupies the dwelling. The choices possible are owner, renter, or dwelling occupied in another capacity. The definitions are as follows:
a. Owner: This is the person to whom the dwelling in question belongs. He is the legal owner of the building and can, as a result, rent or even sell all or part of the dwelling.
NB: Any person who answers questions for the absent or unavailable head of household, and who normally belongs to the household, can be indicated as owner in place of the head of household when the household is owner of the premises.
b. Renter: This is anyone who occupies a dwelling in exchange for periodic payment (by week, by month, etc.) which is the rent.
c. Other: This category includes: those who are lodged for free, households that occupy the dwelling of an absent owner without paying any rent and without the authorization of the owner; and other cases not included in the above categories.
Refer to the above definitions and ask the head of household this question: "In what capacity do you occupy the dwelling?" and then check off the box corresponding to the typical case.
Example 1: A household rents a 3-room dwelling in a compound. Question 3 is then filled out as follows:

1.4. Housing
This second part is devoted to housing, and aims at listing all housing units for the households at time of the census, at gathering information on building characteristics, and to obtain indicators on the conditions in which the population is housed.
10. Column H24: Type of occupancy
One shall determine in what capacity the household head occupies the dwelling unit. Possible cases are:
[] 1 Landlord, with a deed
[] 2 Landlord, without a deed
[] 3 Condominium (shared property)
[] 4 Tenant (Renting)
[] 5 Leasing
[] 6 Free lodging
[] 7 Others
The main following definitions may be useful to you:
a. Landlord: this is the person who owns the dwelling unit concerned. He or she is the legal owner of the real estate, and may, as a consequence, rent or sell the whole or parts of the dwelling unit.
b. Tenant: This is a person who occupies a dwelling unit while paying periodically (per week, per month, etc...) a given amount of money, called the rent.
c. Others: This category includes the persons housed for free, the households who occupy the dwelling unit of an absentee landlord without paying a rent, or without the authorization of the latter, as well as the other cases not defined in the above categories.
Refer to these definitions, and go ask to the household head the following question: "In which title does the household occupy the dwelling unit?" Circle the number corresponding to the typical case.
Example 1: A household rents in a compound a 3-rooms dwelling unit. Then Column H24 will be filled as (4): Tenant

6.2.6.10 Occupation status (Column H10)
This question is used to determine in what way the household occupies the dwelling. The agent asks, "In what capacity does this household occupy this dwelling?." Refer to the definitions and write the corresponding code.
1 = Owner with land title
2 = Owner without land title: Person who owns the dwelling. The owner may be a legal owner of the property, buildings. He may therefore make rent or even sell all or a portion of the housing.
3 = Co-owner: Person sharing the property. This is often the case in inheritances.
4 = Renter: Person occupying a dwelling and pays rent on a periodic basis (weekly, monthly etc.)
5 = Rent-to-buy: Person occupying a dwelling and pays rent on a periodic basis (weekly, monthly etc.), but who becomes the owner after a certain time (social housing).
6 = Free housing: Person occupying a dwelling and does not pay rent.
7 = Other, specify: This category includes situations not included in the above categories.

Q.2. What kind of house ownership does the household hold?
[] 1. Own
[] 2. Rented
[] 3. Others
House ownership refers to legal ownership; the ownership belongs to the person whose name the house is registered in. In rural areas, usually houses are not registered legally, so house ownership can be in regard to land ownership. House ownership is split into three types:
1. Own - At the time of the enumeration if the residence of the household, house, part of the house or flat is in the legal ownership of any household member, then it is considered owned. If the place of residence of the household member is the ancestral home but legally the registration is not yet transferred, then the house ownership is considered as owned.
2. Rent - The house of residence, part of the house or the flat is not in the ownership of the any member of the household; and if rent is paid (cash/kind) for living there, then the house should be understood as rented. If rent is paid for living in a house, then code number 2 should be marked.
3.

Household information
Question 1: what type of ownership is the house used by this family?
[] 1 Private
[] 2 Rental
[] 3 Institutional
[] 4 Other
Ownership means the ownership with legal rights, i.e. the ownership of the house belongs to that person under whose name the house is registered, in which they are living currently. Some of the houses might not be legally registered and in this condition, the ownership of land corresponds to the ownership of the house. For the enumeration purpose, the ownership of house has been divided into four categories.
1. Private - During the enumeration time, if the entire house, part of it or flat, where the family is currently living, legally belongs to any of the members of the household/family, then it is considered private ownership. If the house where the family is living is entitled to use as legacy/inheritance but not transferred to them legally, in such condition it is also considered private ownership. If the house in which the family is living is private, mark the number 1 with circle.
2. Rented - If the house, part of the house or a flat, in which the family is currently living, does not belongs legally to any member of the family, and if rent (either money or goods or both) is paid for living in there, then it should be considered rented and accordingly mark the number 2 with a circle.
3. Institutional - If the family is living in a house without paying any rent, which belongs legally to an organized institution or office, then such house is an institutional house. If such house exists, mark the number 3 with circle. If any family living in a house without paying any rent, which do not belongs to any institution or office but the house are used on the terms and conditions that an institution or office shall bear the rent, then such house should be considered as an institutional house and number 3 should be marked with a circle.
4. Other - Besides the types of houses stated above, if a family lives in a house of different kind, e.g. the house or space provided by relatives or a person or the house owner and is living there without any obligation of paying rent (money or goods), then it should be stated in the category of other. If the house where the family is living does not belongs to them and also has not taken any permission to live there, it should be stated as other. In other words, the house does not belong to the family, they do not have to pay rent and it is also non-institutional, then circle the number 4 with other category and also specify what is the type of the house / living place.

Question #4
Tenure and monthly rent
a. How to carry out the investigation
The following definitions will allow the dwelling's tenure to be investigated correctly:
[p. 27]
Tenure is understood to be the arrangements by which the household occupies the place of abode. That is, the form in which the household possesses the dwelling.
Owned: The dwelling that belongs to a member of the household occupying that dwelling.
Included as owned are those dwellings that are being acquired via payments but are not completely paid for.
Rented: The dwelling that does not belong to a household member occupying that dwelling and that is being occupied through a payment of rent.
Monthly rent: If the dwelling is rented, the amount of monthly rent paid for the right of occupying the dwelling is requested.
Other forms of tenure: These are cases where the dwelling does not belong to a household member and is not rented. Such is the case for caretakers or employees whose dwelling is provided by the owner or company.
b. How to record the data
After the tenure is determined, an "X" is marked in the appropriate box. If the dwelling is rented, the amount of monthly rent is recorded in the space provided.

Section 6 - The census questions
Urban RNVs and rural villages
Question 25
Urban areas only: do you rent or own your house?
Question 25 applies to urban areas only
Tick the rent or own box, then tick the most appropriate box out of boxes 1 to 4.
For rent-free housing tick the rented box and still ask who the house is rented from.
If someone is paying a house off as opposed to renting it this is counted as ownership. It is possible that some people may confuse paying off with renting - in this case you will have to find out whether they really are paying the house off or whether it is rented.
Note: who the rent is paid to is not always the same person or organization that the house is rented from.
In this case you will have to make sure that you have the organization the house is rented from.
[pg.81]
Page Totals/Tallying
(i) Page Totals
[Figure omitted]
In the bottom right hand corner of the Census form you'll see a tally box for adding up the number of males and females that are on each form.
Simply add up the number of M's and F's from Question 5. Then add up the total number of entries in Question 5 and check that Males and Females = Total number of people.
(ii) The page number boxes
For each household you must fill in the page number boxes at the bottom of the form. These page number boxes let us know how many Forms have been used for each dwelling.
[Text omitted, example]
[pg.82]
(iii) Using more than one form for a household
If you interview a Household with more than 10 Residents, or more than 3 Visitors you will have to use a second page. You must remember these points when you use a second page.
Question 2 - Relationship
If a mother and son are not on the same census form give the page number of the mother when filling in question 2 for the son, e.g. S of 02/P.l. You must state the page number with all relationships if more than one census form is used.
Question 14B - Mothers Person Number
When writing the mother's person number in Ql4B you will have to give the page number if you used more than 1 form for the household.
(iv) The household questions
When you do have to use a second form for the one dwelling then the household questions (Questions 23, 24, 25, 26) do not have to be completed on the second form. Complete them on the first form only.
(v) Mistakes
If you make a mistake try to correct it neatly. Everyone makes some mistakes.
If the whole page for the family group is a mess, cross out the page very clearly and start a new page. Do NOT tear out the sheet which has been crossed. Leave it in the book.
[Figure omitted]
[pg.83]
(vi) Spare pages
You will often finish interviewing and have spare pages left over at the back of your book. Do not tear them out. Give the complete book to your supervisor.

Attention: Question 9 should only be answered by individuals who are living in the dwelling and are also the owners or co-owners of the dwelling.
Question 9 - Do you have a mortgage or loan resulting from the purchase of this dwelling:
"Yes" or "no" answer.
The most important aspect to answer this question correctly is to correctly identify what the mortgage or loan means.
We understand that one of the occupants is proprietary of the dwelling and has financial obligations with the mortgage or loan of this dwelling when the financial obligations arise from the acquisition of the dwelling only and not related to modifications or repairs of any kind done.
Note: in the case of a proprietary that answers "No" to this question, the filling-in of this questionnaire ends here.
Note: The following questions are destined only for tenants of conventional dwellings, so if you answer the question 10 the filling in of the questionnaire is over.

Question 11 - If you are a tenant, please indicate the form of lease
This question is only for dwellings where none of the occupants is proprietary or co-proprietary of the respective dwelling.
In other cases where the use of the dwelling is a free of charge (i.e. door men, guards, etc.), we must select the option "Other situation (granted, etc)".

[] 3 Social rent contract
[] 4 Sub-rented dwelling - go to 17
[] 5 Other situation (granted, etc) - go to 18
Question 15 - If you are a tenant, please indicate the form of lease:
This question is only for occupants who are not owners or co-owners of the respective dwellings.
3- or 5-year fixed-term contract - a contract in which at the end of the term (3 or 5 years), the amount of the rent may be renegotiated by the parties. If the parties fail to come to an agreement, the contract lapses and the tenant is required to leave the dwelling.
Renewable contract of indefinite duration - a contract which is automatically renewed and only terminates if the tenant wishes to leave the dwelling.
Council or subsidized rent contract - a contract in which the tenant is a public body and in which the amount of the rent was reduced in view of the need for social aid by the household.
If the dwelling is let to an individual who, in turn, lets it to a third person through payment of a rent, the dwelling is said to be sublet.
Cases involving the voluntary conveyance of the dwelling, (for example: a father owns a dwelling and transfers it free of charge to his son), as well as cases in which the occupancy of the dwelling is usually associated with a contract in which consideration is either directly or indirectly assigned to it, subject to the performance of a task (for example: doormen, watchmen, etc.), should be included under other situations.

The possession of the living place of the household means the fact that one of the member of the household lives in that living place and he/she is the owner, hire purchaser, or renter of the house. Also, he/she may live without paying rent because it is a part of the wage/salary of one member of the household, or the owner allows them to live in the house for free because they are relatives or friends.
Hire-purchasing means purchasing of a living quarter by installment according to a written agreement. When the payment is completed, then the buyer is considered the owner of that living place.

Staying free of charge means the household members are allowed to live in the house without giving anything in return, because they may be relatives or friends.

Section 11 - Housing
11.6. Type of tenure / ownership dwelling unit
The type of tenure of the dwelling unit refers to the conditions / living arrangements under which a private household occupies all or part of it. It is important to note that information on land will only be collected for those individuals who own their dwelling unit.
[p31]
Ten (10) categories are identified:
(i) Owned fully - This category applies to heads of households who possess legal title to the dwelling.
(ii) Owned with mortgage / loan - This category applies to heads of households who are in the process of buying the dwelling by means of having taken a mortgage/loan with a financial institution.
(iii) Rent to own - This is a situation where persons who are unable to qualify for a mortgage are allowed to occupy the property under a license-to-occupy agreement for a period of five (5) years with the option to afterwards purchase the property.
(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.
(vi) Rented government - Included in this concept is the situation where the head of the household or any other member rents the dwelling from the government or a government agency. Rental, although it may be covered by a contract, conveys the idea of payments being made monthly.
(vii) Leased private - A lease differs from a rental by an agreed contract, which stipulates payment in advance of the total rent for the dwelling during the entire duration of the contract. The arrangement is made with a private individual or group.
[p.32]
(viii) Leased government - A lease differs from a rental by an agreed contract, which stipulates payment in advance of the total rent for the dwelling during the entire duration of the contract. This arrangement is made with the government or a government agency.
(ix) Squatted - This applies when households are found occupying an area without permission of the owner or any legal rights to the dwelling.
(x) Other - This applies when households are occupying the dwelling under conditions different from those specified on the questionnaire, choose "Other (specify)?.." and specify the type of tenure/ownership.
No questionnaire text is available for this sample.

Question 6: As a household, do you own this house (dwelling) that you are living in?
This question seeks to ascertain if the household owns or does not own its house (dwelling). Just as this house (dwelling) that is being lived in may be the individual or joint property of the household head or his wife, it may also belong to one or several other members of this household. Based on the answer obtained to this question, if this house (dwelling) belongs to the household head or one of its members, place an "X" into the 1 "Yes" box, and if not into the 2 "No" box.
If the place that the household lives in is a tent, a [tree] hollow, a shack, a cave, etc., put the "X" into the "No" box.

Section III: Questions related to households and dwellings
Attention! Section III is to be filled out for places where a household [housing unit] is constituted.
Questions 1 to 12 in this section are to be asked of the household head or someone able to answer in his/her place.
Question 6: What is your ownership status with respect to this dwelling?
This question seeks to reveal the ownership status of the dwelling the household is living in. The box corresponding to the ownership status of the dwelling the household is living in is to be marked with an "X".
In this question an "X" is to be placed into the box for:
- "Home owner", if the household itself owns the dwelling it is living in,
- "Renter", if the household pays either in-kind or in cash (rent) for the dwelling it is living in,
- "Employee quarters" [lodgment], if the dwelling the household is living in is owned by the State or the employer being worked for,
- "Not home owner, but not paying rent", if the dwelling being lived in by the household does not belong to it, but it is not paying rent (For example: the house of a father, mother or relative, a caretaker's or heating maintenance person's flat in an apartment building, etc.),
- "Other", if the type of ownership of the dwelling the household is living in does not correspond to any of the above-specified statuses.

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.

7.3.1 Ownership
With respect to this dwelling, this dwelling is. . . ?
The objective is to know the dwelling tenancy regime that the interviewed household has. Read the questions in the order presented until receiving a response.
- owned
- part of a housing cooperative
- rented
- used or occupied
Based on the response selected the system displays, if it corresponds, the options that deepen our understanding of the tenancy regime.
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.
[p. 80]
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."

7.11. Tenure (Q-15).
Tenure is understood to mean the character of occupancy of the dwelling [p. 77] at the time of the census.
7.12.
A. Owner: When the Head of Household or other occupant is the owner of the property, both the structure and the ground or just the structure; whether it has been completely paid off or if it is still being paid for.
The owner will be asked if a mortgage is held and, if held, how much is paid monthly, in total, through amortization and interests.
Estimated Rents: If there is no mortgage, meaning that the property is held without lien, the owner will be asked to estimate the cost of rent, as if he/she had to pay it.
7.13.
B or C. Renter or sub-leaser: a) Renter is the case when the head of household pays rent, directly to the owner or to an administrator, for the family dwelling that is occupied. b) Sub-leaser is the case when a person or family subleases part of the dwelling (one or more rooms) from the principal renter, only when they do not share a common life with the primary family.
Monthly rent (in Bolívares).
For the dwelling occupied by a renter or sub-leaser the monthly amount of rent paid in bolívares is required, including any service or [p. 78] services provided by the owner. In the case that the dwelling is rented with furniture, record the rent as is, without taking into account this circumstance.
7.14.
D or E. Other form of tenure: This situation applies when the condition of occupancy is provided as part of a salary or provided without charge by a relative or friend etc. If the dwelling is provided as part of a salary, the tenant is asked to estimate how much in rent would be paid if it were to be paid separately. If the dwelling is provided without charge by relatives or friends, the occupant is asked to estimate the monthly cost of rent if it were to be paid by the occupant.

2.1 Tenure
This variable refers to the type of arrangement the household has in occupying the dwelling.
The contemplated categories are the following:
-- Owned, completely paid: When the dwelling has been acquired by the Head of Household or another member of the household and has been completely paid for by the time of enumeration.
-- Owned, still in payment: When the dwelling has been acquired by the Head of Household or another member of the household and is in the process of being paid for by the time of enumeration. This is, there is a written or verbal agreement to make payments for the acquisition of the dwelling (e.g. a mortgage or loan of any other kind linked to the acquisition of the dwelling). The amount paid monthly to cancel this debt is also investigated.
-- Rented: When the household inhabiting the dwelling pays a monthly rent in order to live in all or part of it. Included here are rent contracts, comodato [a type of contract that allows the use of something and requires the return of the object], or monthly payments for the occupation of the dwelling, even when there is no explicit contract. The amount of the monthly payment the household needs to cancel is also investigated.
-- Loaned: When the household inhabiting the dwelling does not pay rent because the dwelling is provided as part of a salary or by social services because of a natural disaster, or because it is the property of a family member or friend of the household.
-- Other: Any other form of occupation of the dwelling that is not ownership, loan, or rent. Included in this category are "invaded" dwellings.

Question 52: To whom does this dwelling belong?
The ownership of the dwelling is classified according to the following 7 categories:
Owner-occupied dwellings: this includes houses/flats that households constructed by themselves, bought, or were given/offered by others and are using for habitation.
Rented/borrowed from government: this comprises houses/flats where households have signed renting/borrowing contracts with government authorities, or where houses/flats that are owned by the government are distributed to government staff to use for habitation, but at the present the households have not bought it according to Government's Decree 61/CP. Houses/flats that households rented from the government as offices, factories, enterprises, etc. and were then transferred (or re-rented/sold) to others and currently are used for habitation, are counted as "Rented from government".
Rented from private: this comprises houses/flats that households rented/borrowed from private owners and are currently using for their habitation.
Cooperative ownership: this comprises houses/flats, which are under the ownership of cooperatives, production teams, groups of production cooperatives, etc., and are distributed to their members to use for habitation.
In ownership of religious organizations: this comprises houses/flats which are under the ownership of religious organizations and are distributed to their members to use for habitation.
Government and public joint ownership: this comprises houses/flats which were constructed by government organizations using both government funds and private funds, and are currently being used for habitation. In cases when houses/flats are under government ownership but rented by households, yet the household made some enlarging, renovating improvements, those houses/flats still belong to this type of ownership.
Unclear ownership: this comprises houses/flats which do not belong to one of the above mentioned categories such as: illegally occupied houses/flats and houses/flats where ownership is in dispute.
