Number 28: Tenure of living place of the household (excluding land)
Ask: "What is the possession status of the person in this household?"
Select one of the following answers: owner, hire purchaser, renter, or the person lives without paying rent because it is a part of salary/wages or because the owner allows him/her to live in the house for free.
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 without paying rent because it is part of the wage refers to the living places such as worker housing in the factory, government-officer housing, railway officer housing, soldier and policeman housing, or security-guard housing, etc.
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.
The living place of household in this case refers to the house only, and it excludes land.
