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.

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."
