Question 1P. Type of dwelling
The code is to be marked, which corresponds to the prompt wanted.
"Detached house" is to be marked when one household occupies the whole one-flat house (irrespective of ownership).
If two or more households live in such a house, for each "part of detached house" is to be marked, even if the house is owned by one person.
If a house comprises two or more flats, then in accordance with the type of occupancy the items "separate flat" or "shared flat " are to be marked.
If one household occupies a separate flat, the item "separate flat" is to be marked.
The separate flat is a dwelling used and equipped for permanent residence, which consists of one or more rooms, is separated from other premises by main walls (or by double partitions), and has a separate exit to the staircase, common hall or passage or directly to the street or yard, and is occupied by one household.
If more than one household lives in a flat, the item "shared flat" is to be marked (even if only one customer account exists for the flat). The same item is to be marked for households living in the corridor-type houses, which are not hostels.
If a household lives in a detached house or in a separate flat, but only occupies part of the floor space of the house or flat and gives the remaining part in rent, this household is to be considered to live in a detached house or separate flat.
For households living in hostels (irrespective of the type of building: whether apartment, corridor, sector or hut type), the item "hostel" is to be marked.
"Boarding house for the aged and invalids, children's home, etc." is to be marked for people living in boarding houses (homes) for the aged, invalids and children-invalids, infant's and children's homes, boarding-schools for orphans and children without parental care, etc. (excluding the service staff).
"Other institutions" is to be marked for those living in monasteries, military barracks, etc.
If a household lives in a trailer, hovel, tent, etc., the item "other dwelling" is to be marked.
"Non-residential premises used for human habitation" is to be used for households living in garages, stockrooms, school classrooms, booths, stables, etc.
"Homeless" is to be marked for persons without permanent residence (tramps). They carry their small property along and sleep in the street, in porches or in other places, all those places being more or less casual for them.
