Question 15:- What is the type of tenure of the housing unit?
This refers to how the residents hold the housing unit and there are various possibilities for such a case. A housing unit is said to be privately owned by the members of the household/residents of none of them pay any money in the form of rent. The housing unit may be rented from Kebele, Rental Houses Agency or from other organization or individual and, therefore, the codes 3 - 6 should be marked accordingly. A case may also arise where individuals pay a rent difference due to the reason that the rent of the housing unit is which they are currently residing is higher than the rent of the housing unit they used to live in before. In such a case the enumerator should mark code 7.
A housing unit is also said to be held free of rent if it is given to the household without any rent from kebele, government, or other organizations or from relatives, friends, etc.
The enumerator is thus, expected to mark the correct code from the given alternatives.

2 = Free of rent
3 = Rented from kebele
