<br />Read the question exactly as it is written. When the informant gives you the number of rooms, before you write them down, be sure that he or she has counted all of the rooms that exist in the dwelling, which means, the bedrooms, kitchen, living rooms, dining room, study rooms, storage room, etc., independently of whether those rooms are used by one or more households.

<p>You should be careful to register the data, considering that:</p>
<div class="i1">- In the independent dwelling, you should register the total of rooms of the structure identified as such.<br /><br /> - In the apartment, you should register the total of rooms of each apartment and not the total of apartments in the building.</div><span class="pg">[p. 36]</span><div class="i1">- In the room in a rooming house or tenement, you should register the total number of rooms occupied by the household or households and not the total number of rooms that the building has in all.<br /><br />- In the transitory shelter, you should register the total number of rooms that the household or the households occupy and not the total number of rooms that the building has as in all.<br /><br />- In the case presented about the administrator of the hotel, you should only register the rooms that he and his family occupy and not the total number of rooms in the building.</div><p>Below we present the illustration of a dwelling in which you can see five rooms.</p>
