Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">26. Title or deed</span>
<br />This question identifies whether the owner has the deed or title for the house, or if the document is not under his/her name. Read the question replacing the name of the person stated in the question "Owner's name", for example:</p>
<div class="i1">[] If they gave you only the name of a person: Is the deed or title of the dwelling under the name of Rogelio?<br />[] If they gave you the names of two persons: Is the deed or title of the dwelling under the names of Isabel and Mario?</div><p>[Figures are omitted]</p>
<p>Generally, the tittle of a dwelling is a public document signed by a notary in which one or more persons are credited as legal owners of the house. Register "yes" when the title is under the name of the owner who resides in the dwelling; also register "yes" if they only have the land title because they built the dwelling or they ordered the construction of the dwelling. If you registered two persons as owners and the title is under the name of one of them, register that the title is under her/his name. It is not necessary that they show you a document or that you request to see it.</p>
<p>Circle "No" if they respond that the title is under the name of a person who does not live in the dwelling or if they comment: "the dwelling is under my dad's name, but he died", "the dwelling is under my ex-husband's name", or "the dwelling is under my daughter's name, but she does not live here anymore".</p>
<p>Mark the option "there is no deed/title" if the informant indicates it or if he/she states that are in the process to get it, or if they only have a receipt or purchase agreement.
<br />Circle the option "does not know" only when the informant definitely does not know the answer.
