<span class="h3">Characteristics of dwelling unit occupied by household</span></p>

<p><span class="em">Question 51 - Tenancy</span></p>

<p>Tenure refers to the legal and financial arrangements under which a household is occupying its living quarters and the land on which it stands. The pre-coded categories are as follows:</p>
<div class="i1">01. Owned: This category applies when the head or any other member of the household owns the dwelling unit or is in the process of buying the dwelling unit.<br /><br />02. Rented - private: Included in this concept is the situation where the head of the household or any other member rents the dwelling unit from an individual or a company. Rental, although it may be covered by a contract, conveys the idea of payments being made monthly.<br /><br />03. Rented - government: This applies if the head of the household or any other member rents the dwelling unit from government or government agency.<br /><br />04. Leased private and 05. Leased government: A lease differs from a rental by an agreed contract, which stipulates, in advance, the total rental sum for the dwelling unit during a fixed duration of the contract. This total sum may be paid in advance or by installments. Both government and private leases are captured.<br /><br />06. Rent-free: When the head of the household does not pay a rent for the occupancy of the dwelling unit by the household, a tick should be made in this box.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p.69]</span><br /><br />07. Squatted: This applies when households are found occupying a building or dwelling unit without permission of the owner or any legal rights to property.<br /><br />77. Other: This description refers to situations where the head or members of the household are occupying the dwelling unit under conditions different from those specified above.</div><p>Note: 51 (b) is only applicable to those individuals who owned their dwelling unit.
