Question #4

Tenure and monthly rent

a. How to carry out the investigation
The following definitions will allow the dwelling's tenure to be investigated correctly:

[p. 27]

Tenure is understood to be the arrangements by which the household occupies the place of abode. That is, the form in which the household possesses the dwelling.

Owned: The dwelling that belongs to a member of the household occupying that dwelling.

Included as owned are those dwellings that are being acquired via payments but are not completely paid for.

Rented: The dwelling that does not belong to a household member occupying that dwelling and that is being occupied through a payment of rent.

Monthly rent: If the dwelling is rented, the amount of monthly rent paid for the right of occupying the dwelling is requested.

Other forms of tenure: These are cases where the dwelling does not belong to a household member and is not rented. Such is the case for caretakers or employees whose dwelling is provided by the owner or company.

b. How to record the data
After the tenure is determined, an "X" is marked in the appropriate box. If the dwelling is rented, the amount of monthly rent is recorded in the space provided.

c. Example:
