This field concerns the residential units constructed with bricks, stone, blocks, mud or concrete blocks only. The ownership of the residential unit is limited to constructed unit and not the land.
If the ownership of the residential unit depends on the household the sign is put in the square (1) opposite to the word (possession).
If the residential unit is rented from the private sector the sign is put in square (2) opposite to the word (rent) and so on. Some residential units are owned by a factory or a private establishment (private sector) and it is rented by its employees or others, the sign is put in square (2) opposite to the word (rent).
As for the square that carries number (3) which is opposite to the word (others) is indicated by the sign (x) in the cases that the residential unit of the household is without monthly rent and also for the residential units that belonged to the private sector, for example a household that dwells in a residential unit that is owned by the father of the head of the household or one of his relatives and the household doesn't pay any monthly rent.
