Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="NP01A027"><span class="em">Q.2. What kind of house ownership does the household hold?</span><br /><br /><div class="i1">[] 1. Own<br />[] 2. Rented<br />[] 3. Others</div><br /><br />House ownership refers to legal ownership; the ownership belongs to the person whose name the house is registered in. In rural areas, usually houses are not registered legally, so house ownership can be in regard to land ownership. House ownership is split into three types:<br /><div class="i1">1. Own - At the time of the enumeration if the residence of the household, house, part of the house or flat is in the legal ownership of any household member, then it is considered owned. If the place of residence of the household member is the ancestral home but legally the registration is not yet transferred, then the house ownership is considered as owned.<br /><br />2. Rent - The house of residence, part of the house or the flat is not in the ownership of the any member of the household; and if rent is paid (cash/kind) for living there, then the house should be understood as rented. If rent is paid for living in a house, then code number 2 should be marked.<br /><br />3. Others - If the place of residence is at the place of a relative's house, the place provided by the proprietor, organization or house owner of work, and the house rent should not be paid in cash/kinds, then the house should be depicted as "other". If the house of residence is not of one's own and the permission of authorized person is also not necessary for residing there, then in that case it is marked as "other". In other words, if the house does not belong to the household and the rent is not to be paid either, then code 3 should be marked and the type of residence should be recorded.</div><br /></svar>
