<p>Question 37 - Tenancy</p>
<div class="i1">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: -<br />[1] Owned <br />This category applies when the head or any other member of the household owns the dwelling/land, or is in the process of buying the dwelling land. <br />[2] Rented-private <br />Included in this concept is the situation where the head of the household or any other member rents the dwelling/land from an individual or a company. Rental, although it may be covered by a contract, conveys the idea of payments being made monthly. <br />[3] Rented-government <br />This applies if the head of the household or any other member rents the dwelling/land from government or government agency. <br />[4] Leased <br />A lease differs from a rental by an agreed contract which stipulates, in advance, the total rental sum for the dwelling/land during a fixed duration of the contract. This total sum may be paid in advance or by installments. <br />[5] Rent-free <br />When the head of the household does not pay a rent for the occupancy of the dwelling/land by the household, a tick should be scored in this box.<br />[6] Squatted <br />This applies when households are found occupying a building or dwelling unit/land without permission of the owner or any legal rights to property. <br />[7] Other <br />This description refers to situations where the head or members of the household are occupying the dwelling/land under conditions different from those specified above.</div>
