Question No. 16: What type of lighting does the dwelling have?

If the respondent declares that they do not pay any amount, since it is include in the rent payment, mark "9998".
Remember that the value is registered in round numbers, without decimals; if the person declares a value including decimal numbers, proceed in the following manner: if those are equal or higher than 0.5 you must round up. Example:
a) Regular monthly payment for electricity: B/. 17.55. Register: B/. 18.
b) Regular monthly payment for electricity: B/ 32.08.
If the fractional part is less than 0.5, this must be omitted [round down]. For example, register B/. 32.
