In the case of the occupied dwelling you must mark the option that corresponds according to the status of possession, according to the following categories:
[p. 109]
Owned and totally paid: in these cases the dwelling has already been paid off.
Owned and making payments: it belongs to one of the persons of the dwelling but is not completely paid, but rather requires monthly payments in the form of a loan or mortgage on the property.
Rented: the habitants of this dwelling pay a third person a determined quantity in order to reside within.
Borrowed for work purposes: in this case the dwellings have been conceded to workers that reside within while the labor relation to the boss persists. These dwellings lodge private households.
Borrowed for other reasons (without pay): dwellings that have been borrowed or conceded to habitants for different reasons, other than work. This dwelling is used with the authorization of the owner without negotiating any payment in return for the use of the dwelling.
Precarious condition: the dwellings that are found located in terrains that have been occupied without mediating for them through legal mechanisms of possession are included in this category. This deals with what is commonly known as land dispossession. Because of this situation, the dwelling could have been built by its inhabitants but, for being in a terrain that does not belong to them, this cannot be considered "owned." Keep in mind that "precarious" is not a synonym for shanty and as such cannot be confused with the shanty category.
Other: the location of a dwelling is found in structures such as mobile homes, trucks, etc.
