Question B.6
How much is the space of your dwelling unit (sq/m)?
Here the total space of dwelling unit in the square meter is written in total figures without decimal figures. The writing is done in figures (for example 5, 13, 44, 105 and so on).
The total space of the personal house or dormitory is determined by the total square meter of the rooms and additional buildings (kitchens, halls, bathrooms, cellars) including the square meter of the additional closets and halls.
For those who live in dormitories the total square meter of the rooms they use in the dormitory determines the space of the place they use.
In the dormitories the space of the additional buildings used by the dweller is determined by dividing the total sum of the square meter into the number of beds/places.
For example, if the space of the additional buildings of the dormitory is 506 sq./m and the number of the beds is 103, then 5sq/m (4,913, which is rounded) falls to each person.
The space of the staircases, halls, entrances, stuck out buildings and the places used by stoves, additional buildings that are not heated (balcony, attic, veranda) is not included in the total space of the building.
In the total square meter of the dormitories, nursing homes, boarding schools, orphanages the square meter of the rooms of security, serving personnel, teachers, nurses and the buildings of everyday repairs and other necessities (reception area, hairdressing saloon, shop) is not included in the total space of the building.
The dwelling space comprises of the square meter of the all used rooms in the house and does not include the space of the inbuilt closets. If the household uses only the part of the room then the space of the whole room must be written which is used by the household (for example, if three people live in dormitory in 15sq/m space and each of them is a separate household, then 5sq/m of space belongs to each household.
If the household occupies the part of the space and the other part is to be let for rent then the whole space that household occupies is written.
If any of the conveniences is missing temporarily in the dwelling unit (because of being out of order, being under repair or for other reasons), then the building is considered to be equipped with that type of the conveniences.
