This question is related to the occupancy status of the dwelling's residents in its totality or in part.
Owner or co-owner: this includes situations in which a dwelling is occupied completely or partially by the owner, likewise in situations where the dwelling is property of more than one person.
Owner- deed holder of the dwelling property and has total and exclusive rights to its use, attainment and sale.
Co-Owner- deed holder of the property for a dwelling, collectively with one or more people.
Owner under a collective property regime of a housing cooperative - situations where the ownership is collective with maintenance done by the members of the housing cooperative within the dwellings.
A member of a housing cooperative is someone who is given rights to live in a dwelling in exchange for dues and maintenance to the property of the cooperative dwelling.
Tenant or sub-tenant - Situations in which a written or verbal agreement exists that allows a person to occupy, all or part of, a dwelling in exchange for a regular payment.
Tenant - household member who is given the right to temporary use of the dwelling, in whole or part, in exchange for a regular rent payment.

In situations where a dwelling occupancy status is composed of people with different conditions, the ownership must be determined by the dwelling representative, or rather the household representative.
When, in the same dwelling, there is more than one household, the ownership will be considered as the representative of the "primary" household (household number 1).
