1.4. Housing

This second part is devoted to housing, and aims at listing all housing units for the households at time of the census, at gathering information on building characteristics, and to obtain indicators on the conditions in which the population is housed.




10. Column H24: Type of occupancy

One shall determine in what capacity the household head occupies the dwelling unit. Possible cases are:

[] 1 Landlord, with a deed
[] 2 Landlord, without a deed
[] 3 Condominium (shared property)
[] 4 Tenant (Renting)
[] 5 Leasing
[] 6 Free lodging
[] 7 Others


The main following definitions may be useful to you:


a. Landlord: this is the person who owns the dwelling unit concerned. He or she is the legal owner of the real estate, and may, as a consequence, rent or sell the whole or parts of the dwelling unit.

b. Tenant: This is a person who occupies a dwelling unit while paying periodically (per week, per month, etc...) a given amount of money, called the rent.

c. Others: This category includes the persons housed for free, the households who occupy the dwelling unit of an absentee landlord without paying a rent, or without the authorization of the latter, as well as the other cases not defined in the above categories.


Refer to these definitions, and go ask to the household head the following question: "In which title does the household occupy the dwelling unit?" Circle the number corresponding to the typical case.

Example 1: A household rents in a compound a 3-rooms dwelling unit. Then Column H24 will be filled as (4): Tenant
