Interviewer instructions
4. Possession of household's living place (not including the land)
This refers to possession of the house for which people living in that particular household are owner, hire purchaser, renters, or live without paying rent because it is part of their wage. In all other cases, the owner allows a person to stay without paying rent.
4.1 Owner
This is a person in the household with legal right to live in a particular place. In the case that a buyer of a house has not paid the entire cost of the house to the seller but instead transfers his property right as mortgage in a bank, the buyer is considered owner of that particular place.
4.2 Hire purchasing
This is the buying of a living place which is paid for by installments according to a written agreement. When payment is completed, the buyer is considered owner of the living place.
4.3 Rent
This refers to a person living in the household without being the owner or hire purchaser and has to pay rent to the owner.
4.4 Staying without paying rent
This happens when:
a) Rent is part of the wage. Such is the case for officer's housing, night watcher's housing, factory housing, teacher's housing, railway officer's housing, soldier's and policeman's housing, or private housing where a government office or a private company rents for a government officer or governmental personnel. This includes a living quarter in the office or in a building.
b) Staying free of charge, this means living in a house or room without paying any money.
