Question 5: This (main) house/apartment belongs to whom?
The ownership of the house is categorized according to the following 6 groups:
1) Private houses of the households: These include houses/apartments that the household has built, bought, inherited, or been given, and currently occupies.
2) Houses that are rented from the government: These include houses/apartments for which the households have contracts to rent from the government, based on the time and price that both sides have agreed to. Also included are houses/apartments the government built and distributed to officials and workers for use as residences.
Houses/apartments that the officers rent or lease from the government, organizations, enterprises etc., but have now been rented or sold at a discount to other officials, are also considered to be "Houses that are rented from the government."
3) Houses that are rented from private parties: These include houses/apartments that are rented or borrowed from private parties and are actually lived in, based on the time and price both sides agree to.
4) Houses that belong to groups/religious groups: These include houses/apartments that are built by groups and corporations, by religious groups or managed by religious groups, and are distributed to members of these organizations to live and actually lived in.
5) Houses that are jointly built by the government and people: These include houses/apartments that were partially built with government funds and private capital, and these were distributed to households that contributed and are being used as residences.
6) Houses with unknown owners: These include houses/apartments that do not belong to groups 1 to 5 above, houses/apartments taken from the government/groups/individuals, and houses over which people are fighting to gain ownership and are under arbitration.
