Q.23: Nature of occupancy of house, flat or rooms
You should check that a tick has been inserted in one, and only one of the spaces provided. Cases will sometimes be met of two distinct households occupying a single house and a separate Form A will be completed for each household. While the first household might own the house (so that a tick should be inserted in Space 5 or 6), the second household might be renting a portion of the house from the first household (so that on their Form the tick should be in Space 2 or 3, as appropriate) or living free of rent (when the tick should be in Space 7).
