Description
Definition
This variable indicates the amount of the household's monthly contract rent payment. For vacant units (included beginning in 1970), RENT reports the amount for which landlord expected to rent the unit. This amount includes utilities, fuels, etc. only if they were included in the rent contract. Respondents were to report the full contract amount, even if payments were delinquent or made by someone outside the household.
Universe
Renter-occupied or vacant-to-rent units, not one-family houses on 10+ acres; not group quarters
