H8 Monthly Rental of Housing Unit and/or Lot
The information on monthly rental of housing unit and/or lot is used in reviews of government housing policy, and in considering matters such as the need for rent controls. It enables analysis of income level to rental level for particular groups.
Ask the question in H8, " How much does this household pay monthly for rental?" only if entry in H4 and/or H7 is code 2 (rented).
The total monthly rental of the housing unit should exclude rental for furnishings and payment for electricity and water. Rental for the housing unit which includes furnishings and/or payment for electricity and water, can be estimated by subtracting the estimated rental for furnishings and/or amount for the consumption of water and electricity from the total monthly rental.
Report the monthly rental even if the rent is still unpaid or paid by someone who is not a household member.
Enter the code corresponding to the monthly rental of housing unit and/or lot.
