Tenure Type

Definition : Tenure type indicates the basis on which an individual occupies the property in which they live. The main distinctions are between socially rented, privately rented and owned.

Recording Guidance : For the purposes of Social Care data recording under categories 01 (Owned) and 02 (Social Rented), an established couple (i.e. data subject plus spouse or long-term partner) is treated as a single unit whether the owning or renting is done by one of them or jointly, as in the following circumstances:

the data subject owns or rents the property
the data subject’s spouse or partner owns or rents the property
the data subject owns or rents the property jointly with a spouse or partner

A person living rent-free in someone else’s private house (other than a spouse or partner) would be coded 03 – “Private Accommodation Arrangements”, not 00 – “No Tenure”.
