Description

HOMERENTDOC indicates whether the household has a written document establishing the rental of their dwelling.

The information in HOMERENTDOC is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, HOMERENTDOC is largely comparable across samples.

Comparability - Standard DHS

HOMERENTDOC is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS household questionnaire.
