Includes also housing units which are being amortized or on mortgage; b) Rented - the occupant actually pays rent either in cash or in kind; c) Being occupied for free with consent of owner - the household occupies the housing unit with owner's permission and without paying any rent in cash or in kind to the owner, tenant/lessee or subtenant/sublessee. These are usually the households of farm tenants or lessees who occupy rent-free houses belonging to the owner of the land they farm; also those employees given free housing as part of fringe benefits but must vacate the housing unit upon separation from work; and d) Being occupied for free without consent of owner - the household occupies the housing unit without the consent or knowledge of the owner.
