2. Number of Housing Units in the Building:
Explanation: For the number of housing units in the building, the original allocation applies. For example, if an entire apartment was converted into an office, it is to be counted both as a housing unit and as a local unit of employment.
The question about condominiums is to be answered only for buildings containing more than two housing units: all condominiums as defined in the Condominium Act are to be indicated here; condominiums that are rented out are also to be counted here.
Involving a control question: With the help of this data, you should be able to verify if all housing unit data forms are present at the end.
[p. 47]
Also for one family homes or duplexes, the number of housing units present (one or two respectively) in this building is to be recorded and the appropriate number of housing unit data forms should be filled out.
This question serves completeness control. The final determination of the number of housing units in a building conforms to the number of housing unit data forms submitted, which is why the delivery of housing unit data forms for vacant housing units is also of great importance.
With the question about the number of condominiums, the legal situation should be surveyed.
Condominiums need not be occupied by the owner; rather the owner can also rent them out. The number of rented condominiums, that is of an important housing political size, can be obtained in connection with the data on the housing unit data form.
