Glossary Definition

Tenure
Refers to whether some member of the household owns or rents the dwelling, or whether the dwelling is Band housing (on an Indian Reserve or settlement). A dwelling is classified as “owned” even if it is not fully paid for, such as one which has a mortgage or some other claim on it. A dwelling is classified as “rented” even if it is provided without cash rent or a reduced rent or if the dwelling is part of a cooperative. (Source: Statistics Canada)
