Justification of “Private Rental Survey” Questions
OS-2000 “Private Rental Survey, Houses/Apartments/Mobile Homes”
Survey Community and State – (contractor provides) used for verification of contract requirements; variable in statistical regression
Address of Housing Sample – physical address of comparable selected, used for verification of contract requirements
City and State – physical address of comparable selected, used for verification of contract requirements
Zip Code – physical address of comparable selected, used for verification of contract requirements
Name of Owner/Agent – used by contractor for follow up questions; used for verification of contract requirements; may be used for future surveys
Address of Owner/Agent – used by contractor for follow up questions; used for verification of contract requirements; may be used for future surveys
Owner/Agent Phone – used by contractor for follow up questions; used for verification of contract requirements; may be used for future surveys
Survey ID Number – (contractor provides) unique sequential identifier
Community Code – (IBC and contractor provides) 6-character identifier for survey community; related data field used for heating/cooling utility cost estimates where heating fuel and/or electricity are paid for by the landlord (see question 17)
Year Constructed – age of the unit is a variable in the regression analysis
Gross Finished Floor Space of Each Individual Housing Unit (Square Feet) – size of the unit is a variable in the regression analysis. Contractor verifies square feet by providing an exterior sketch and square foot calculation. Whether a basement or second floor exists (square feet of finished Basement/First Floor/Second Floor) is used to determine the energy efficiency “design prototype” of the unit. This is used for heating/cooling utility cost estimates where heating fuel and/or electricity are paid for by the landlord (see question 17)
Gross Unfinished Basement Space – size of the unit, including unfinished space, is used for heating/cooling utility cost estimates where heating fuel and/or electricity are paid for by the landlord (see question 17)
Number of Bedrooms – a variable in the regression analysis
Number of Rooms – confirmation of efficiency/studio apartments or houses
Interior Condition – a variable in the regression analysis
Primary Heating Energy – used for heating cost estimates where heating fuel and/or electricity are paid for by the landlord (are “Yes” in Electricity/Heating Fuel in Question 15)
Central Cooling System – a variable in the regression analysis; also used for cooling cost estimates where electricity is paid for by the landlord (see question 17)
Window Cooling – used for cooling cost estimates where electricity is paid for by the landlord (see question 17)
Rent Class – a variable in the regression analysis
Appliances Furnished by Landlord – contributory value of each appliance is removed from Monthly Contract Rental Rate (question 21) to establish a “Base Rent” for the regression analysis
Services Paid for by Landlord – contributory value of each service/utility is removed from Monthly Contract Rental Rate (question 21) to establish a “Base Rent” for the regression analysis. Service/Utility costs are estimated based on values reported in 2, 3, 9, 10 and 11.
Furnishings Provided by Landlord – contributory value of furnishings are removed from Monthly Contract Rental Rate (question 21) to establish a “Base Rent” for the regression analysis
Free Standing Stove – contributory value of the stove is removed from Monthly Contract Rental Rate (question 21) to establish a “Base Rent” for the regression
Monthly Contract Rent – a variable in the regression analysis
Completed By – (contractor provides) name of individual contractor who completed the OS-2000 form; used for contractor follow up and pay records
Date – (contractor provides) date the OS-2000 form was completed by respondent
OS-2001 “Private Rental Survey, Houses/Apartments/Mobile Homes”
Survey Community and State – (contractor provides) used for verification of contract requirements; variable in statistical regression
Street Address of Park – physical address of comparable selected, used for verification of contract requirements
City and State – physical address of comparable selected, used for verification of contract requirements
Zip Code – physical address of comparable selected, used for verification of contract requirements
Name of Trailer Park – used by contractor for follow up questions; used for verification of contract requirements; may be used for future surveys
Manager or Owner’s Name – used by contractor for follow up questions; used for verification of contract requirements; may be used for future surveys
Manager/Agent Phone – used by contractor for follow up questions; used for verification of contract requirements; may be used for future surveys
Survey ID Number – (contractor provides) unique sequential identifier
Total Square Feet (single wide sites only) – confirmation of pad construction; verification of contract requirements
Monthly Contract Rent (single wide sites only) – a variable in the regression analysis
Year Trailer Park Constructed – confirmation of pad construction; verification of contract requirements
Trailer Pad Construction confirmation of pad construction; verification of contract requirements
Services Paid for by Landlord – contributory value of each service/utility is removed from Monthly Contract Rent (question 2) to establish a “Base Rent” for the regression analysis
Completed By – (contractor provides) name of individual contractor who completed the OS-2001 form; used for contractor follow up and pay records
Date – (contractor provides) date the OS-2001 form was completed by respondent
