Study title

Every year, Statistics Norway conducts the Rental Market Survey to compile statistics on rental rates for different types of housing in different parts of the country. The survey is called Housing and Living Conditions (BOB) when we contact tenants. The name Housing and Living Conditions is used to simplify communication about the survey as tenants are to report on their own housing and not on the rental market in general. The population of the BOB is all rental housing settled by private households in Norway. The drawing framework is created from the registers we have available in Statistics Norway. The 2019 selection was established by subtracting 37,000 addresses from the established draw frame of estimated rental housing. Selection unit is the address of the assumed rental home, and the answering unit is the person residing at the address. BOB is conducted as a pure web survey. The survey was conducted in 2019 over three weeks, starting October 1st. /
