Rental market survey, 2018

Statistics Norway carries out the rental market survey every year in order to prepare statistics on rental prices 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 housing conditions are used to simplify the communication about the survey as tenants must report on their own housing and not on the rental market in general.

The population in BOB is all rental housing resident of private households in Norway. Since there is no complete register of rental housing, one must use a combination of various central administrative registers in Statistics Norway as a basis for establishing a sample framework with the largest possible proportion of rental housing. The sample in 2018 was established by drawing 37,000 addresses from the established drawing frame of assumed rental housing. The selection unit is the address of the assumed rental property, and the response unit is the person who lives at the address.

BOB is carried out as a pure web survey. The survey was conducted in 2018 over three weeks, starting on October 1.

挪威统计总局（Statistics Norway）每年都会开展租赁市场调查，旨在编制该国不同地区不同类型住房的租赁价格统计数据。

在接洽租户时，该调查被命名为“住房与生活状况（Housing and Living Conditions，BOB）”。鉴于租户需上报的是自身的住房情况，而非整体租赁市场状况，因此采用“住房及居住条件”这一名称以简化调查相关的沟通工作。

BOB的调查总体为挪威所有私人家庭中的租赁住房居住者。由于目前尚无完整的租赁住房登记系统，挪威统计总局需结合多套中央行政登记资料，以此为基础构建抽样框架，尽可能提升抽样框架内租赁住房的占比。2018年的调查样本通过从预设的潜在租赁住房抽样框中抽取37000个地址生成。抽样单位为潜在租赁房产的地址，应答单位为居住在该地址的人员。

BOB采用纯网络调查的方式开展。2018年的调查于10月1日启动，为期三周。
