# Dwelling Status

A dwelling status must be entered for each address during address entry, so at least one dwelling status must be defined. Dwelling status can also be used as a selection criterion in Targeted Marketing. For example, you might want to send a flyer only to addresses with a dwelling status of “occupied”.

Business Rules determine the default dwelling status that will appear when an address is added (the default can be overridden).

#### To define a dwelling status:

* Select Dwelling Status from the Address menu to display the Dwelling Status screen.<br>
