In the housing department, it is specified that the criterion of being a tenant is only the data of the National Real Estate and Housing System, and free residence is not considered a tenant; Also, the owners who rent out their property and are tenants elsewhere are still considered owners.

According to the notified guidelines, the country's tax affairs organization is obliged to provide the Ministry of Cooperation with access to the "Economic Portfolio of Iranians" in order to verify the financial status of individuals based on a set of income, property and banking indicators.

The executive bodies, including the Central Bank, the Tax Administration, Faraja, the Stock Exchange Organization, the Ministry of Oil and Energy, and the Document Registration Organization, have been required to exchange data regularly.
