Landuse=residential ? Normally a village/town/city is marked this way. 
But you could tag each individual property if you wanted to .. But why? 
If your identifying property boundaries then there maybe a legal 
responsibility .. are you taking that on?I'd never bother tagging each 
individual property - too much work .. and who will use it?

Mark out the building itself as an area and tag building=yes (or house 
if that is the case). Same as any other building ... This I do for any 
significant building .. but not for normal homes ..In some places they 
might be mapped .. but there are large areas of the world yet to have 
the main features mapped.Having said that .. improve the map what ever 
way pleases you.

>   Also how can you tag a private property which is unused?
  Same as previous .. with a note 'unused' .. thought what does that 
mean? Abandoned house? There is a tag 'disused'? somewhere, might be 
applicable? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:disused
