China-Singapore Jingwei Client, December 16th (Xiong Jiali, Dong Xiangyi) Currently, the number of people renting houses in China has exceeded 200 million. However, since this year, more than 30 parents have had problems in renting apartments, which has caused great trouble to tenants. .
How to make the wandering "strike workers" live in peace of mind has become the focus of the regulatory authorities.
Guangzhou and other 5 places issued documents to regulate the housing rental market
According to incomplete statistics from Sino-Singapore Jingwei, since November, at least five places including Chongqing, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Xi'an, and Guangzhou have issued documents to regulate the housing rental market. These cities have their own policies.
Among them, in terms of rent supervision, Chongqing pointed out that if the rent paid by the lessee to the housing leasing company exceeds three months, the rent received by the housing leasing company and the funds obtained in the form of house leasing loans should be monitored.
Where the lessee pays the rent to the housing leasing company within three months, the lessee decides on its own whether to deposit the rent in the supervision account for management.
The rent deposited in the supervision account shall be transferred to the housing leasing company on a monthly basis in the month following the signing of the housing leasing fund supervision agreement by the housing leasing company, the lessee and the undertaking bank.
Some long-term rental apartments adopt "high-in-low-out" and "long-term income and short-term payment", causing problems such as "running off the road", which has attracted the attention of government departments and the society.
Shenzhen and Wuhan have made it clear that housing leasing companies must not maliciously increase or reduce rental prices and infringe on the long-term legitimate rights and interests of housing rights holders and tenants by means of "high input and low output", "long income and short payment".
Once discovered, the housing management department will issue relevant industry risk warnings.
At the same time, housing leasing companies must not require tenants to use housing rental consumption loans through concealment, deception, or forcing, and must not induce tenants to use housing rental consumption loans in the name of rent installment or rent concessions, and must not embed relevant content of housing rental consumption loans. Housing lease contract.
"High entry and low exit" means that the rent paid to the owner of the house is higher than the rent collected from the lessee. "Long receipt and short payment" means that the period of collecting the rent from the lessee is longer than the period of paying the rent to the owner of the house.
At the same time, Shenzhen and Wuhan also require in the new regulations that if the housing leasing dispute between housing leasing companies and housing owners or tenants cannot be resolved through negotiation, they shall be resolved through legal channels such as people’s mediation, litigation, and arbitration, and no threat of violence shall be adopted. Violent means such as intimidation, water and electricity cuts to expel tenants.
In addition, Xi’an plans to classify the credit of housing leasing companies, and at the same time, it plans to stipulate that the credit score is directly obtained if the funds are defrauded by fraudulent rentals, false online signing records, etc., and the rental housing is seized at a significantly higher price than the market price, which causes adverse social impact. The deduction is zero and is included in the "blacklist"; if employees are involved in criminal offenses in the process of leasing and operating services, their credit points are directly deducted to zero, and personnel and enterprises are directly included in the blacklist.

Expert: Regulate the leasing market and protect the rights of tenants and landlords
Yan Yuejin, research director of the Think Tank Center of E-House Research Institute, told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client that similar regulations have prevented "explosion" incidents and protected tenants and landlords, especially the rights of tenants.
The tenants themselves trust these types of long-term rental apartments, but if there is no better protection, they will lose their confidence in renting.
Chen Xiao, an analyst at the Zhuge Housing Data Research Center, pointed out that for tenants and landlords, strengthening the leasing market supervision and standardizing the leasing industry will protect their legitimate rights and interests to help reduce the occurrence of rights protection incidents.
The recently promulgated leasing market management regulations involve strengthening the establishment of a credit management system and strengthening the supervision of housing leasing funds. It shows the government’s determination to regulate the order of the housing leasing market and plug the loopholes in the supervision of long-term rental apartments. Chaos has a certain positive effect.
From the perspective of future policy trends, strengthening the supervision of leasing funds will become an important direction.
Li Yujia, the chief researcher of the Guangdong Provincial Housing Policy Research Center, also holds the same view. He told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client that the future policy direction is to strengthen the supervision of long-term apartment rental loans. The rent loans must be controlled at a certain percentage, and not Let small loan institutions participate in this form of usury.
What should the tenant do if there is a problem with a long-term apartment?
Zhuge Finding a Housing Data Research Center pointed out that don't be too panic and keep a calm mind. First, you can negotiate a solution with the organization. If you find no results, you can also actively use legal channels to protect your rights.
In the event of a landlord's expulsion, tenants can protect their legal rights through judicial procedures.
In the case of losses caused by the tenant’s inability to continue the lease due to the platform’s liability, the tenant can require the platform party to bear the losses and related compensation; even if the company goes bankrupt, it can be compensated in proportion to the law in the future bankruptcy liquidation process.

How does the long-term rental apartment industry develop healthily?
Regarding the current situation of the long-term rental apartment industry, I love my chairman and president Xie Yong pointed out that at present, there is a misunderstanding in the industry, thinking that by adopting the "burning money" model commonly used in the Internet industry, "burning" into the industry leader can be Control the pricing power, and then increase the price to reach the profit target.
This type of behavior that violates the requirements of "business laws" and "business nature" will inevitably have a short-term negative impact on the industry.
How can long-term rental apartments develop healthily?
Hu Jinghui, chief economist of Jinghui Think Tank, said in an interview with Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client that the reasons for the situation of the long-term rental apartment industry today are very simple, just like P2P, shared bicycles and other problems, "emerging industries are severely clamped by capital. Going wrong has caused society and consumers to pay a heavy price.” He believes that on the one hand, innovation must be encouraged while supervision must be strengthened. The two should not be partial.
Yan Yuejin said that for the rental market, the eggshell apartment incident has caused many problems and reflections, and it is inevitable to strengthen supervision.
For the long-term rental apartment market, it is also necessary to study market demand.
But in terms of recent business operations, strengthening supervision is the first step.
Regarding illegal operations and risky business models, it is indeed necessary to correct deviations in the near future, which is a very critical content.
Hu Jinghui mentioned that on September 7, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the "Regulations on Housing Leasing (Draft for Comment)". The future of the long-term rental apartment industry is through strengthening legislation, strengthening industry supervision, capital market reform, entering the market for rural land, and entering the national team. Can be actively and healthy development.
It's just that the first wave of "shooting to death on the beach", if the supervision of China's long-term rental apartment for 20 years of systematic industrial planning, supplemented by legislation and industry management, the industry prospects are still very bright.
