  In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", many important official documents focused on the development of housing leasing in a relatively large length.

The “Key Tasks for New-type Urbanization and Urban-Rural Integration Development in 2021” announced by the National Development and Reform Commission on the 13th clearly stated that, focusing on cities with large population inflows and high housing prices, expand the supply of affordable rental housing, and focus on solving difficult groups and agricultural transfers. Housing issues for new citizens such as population and newly employed college students.

  The report pointed out that my country's housing rental market has been initially cultivated since 2001, and the positioning of the housing rental market in different periods of policy ends is different.

  According to Zhao Ran's analysis, in the past 20 years, my country's housing leasing market has successively assumed the role of supplementing and improving the real estate market system and deleveraging and protecting people's livelihood.

In 2016, the proposal of "purchasing and renting simultaneously" enabled my country to gradually develop a housing leasing system that focuses on market allocation and the government provides basic guarantees.

  According to the report, "Today, my country's housing leasing market has developed to the fourth stage where opportunities and challenges coexist, and policies have begun to tilt in the direction of encouraging development and strengthening industry norms." It can be seen that the 20-year evolution of housing leasing is also It is a process of getting closer to important people's livelihood departments from the real estate market's supplementary part.

  Since 2018, most cities have solved difficulties for talents in terms of rental subsidies, convenient settlement, and provision of specialized rental housing for talents, released talent placement policies, and granted tenants subsidies and rights.

However, Zhao Ran believes that the same right of rent and sale is the crux of the problem. “There is still a long way to go to realize the same right of rent and sale. At present, it seems that there are policies that need to be broken through in terms of talent settlement and children’s compulsory education. local".

  The report also proposes and discusses REITs of real estate trust investment funds, and believes that the real estate leasing market is becoming mature, inseparable from financial innovation tools and a set of policies and tax incentives behind them.

As of the end of 2019, my country has successively launched more than 30 housing rental REITs products, which has made useful explorations in this field.

  "my country's housing leasing market is about to enter the era of REITs." According to the estimates of the ICCRA Institute of Housing Leasing Industry, the current overall size of my country's housing leasing market is 2.52 trillion yuan, and the scale of housing leasing REITs is about 300 billion yuan based on foreign experience.
