Shenzhen plans to establish a rent guidance price release system, which will be the first "stable rent" policy in China.

As an immigrant city, Shenzhen has a large foreign population and great mobility. About 65% of the city's permanent residents live in rented houses, and more than 60% of them live in urban villages.

On July 4th, Shenzhen Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau issued the Notice of Soliciting Opinions on Regulating the Housing Rental Market and Stabilizing the Housing Rental Price (draft for comments) (hereinafter referred to as the draft for comments). The "Opinion Draft" intends to standardize the housing rental market from six aspects: increasing the supply of rental housing through multiple channels, standardizing the behavior of the housing rental market, standardizing the large-scale transformation and leasing business behavior of villages in cities, giving play to the role of housing rental trading service platform, increasing the support of housing rental policies, and strengthening the order rectification of the housing rental market, and publicly soliciting public opinions.

It is worth noting that the "Opinion Draft" proposes to establish a housing rental guidance price release system to improve rent transparency. Strengthen the demonstration role of large-scale and specialized housing leasing enterprises in stabilizing housing leasing prices, and guide enterprises to lease housing at a price not higher than the rental guidance price.

After the transformation of the village in the city, it is planned to guide the price pricing with reference to rent.

Villages in the city have become the ownership of most tenants in Shenzhen. Problems such as "irregular rent increase", "security is difficult to guarantee" and "tenants are driven out after enterprise contracting" have become the heart disease of urban village tenants.

According to the Report of Shenzhen Municipal Government on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of the Housing Rental Market released at the end of 20 18, about 65% of the permanent residents in Shenzhen live in rented houses, and more than 60% of them live in urban villages. According to preliminary statistics, there are about 7.83 million rented houses in the city, accounting for 348 million square meters, accounting for 73.5% of the total housing stock. Among them, the proportion of urban villages is relatively high, and there are about 4.9 million rental houses in urban villages, accounting for 62.6% of the rental houses in the city.

For such problems, the "Opinion Draft" intends to clearly regulate such problems. The content shows that it is planned to standardize and guide all districts to promote the large-scale unified rent transformation of urban villages in an orderly manner within the comprehensive transformation zoning, and eligible ones can be included in the policy housing security system; It is planned to strengthen the government's guidance on the large-scale transformation of villages in cities, set up the entry threshold for leasing enterprises reasonably, and promote the large-scale transformation of villages in cities in an orderly manner through the cooperation mode of "government, collective economic organizations and leasing enterprises" and the means of overall planning, planning guidance and price guidance; It is proposed to specify the requirements and processes for planning, commencement, completion and fire fighting. Used for the large-scale reconstruction of villages in cities to ensure that the large-scale reconstruction of villages in cities meets the safety, environmental protection and hygiene standards; It is planned to increase financial subsidies for the comprehensive transformation of villages in cities, and constantly improve the infrastructure and basic public service facilities in villages in cities; It is planned to guide the leasing enterprises to supply suitable rental housing according to the lessee's consumption structure and payment ability, and reduce the operation cost and improve the service level through large-scale and standardized operation.

At the same time, the "Opinion Draft" intends to make detailed provisions on the leasing enterprises that have settled in the villages in the city: the leasing enterprises should directly sign agreements with the collective economic organizations or their members, and should give the original tenants a period of more than three months to move out, and should not induce the collective economic organizations or their members to terminate the lease contract or expel the tenants in advance by raising the rent. If it is leased after renovation, the leasing enterprise shall give priority to meeting the leasing needs of the original lessee, reasonably price it with reference to the leasing guidance price, and strictly implement the water and electricity prices set by the government.

Rental housing management will implement "blacklist" system.

"Record the bad credit information of leasing enterprises, intermediaries and individuals, and incorporate them into the credit information sharing platform according to regulations, and publicize them to the public in a timely manner." According to the "Opinion Draft", it is proposed to implement a "blacklist" system for rental housing management, and rental housing that is determined by the relevant competent authorities to fail to meet safety standards shall not be rented.

At the same time, it is planned to fully implement the system of information collection, registration or filing of housing lease contracts, and implement online signing of lease contracts. Formulate a unified model text of the housing lease contract in the whole city, and both parties to the lease shall strictly perform the contract within the contract period; The lessor shall not unilaterally raise the rent, deduct the deposit at will or collect fees under various excuses; The lessee shall reasonably use the house and indoor facilities according to the contents and requirements agreed in the contract and pay the rent on time.

In addition, the "Opinion Draft" intends to standardize the rental market from several aspects, such as increasing the supply of rental housing through multiple channels, giving full play to the role of the housing rental trading service platform, increasing the support of housing rental policies, and strengthening the order rectification of the housing rental market, and publicly soliciting public opinions.

In this regard, Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, told the reporter of China Times that the "Opinions on Regulating the Housing Leasing Market and Stabilizing the Housing Leasing Price (Draft for Comment)" issued by Shenzhen has a clear orientation, that is, the price control of the leasing market has also begun to be introduced.

Yan Yuejin believes that this policy is clear, and it is necessary to implement the goal of rent control, establish a housing lease guidance and release system, and improve the transparency of rent. For the stability of rent, the policy requires specialized and large-scale enterprises to play a role in stabilizing rent. From the point of view of stability measures, the policy mentioned the concept of rent guidance price, that is, the rent in actual operation should not be higher than the guidance price in principle. This regulation embodies the orientation of "controlling income and stabilizing expectations" in Shenzhen market.

Judging from the actual situation, there are still many rent increases in long-term rental apartment projects in many cities. From the perspective of stabilizing rent and stimulating rental demand, it is necessary to control rent. It is expected that more cities will introduce a series of policies to stabilize rents in the future.
