How to identify and manage group renting houses

In many large and medium-sized cities in China, group renting is very common. Mainly for the low-income groups in the city, provide living space that can only meet the basic living needs. Even many group rentals are rented by beds, and even the minimum housing standards are not met. The harm of group renting is self-evident, so how to identify and treat it?

Many places in China have successively issued relevant policies and regulations, which clearly stipulate the criteria for the identification of group renting houses. Those who basically meet one of the following conditions can be identified as group renting: dividing the house into several small rooms without authorization and renting it on time or by bed; Change the living room, kitchen, bathroom and other non-residential spaces that can be accessed through doors into bedrooms for people to live in; The per capita leased building area is more than 10 square meter, but leased to more than 10 people (including 10 people); The number of users of a living space is more than 2 (except those with legal obligations); The per capita use area is less than 5 square meters.

The fundamental reason for the chaos of group renting is that the supply of low-priced rental products in the rental market is in short supply. In order to fundamentally control, in addition to restricting landlords, intermediaries and other related enterprises are also key regulatory targets. At present, the housing agency market in China is relatively developed. By standardizing the rental market, contracts and invoices, especially the contents of the lease contract, the per capita housing area is agreed in the contract, and other governance methods are combined to standardize and restrict group renting.

In addition, you can also refer to the practices of Beijing and Shanghai. Beijing has promoted the method of signing rental contracts online several years ago. As long as the housing agency is found to be involved in group renting, it will be punished and online signing will be banned for three months. At the same time, intermediaries engaged in this business will also be exposed.

Group rent not only brings great security risks to tenants themselves, but also seriously interferes with the normal life of neighbors and affects the community environment.

In order to give full play to the regulatory role of property management companies in group renting, there have been cases in which property intervention has been complained by owners before, but most owners in the community are opposed to group renting. Property companies can play a coordinating role, organize owners' committees to sign owners' conventions to resist group renting. This kind of owners' convention is strongly advocated by the competent authorities, which is equivalent to an agreement and has legal effect. Once the landlord, as the owner, violates the content of the convention, the owner's representative has the right to sue in court and get the support of the court.

The governance of group renting is a complicated process, which mainly lies in the correct guidance of local authorities, the formulation of compulsory measures to punish illegal group renting, and the combination of residential property supervision and owner self-discipline to resist the harm and adverse effects brought by group renting.
