The management of rural homesteads is becoming increasingly strict, and the implementation of the policy of one house per household requires farmers to own only one homestead and stipulates an upper limit on the area. Behind this policy is to protect cultivated land resources and promote the rational use of rural land. According to the reform plan of "separation of powers", farmers only have the right to use the homestead land, and the ownership belongs to the village collective.
For the situation of multiple houses in one household, the relevant departments will distinguish and deal with them according to the specific situation. Under normal circumstances, when a household builds a new homestead, the old homestead will not be demolished, but transferred to the collective or other farmers for use. The purpose of this policy is to prevent farmers from rushing to build new houses, resulting in a waste of land resources.
In addition, in the implementation of the multiple-house policy, the illegal sale of homesteads and the use of farmland for building houses will also be punished by demolition. Illegal sale and purchase of homestead refers to the act of transferring or purchasing homestead without going through the prescribed procedures and departmental approval.
Farmland for housing refers to the use of cultivated land that should be used for cultivation for residential or other non-agricultural purposes. These acts seriously violate the principle of cultivated land protection and undermine the sustainable use of rural land resources.
However, not all multi-family homes are illegal, and not all illegal multi-family homes are demolished. According to the relevant regulations, a multi-family house does not need to be demolished in the following five situations:
1.Separate households: In the process of rural homestead reform, some villages have divided a large house into multiple independent houses. As long as these sub-family houses meet the prescribed area standards and do not exceed the total area of the homestead, they can be retained.
2.Multi-dwelling area compliant: Some farmers have built several homesteads in succession at different times, but the total area does not exceed the prescribed limit. In this case, these multi-homes do not violate the one-family-one-home policy and will not be required to be demolished.
3.Inherited house: According to Chinese law, a rural homestead can be inherited to a legal heir. If there are multiple inherited homes, they can be retained if they meet the prescribed size criteria and ownership.
4.Legal sale: Homesteads and their houses that have been acquired in a proper manner and meet the requirements of area standards and ownership will not be required to be demolished.
5.Large populations: In rural areas, some families have large populations and need to build multiple dwellings to meet their housing needs. As long as these multi-dwelling units meet the prescribed area criteria and ownership, and do not exceed the total area of the homestead, they can be retained.
The management of rural homesteads is being strengthened, and the policy of one house per household will be further implemented and implemented. Farmers shall use their homesteads in accordance with laws and regulations, and make rational use of land resources, so as to make positive contributions to the development of the countryside and the happy life of farmers.
