Landlords and tenants are reminded that from 2024, rents will also be regulated under the new reg

Since the property market has entered the general decline, many people feel that it is difficult for housing prices to rise again, and the main reason for this conclusion is nothing more than that the market supply is too large, but the demand is insufficient.

Last year, for example, the total residential construction area was 589.8 billion square meters, a year-on-year decrease of 77%。Based on the average number of 100 square meters, it is equivalent to a total of 58.98 million houses, but last year, the new population was 9.02 million, the number of deaths was 11.1 million, and the net increase in population reached a negative number for another year. Judging by this data, there is already a serious oversupply.

However, even though there has been an obvious oversupply in the real estate market, and housing prices have entered an adjustment cycle in recent years, and major cities across the country, including first-tier cities, have also experienced varying degrees of housing price declines, but overall, the average price remains high. According to the data released by the China Index Research Institute, in December 2023, the average number of new residential buildings in 100 cities across the country will be 16,220 square meters, which is equivalent to a 100-square-meter house, and the total price is at least more than 1.6 million.

Such a sum of money may not seem like much, but it is not easy for those families with a monthly salary of only three to five thousand, especially young people who have just entered the society, if these families do not have the support of the elderly behind them, it is impossible to buy a house in the short term. Therefore, in recent years, many young people have chosen to live in urban housing. According to statistics, the population of China's housing rental market has exceeded 200 million people. According to the statistics of China's Urban Rental Blue Book, it is expected that by 2030, China's rental population will reach 2700 million people, the total rental market is close to 10 trillion!

So many "rental groups" seem to alleviate the pressure on urban housing, but they often face various problems. For example, the landlord arbitrarily raises the price, withholds the deposit, evicts the tenant for various improper reasons, etcBehind all these phenomena, it has caused a lot of losses to tenants, who are disadvantaged. In this regard, in recent years, the state has also continuously introduced relevant policies to rectify the chaos of the rental market

For example, in 2023, a number of regions and departments have issued the "Work Plan for Jointly Rectifying the Chaos in the Housing Rental Market" to specifically deal with these problems. In addition, many regions of the country have also included supervision on housing rents. For example, Hefei issued a new regulation at the end of last year: housing rents for more than three months must be transferred to a regulatory account. Rent and deposits shall not be collected or managed through other bank accounts or third-party payment platforms; Illegal leasing enterprises will be suspended from ...... such as ** release and credit deduction

Of course, it is not the first city to implement this measure, as early as more than a year ago, Beijing made it clear in the official implementation of the "Beijing Municipal Housing Lease Regulations": the amount of rent collected by housing leasing enterprises from tenants at a time shall generally not exceed three months' rent, and the excess rent shall be included in the supervision; The deposit collected shall generally not exceed one month's rent and shall be held in escrow through a dedicated third-party account in accordance with regulations. In addition, the regulations also put forward clear requirements for the protection of the rights and interests of tenants.

On the whole, there are several main changes in the regulations: first, houses that do not meet the air quality standards and hygiene requirements cannot be rented; Houses with unqualified interior decoration are not allowed to be rented....Second, non-residential space may not be rented. For example, balconies, bathrooms, storage rooms, kitchens, etc., which have been converted into bedrooms, cannot be rented; Third, the rent guide price is introduced to prevent the landlord from maliciously and privately raising the price. For example, Shenzhen began to rent housing in October**.

Fourth, the relevant rents collected by the "second landlord" should be included in the special account for supervision. Second, the landlord will be included in the supervision, stipulating that the rent payment shall not be for three months, and the deposit shall not exceed one month's rent, and the excess rent shall be deposited into the special account for the supervision of housing rental transaction funds.

It can be seen that the new regulations not only restrict first-hand landlords and second-hand landlords, but also include rents in "supervision", so as to prevent second-hand landlords from running away after receiving a large amount of rent, and tenants will suffer losses as a result.

In addition, some time ago, Shenyang City also passed the "Shenyang Municipal Regulations on the Administration of Public Security in Rental Housing", which will be officially implemented on February 1, 2024. Among them, there are a few points that deserve your attention:1The lessor shall register with the public security organ with a valid identity document and bear the corresponding public security responsibilities, including not renting out the house to a person without a valid identity document, and shall promptly report to the public security organ if the tenant is found to have used the rented house to carry out illegal and criminal activities. 2.The tenant also has corresponding public security responsibilities, such as providing valid identity documents to the lessor, registering the information of the temporary resident population in a timely manner, and not using the rented house to carry out illegal and criminal activities. Violations of this provision will result in penalties in accordance with the law.

This also means that in the future, landlords will also have to improve security management when renting out properties. According to the rules, if a tenant breaks the law in the rental property, they may not be liable if the landlord is not aware of it. However, if the landlord knows about it and rents the house to a person without identity documents, or does not register the tenant's name, type and number of identity documents in accordance with the regulations, he may be suspected of the crime of harboring, and he will be responsible and even punished.

In short, when renting out a house, the landlord should not only ensure the legality of the activities in the rental house, but also regularly check the safety of the house.
