The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development recently announced the “Regulations on Housing Leasing (Draft for Comments)” to solicit public opinions. In recent years, many home security policies have been issued from the state to the local level to solve the problem of migrant worker rental housing, vastly improving the rental conditions for many migrant workers. They also hope that in the future they will no longer encounter “random rent increases” and “black middlemen.” Experts suggest that improvement of urban housing security policies should be accelerated to ensure that migrant workers have equal rights to obtain public rental housing.
Where do you live in the city? This is often the first threshold for migrant workers to remain in the city. According to statistics, the number of people who rent houses in China currently exceeds 200 million. Among them, the rental demand of migrant workers is particularly strong. However, in recent years, frequent chaos in the housing rental market has caused migrant workers to face difficulties in renting houses, which has also become a major problem in building security for the urban public housing.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development recently announced the “Regulation on Housing Leasing (Draft for Comments)” (hereinafter the “Regulation”) to solicit public opinions. Known as “the strictest in history,” this regulatory document on housing leasing involves strengthening the protection of the rights and interests of tenants and the supervision of rental agencies. In recent years, many home security policies have been introduced from the state to the local level to solve the rental problems of migrant workers. So have the rental conditions for migrant workers improved? Do you have any suggestions on the rental conditions? Reporter conducted an interview.
Move out of the basement, hoping you won’t find “random rent increases”
Recently, Feng Hui (a pseudonym), a Henan-born young man working in Beijing in 1995, finally moved from the second basement floor of a community to a high-rise residential building with elevators. “When I was living in the basement, I had eczema on my body. After living in the building, I can sunbathe and it will soon get better.”
The basement is the employee’s bedroom at the hair salon where Feng Hui works. “Eight people crammed into a windowless room, with a bunk in each of the four corners, and ran out to use the bathroom.” Although the housing conditions are poor, only more than 100 yuan of accommodation is deducted from the salary each month. Fei, Feng Hui insisted.
The recently announced “Regulations” clearly stated that non-residential spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, balconies, and underground warehouses cannot be rented for living. Violators will be fined up to 500,000 yuan. In addition, Beijing also proposed banning the unauthorized use of planned underground spaces for non-residential purposes. The company rented from Feng Hui and his colleagues not only the building, but also separate kitchens and bathrooms. Sleep in bunk beds, but have separate beds.
The journalist discovered that the “Regulations” spelled out the regulations on the living conditions of rental housing, rental relationships, housing brokers, rental companies, etc., in response to the much criticized “formaldehyde house “,” random rent increase “,” black middle man “and other rental chaos. Specific specifications are also given. The reporter asked Feng Hui if he had any suggestions on renting a house. He told her that he had rented a house himself before the barbershop provided the bedroom, and that his rent would increase with every step. He hopes that the “Regulation” will give migrant workers more preferential rental policies, so that they no longer encounter rental traps such as “unilateral rent increases”.
In an interview with reporters, community workers from the Feng Hui community suggested that while the property, community and relevant law enforcement agencies crack down on illegal rental behaviors, they should also learn more about the real life difficulties of tenants and build a long-term effective management mechanism.
Living in staff housing, cracking down on “black middlemen” is recommended
“It turned out to work in a field, or to live in a boardroom, which is cold in winter and hot in summer, or to live on partitions and queue to go to the bathroom. Now I live in a dormitory building and sleep soundly every day. “. Employee of Taishan Fiberglass Co., Ltd. Yang Baohai is a native of Xintai, Shandong. He has been working in other provinces before. This time he returned to work in Tai’an City, near his hometown. You only pay 16 yuan in administration fees per month in the staff sleeping area, which is unimaginable before.
Yang Baohai’s colleague Li Baoshan (pseudonym) told reporters that he often lived in group rent to save money when working elsewhere. Once he rented a second bedroom, and when he went to see it, he realized that it was a partition made by the agent, which was only enough for one bed. Despite this, the “black middle man” deducted a 1,000 yuan deposit for accidentally breaking the partition board. Therefore, he suggested that the rental policy should strengthen the management of “black intermediaries” and try to make migrant workers less intimidated by “black intermediaries”.
Yang Baohai’s companions are all from surrounding towns and cities, and although they are not far away, they all have a need to rent houses in the city. “With the employee bedrooms, they not only save a lot of rental costs, but they also save time commuting to work.” Zheng Zhiyuan, vice president of the company’s workers union, told reporters that companies should do everything possible to provide dormitories for employees who have rental needs, so that there are fewer employees. Some concerns.
“The conditions in the workers’ houses are good or not, in fact, workers who go from the south to the north have a” scale “in their heart. Liu Yong, undersecretary of the Zhongbaoda Ideal Time Project of the Third Office of Construction Engineering of the Northwest Branch of China suggested that the local government can implement a number of Preferential tax policies encourage more companies to provide housing for their employees, including the construction of dormitories on their own land or participation in the construction of public rental housing. At the same time, social organizations should be encouraged to provide public housing for the self-employed on the principle of rental cost.
The messenger brother wants to have “a bed” in a public rental housing
Recently, in Hongkou District, Shanghai, a group of couriers received the keys to public rental housing. The 14 public rental houses open to couriers are equipped with basic furniture and appliances, which can be checked in with bags, and the surrounding support facilities are complete. It is understood that the market price of this lot of public rental housing is 2432 yuan to 3800 yuan per month, and the courier only needs to pay 1500 to 1800 yuan per month, which is equivalent to 60% to 70% of the market rent.
To solve the housing problems of migrant workers engaged in basic services, such as messenger brothers, sanitation workers, domestic workers, etc., in June this year, Shanghai launched a pilot demolition project and use of public rental housing and the elevation of shared housing. It is anticipated that by the end of this year it can provide 5,000 rental beds for employees of key utilities industries.
Zhang Cheng, a Henan native who delivered express delivery in Beijing, was envious when he learned that his Shanghai colleague from the express company had moved into public rental housing. He also expected to live in similar public rental housing and pay lower than market rent.
“Migrant workers are mostly migrant workers only in cities, and their living necessities are often just ‘a bed’ or ‘a room’. Therefore, the shift from the public rental housing system that emphasizes family life design to individual design has increased the number of migrant workers. The availability of public housing services in China has promoted the matching of supply and demand for public rental housing services. “Wang Zicheng, Director of the Department of Administration at the School of Public Management at Jinan University, believes that the Shanghai attempt has some demonstration effect in the cities where migrant workers gather.
“Today, family outings have also become a major form of labor migration. The dismantling of public rental housing obviously cannot meet the housing needs of migrant worker families. The leadership of the Future policy should also introduce small-size public housing for the long-term housing needs of migrant workers. Rent. ”Wang Zicheng believes that in the process of promoting the urbanization of the floating population, it is necessary to accelerate the improvement of policies urban housing security system to meet the growing housing needs of the floating population and ensure that migrant workers have equal rights to obtain public rental housing.
