Another new housing regulation in Shenzhen is coming! On July 23, the Shenzhen Housing and Construction Bureau released a notice on its official website to solicit opinions on the "Detailed Rules for the Management of the Rental of Affordable Rental Housing by Social Entities in Shenzhen (Draft for Comments)".

It is understood that affordable rental housing refers to housing that is rented to eligible new citizens, young people, and various talents with policy support from the government, market role, small size, and low rent. It is divided into affordable rental housing allocated by the government and affordable rental housing rented by social entities. The application conditions for the latter are relatively looser, and the solicitation of opinions on the management details this time is related to social affordable rental housing.
