There are more than 100,000 subdivided households in Hong Kong. The Government Subdivided Rental Control Bill is expected to be passed this legislative year and be implemented by the end of this year or early next year.
The Social Council advocates setting initial rents under the control of subdivided housing, and assessing rents based on the area, number of households, and facilities as a reference.
Huang Jianwei, the business director of the Social Union, said that some neighbours said that some landlords had begun to "increasing rents," thinking that if there is no initial rent, even if the rent remains unchanged after the rent is managed, the grassroots may not be able to afford it.
The Social Council used the area classification, the number of households, the division of units, the building facilities and the type of housing as a reference for the starting rent of various types of subdivided houses. Huang Jianwei said that 15.8% of subdivided households were charged higher rents than estimated. .
He pointed out in Hong Kong and Taiwan’s "Millennium" today (29th) that although it is not easy to set the initial rent, it still needs to be tried. It is estimated that it will take less than two years to complete.
Huang Jianwei, the business director of the Social Union, said that the initial rent helps protect the tenants of the subdivided housing.

He said that after the government proposed to implement sub-house rent control, there have been discussions about rent increase. I believe that the initial rent will help control the rent level. Otherwise, "it will increase the size and not increase it afterwards, but (the landlord) will accept all the rent." , The neighbourhood may not be able to afford the rent.
He also believes that the current waiting time for public housing has been nearly six years, and that the protection of tenancy rights can be extended to six years. There should also be an information or support platform to help tenants obtain correct rental information.
