The "Express Public Housing Allocation Plan" launched by the Housing Department every year has become a "shortcut" for grassroots families.


The "Express Public Housing Allocation Scheme" accepted applications on the 20th of last month and will end on August 9. Some units may be eligible for rent reductions.

It is worth noting that some units in the plan may have been involved in unpleasant incidents, such as homicides. Applicants are advised to pay attention to the plan for details.

Unit includes "Haunted House"

However, some units have been involved in unpleasant incidents, or the number of floors, orientation, and unit design are relatively inferior. For example, in Po Tin Village and Tin Yan Village (Phase 1), the toilets in the units are smaller than those in other public housing units. .

In the plans over the years, there are some units involved in "Haunted Houses."

Take last year as an example. At that time, a total of 11 homicide units were included in the plan. The rents ranged from 1,154 yuan to 3,234 yuan, and some of them were eligible for rent concessions.

Other units on the list were involved in suicide, accidental death, natural death, and debt collection.

One of the "Haunting House" units is located in Shing On Building, Kwai Shing East Village. There was a sensation in the mother-killing case that year. A man suffering from depression needed to take care of a patient in his seventies who was bedridden for a long time. After beheading the sick mother with a kitchen knife, he committed suicide by jumping from the 16th floor unit.

The deceased woman was chopped to the head with a kitchen knife, her body was almost separated, and her throat bone and trachea were seen on her head.

In addition, the middle-level unit of Lulu Building in Shajiao Village, where the murder occurred in 2002, was also on the list last year. At that time, it was on the list for the fourth consecutive year. It is unknown whether it will be included in the plan again this year.

May be rent concessions

In addition, tenants who are willing to live in for an "effective vacancy period" of 12 months or more can enjoy a rent reduction. The reduction depends on the effective vacancy period of the unit.

Cannot request transfer within 3 years

The self-selection process of the "Express Public Housing Allocation Plan" is tentatively scheduled to start from late September to early October for families with two or more people; while the second batch is for one-person applicants and is expected to start in December.

It is worth noting that if the applicant accepts the allocation of the self-selected unit, within 3 years from the effective date of the tenancy agreement, neither the applicant nor family members can request transfer.

Applicants who are allocated public housing units through the "Express Public Housing Allocation Scheme" will not be eligible to apply for the purchase of green housing units within 3 years from the effective date of the first lease of the public housing unit.
