上海将推动住房租赁市场发展 - 2017年10月13日

Shanghai has published an implementation guideline to foster and facilitate its development of home rentals as the city government moves to tip the scales to balance renting and buying.

By 2020, a home renting system that involves multiple entities and provides various products shall be generally established under standardized management, the city government said in an official document published today.

Residents, including people with registered residency and those who stay in the city for over six months, who rent houses in Shanghai will be entitled to basic public services through a couple of ways which include application for residence card, application for a residence permit evaluation by accumulating 120 points, and registration of separated registered and actual residences.
