Group 2: Lease Agreement Procedures - Landlords and tenants are required to sign rental contracts using real names, and these contracts must be filed with the local property management department [4]. - If the landlord fails to file the rental contract, the tenant has the right to do so [4]. Group 3: Tenant Rights Protection - Contracts must clearly specify the amount of the deposit, the timeline for its return, and conditions under which the deposit may be deducted [5]. - Landlords must notify tenants before terminating the contract and provide reasonable time for tenants to vacate, prohibiting any form of coercion [5]. Group 4: Landlord Rights Protection - Tenants are obligated to use the rental property safely and reasonably, avoiding damage, unauthorized alterations, or improper use of utilities [6]. Group 5: Regulatory Oversight - A credit evaluation system will be established to record violations by rental enterprises and agents, integrating this information into a national credit information sharing platform for tiered regulation based on credit status [7].
