《住房租赁条例》施行两月 如何更好推动新规落地？

Core Viewpoint - The implementation of the Housing Rental Regulations starting from September 15 aims to protect the legal rights of both landlords and tenants, addressing issues such as deposit refunds and contract disputes in the rapidly developing rental market [1][2]. Group 1: Positive Changes from New Regulations - The new regulations have provided a legal basis for resolving disputes in the housing rental market, as evidenced by a case where a tenant successfully retrieved part of their deposit due to the regulation that prohibits landlords from unjustly withholding deposits [2]. - The regulations require landlords to have three certificates in one and to obtain a housing verification code before displaying rental listings, which has improved compliance among property owners and streamlined the rental process for agents [2][3]. - Larger rental companies are upgrading their rental products and improving service quality, with the regulations facilitating better market order and the gradual elimination of non-compliant operators [3]. Group 2: Areas Needing Further Clarification - Despite the new regulations, issues such as cash transactions and informal agreements persist, leading to disputes that are not adequately covered by the regulations, highlighting the need for clearer rules regarding evidence and liability in disputes [4][5]. - The lack of connectivity between different real estate agencies and rental management platforms creates regulatory gaps, necessitating improved coordination and information sharing among various regulatory bodies [5]. Group 3: Implementation and Future Directions - To ensure the effective implementation of the new regulations, it is essential to enhance consumer protection channels and address common issues such as deposit disputes and unfair contract terms [6]. - Various regions are developing supporting policies to promote healthy market development, including standardized rental contracts and enhanced regulatory measures to prevent issues like unreasonable fees and fraudulent activities [7]. - Recommendations include enriching the functions of rental management platforms and improving data related to rental agencies, personnel, and contracts to provide better services and ensure tenant security [8].
