住建部發布新規 房屋租賃市場將規範

A new draft regulation on housing rentals and sales in China has been released in a bid to standardize the country's housing market.

我國近日發佈了一份新的住房租賃和銷售條例草案，旨在規範國內住房市場。

The draft, currently open to public opinion for revision, listed detailed rules that supervise housing market participants including landlords, tenants, developers, and brokerage firms, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said in an online statement.

條例草案現正公開徵求意見，以進行修改。住房和城鄉建設部在一份網絡聲明中稱，草案列出了監管房東、租戶、開發商以及中介公司等住房市場參與者的詳細規定。

To protect the interests of both landlords and tenants, the draft required a written rental contract to be signed, and specified rules regarding lease terms, rents and tenant rights.

爲保護房東和租戶雙方的利益，草案要求雙方簽訂書面形式的租賃合同，並就租賃期限、租金以及租戶的權利做出了詳細規定。

It also contained general rules to regulate the behavior of developers, restricting them from publishing fake advertisements and artificially inflating housing prices.

草案中還包含規範開發商行爲的一般性規定，禁止其發佈虛假廣告、哄擡房價。

Housing brokers should make information such as housing prices and brokerage fees more transparent, and should not disclose or improperly use client information, according to the statement.

根據聲明，房地產中介須提高房價、中介費等信息的透明度，不得泄露或不當使用客戶信息。

The draft regulation is the first of its kind on housing rentals and sales. The public will have until June 19 to submit an opinion.

該條例草案是首部針對住房租賃和銷售的法規。公衆可在6月19日前提交意見。
