Pursuant to Clause 22, Article 2 of the 2023 Housing Law, the house purchase rental is the purchase of a house by the lessee in advance to the lessor in the form of a certain percentage of the rental house value as agreed but not exceeding 50% of the value of the house purchase rental contract; the remaining amount is calculated as the house rental to be paid monthly to the lessor for a certain period of time as agreed by the parties; after the lease term expires and the lessee has paid the remaining amount, the lessee has the right to own the house.
From the explanation of renting a house to buy a house according to the above regulations, it can be understood that the concept of renting a social house is that the subject is entitled to social housing support policies and pays in advance to the lessor to buy a portion (no more than 50%) of the value of the social housing purchase rental contract. The remainder is paid in installments monthly, calculated as rental, for a period of agreement. After the lease term expires and the remaining amount is paid, the lessee will have the right to own the social housing.
