On the Government Portal, a citizen in Hanoi wondered:
Ms. N.N.D has been rented social housing, so is she eligible to buy social housing or not?
Ms. D. researched and found that there were cases where people also rented social housing like her but also contacted and were able to buy social housing on the condition that after completing the purchase, they would proceed to return the rented house. On the other hand, she saw that there was a project that after 5 years of lease, it was resold to the leasing object itself, she asked, is there a contradiction in not receiving any form of housing support as above?
The Ministry of Construction answers this question as follows:
Point a, Clause 1, Article 78 of the 2023 Housing Law stipulates:
1. Subjects specified in Clauses 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Article 76 of this Law who purchase or lease social housing must meet the following conditions:
a) Conditions on housing: subjects specified in Clauses 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Article 76 of this Law to be allowed to buy or lease-purchase social housing must not have housing owned by themselves in the province or centrally-run city where the social housing construction investment project is located, have not been allowed to buy or lease-purchase social housing, have not enjoyed housing support policies in any form in the province or centrally-run city where the social housing construction investment project is located, or have housing owned by themselves in the province or centrally-run city where the social housing project is located but the average housing area per capita is lower than the minimum housing area; in cases subject to the points b, c, d, d, e, e and g of Clause 1, Article 45 of this Law, they must not be in a public housing. The Government shall specify this point,... ".
Thus, based on the above regulations, at the time of registration to buy social housing, subjects specified in Clauses 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Article 76 of the 2023 Housing Law who have not bought, leased social housing and are not renting social housing are entitled to buy social housing.
I request you to study the above regulations for implementation.
