Investors must directly receive documents from registered buyers, renters, and tenants of social housing and are responsible for carefully checking each dossier according to the prescribed form. Registrants must commit to the proposed content and the correct subjects according to regulations before the investor compiles the list and sends it to the Department of Construction.
Investors are only allowed to sign a social housing sale and purchase contract with customers when they meet the conditions prescribed by the law on housing and when the selling price has been appraised and approved by the competent authority.
During the process of receiving documents, investors must publicly post the list of apartments for sale (contracted), the list of remaining apartments at the place of receiving documents, the investor's office and at the real estate trading floor of the investor (if any) for people to know and register.
The Department of Construction also emphasized: The purchase, rental, and lease-purchase of social housing must not be done through trading floors not owned by project investors; at the same time, speculation and reselling are strictly prohibited in violation of regulations.
