New regulations on determining selling prices and rental prices of social housing

The Lao Dong Newspaper Legal Consulting Office replied:

Article 8 of Resolution 201/2025/QH15 of the National Assembly on a number of specific mechanisms and policies for the development of social housing, stipulates the determination of social housing purchase and rental prices as follows:

1. Based on the method of determining the selling price, rental price of social housing and standard profit according to the provisions of the law on housing, self-built investors, hired consultants with sufficient capacity for construction activities to review before the investor approves the selling price and rental price of social housing.

2. The determination of the selling price and rental price of social housing is carried out for one or a number of works of a social housing construction investment project according to the implementation phase or according to the investment phase, each component project or the entire project.

3. After the construction is completed and put into use, the investor is responsible for conducting an audit and settlement of construction investment costs according to the provisions of law, and sending them to a specialized agency under the Provincial People's Committee to check the selling price and rental price of social housing.

In case the selling price and rental price of social housing according to the audit and settlement are higher than the selling price and rental price of social housing signed by the investor, the investor is not allowed to collect the additional difference from the buyer or renter of social housing; in case of lower, the investor must return the difference to the buyer or renter of social housing.

Thus, the determination of the selling price and rental price of social housing is done as above.
