Rents rise up to 30%
    2018-08-24  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

MS. Li, who shares an apartment with two friends in Nanshan District, was recently told by her landlord that her rent would go up by 20 percent, the Nanfang Daily reported.

Li, who has lived in the apartment for three years, said she couldn’t find a two-room apartment in the same housing estate for less than 6,500 yuan (US$949) a month and a single-room apartment in the neighboring estate costs as much as 5,500 yuan.

According to statistics provided by a housing agency, home rents have gone up at least 20 percent in the city this year, and in some upmarket housing estate rents of some popular apartments have risen up to 30 percent.

He Kaijie, an agent who has been in the housing rental market for many years, said rents generally rise by 10 percent during the summer season as many people come to look for jobs in Shenzhen after graduating from college.

High rents have forced many tenants in Futian and Nanshan to relocate to Longgang and Yantian where rents are generally much lower, according to Centaline Property. In Longgang, it costs about 3,300 yuan for a two-bedroom apartment of around 65 sqms, rents for an apartment of the same size in Nanshan and Futian districts would, however, at least double.

In Shenzhen, about 78 percent of young people rent apartments.

The emergence of long-term rental apartments is believed to be one of the factors that are driving up rent. The operators, generally housing agents or some capital companies, lease the apartments from homeowners and rent them out at higher prices after making renovations.

Prices for long-term rental apartments are generally 15 percent higher than ordinary apartments in the same neighborhood, the report said. This causes other landlords to raise their rents, according to He Qianru, supervisor of the national research center of Shenzhen Midland Reality.

Wang Feng, director with Shenzhen Real Estate Research Center, said Shenzhen has taken measures to tackle the rental market since the end of the July. To stabilize rents, authorities are piloting a price ceiling mechanism for rental apartments. More measures will be considered to limit the prices of rental apartments.

“When necessary, the authorities will demand the operators of long-term rental apartments register their rental prices and time periods for authorities to monitor. In this way, the rental prices will be kept under control,” said Wang. (Han Ximin, Zhang Lei)
