On the afternoon of August 8, at the press conference on Ho Chi Minh City's socio-economic situation, Ms. Le Thi Loan, Deputy Head of the Department of Organization and Personnel, Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction, said that the unit is implementing the draft Outline of the Project on Management and Support of Individual Housing for the Purpose of Renting in Ho Chi Minh City.

According to Ms. Loan, privately owned individual houses for rent are the main source of supply to meet the housing needs of low-income people, in the context of the huge demand for rental accommodation to live, study and work in Ho Chi Minh City in recent times.
According to statistics from the Department of Construction, Ho Chi Minh City currently has about 60,500 private boarding houses operating in the city. The total number of boarding rooms is 560,220 and more than 1.4 million people are renting.
However, a worrying reality is that most of these projects are illegally built or arbitrarily renovated, not ensuring standards on fire prevention and fighting safety, environmental sanitation and construction regulations.
According to initial survey results, about 12,800/60,500 works (accounting for 21%) do not meet safety conditions to continue operating and need to be converted and renovated to meet the minimum regulatory criteria.

A representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction stated that the development and implementation of the Project on Management and Support for Individual Housing for Rental Purposes in Ho Chi Minh City is necessary.
"The main objective of the Project is to strictly manage individual houses for rental purposes, while proposing solutions to support and protect people's safety; not disrupting supply due to increased rental prices, and harmoniously resolving the state's social security goals and the interests of landlords and tenants," said Ms. Loan.
This will also be the premise for safe rental conditions to better support and manage state-owned houses for rental purposes.
Regarding the implementation roadmap, after the City People's Committee approves the policy and approves the project outline, the departments and branches will urgently implement and complete the products, management solutions and support for individual houses for rental purposes to submit to the City People's Committee no later than December 2024.
According to the project, alleys for building individual houses for rental purposes must have a minimum width of 3-4m to ensure fire trucks can access.
In case the alley is not wide enough for the fire truck to access, the house must be no more than 100m from the main road so that the fire truck's fire hose can reach the scene of the incident.
Every room in the house must have a corridor leading to an escape route;
Agree on the criteria for minimum floor area m2/person, temporarily propose 5m2/person to limit the number of people per room and limit the number of rooms in each boarding house to avoid overcrowding.
