Vietnam drafts housing law amendment to boost rental housing
The Vietnamese government is preparing a draft amendment to the Housing Law that adds a dedicated chapter on rental housing. The draft clarifies mechanisms for investment capital, land allocation, rent‑price incentives and management of rental units, aiming to create a stable, long‑term rental market and help the goal that all citizens have a place to live.
The draft also proposes the establishment of local housing funds to provide sustainable financing for rental housing development and includes provisions for affordable‑priced commercial housing. The Ministry of Construction has stated that owners of newly purchased social housing may not rent out the unit within five years of full payment, though after five years they may sell the property subject to tax obligations. HoREA has suggested an amendment allowing owners of affordable commercial housing to resell within five years under exceptional circumstances.
In parallel, a separate amendment to the Real Estate Business Law seeks to increase market transparency, curb speculation, and tighten broker licensing requirements. Officials such as National Assembly Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn and Ministry representatives stressed the need for clear legal tools to support low‑income households and to ensure the effective implementation of the new housing policies.
