A bill to regulate rent at about 110,000 subdivided flats in Hong Kong, home to some of the city’s poorest residents, will be presented to the legislature next week and is expected to take effect as early as the end of the year.
The Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) (Amendment) Bill 2021 is a government measure designed to tackle the problem of unaffordable housing that has long plagued the city.
