After applying for public rental housing, the time limit for successful approval is: preliminary examination and publicity, generally about 30 working days (about 20 working days in areas where individual administrative approval processes are simplified and optimized). In practice, due to system operation and paper documents, the approval period is about 2-3 months. The applicant should be over 18 years old, have a stable job and income source in the main city, and have the ability to pay the rent.
Public rental housing is not owned by individuals, but by the government or institutions. Rent it to new employees at a price lower than the market price or affordable by the lessee, including some newly graduated college students, as well as some retirees and disabled people. There are also some groups who have migrated from other places to work in cities.
