7 of 17

Lack of regulations to promote apartment building renovation

Regulations on cases where renovation and demolition must be carried out to rebuild apartment buildings are still unclear, so there are still many difficulties in the implementation process

The PPP (public-private partnership investment) law has abolished the BT form (investment projects in the form of build-transfer contracts) projects to renovate and rebuild apartment buildings, so projects cannot be implemented, slowing down the process of renovation and reconstruction of apartment buildings

The Housing Law 2014 has not stipulated the responsibilities of local authorities in arranging temporary accommodation, conditions, quality of temporary accommodation, etc. so it is impossible to relocate people to implement the project

8 of 17

Inadequacies in regulations on development of resettlement houses and official duties

The principles for resettlement housing development and the form of resettlement arrangement are not specific, so localities still face many obstacles in implementation

The State has not yet had a mechanism to convert the fund of houses built before 2014 to other purposes. Leading to the failure to ensure the quality and conditions of relocation housing and consider and solve the resettlement needs of people in urban areas of big cities

Regarding the arrangement of official-duty housing for cadres to be rotated to the central government is still limited
