Dialogue on the recovery and handling of public houses and land.

On the afternoon of October 2nd, Mr. Le Trung Kien, Member of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the Hai Phong City People's Committee, chaired a dialogue meeting between the Hai Phong City People's Committee and organizations and individuals renting houses and land that are public assets not used for residential purposes, managed by Hai Phong Housing Management and Business Company Limited.

Also attending were representatives from the Ministry of Finance, the Government Inspectorate , the Central Citizen Reception Board; departments, agencies, localities, and relevant organizations and individuals.

During the dialogue, organizations and individuals leasing houses and land focused their requests on continuing their leases, extending contracts; determining and collecting outstanding rent; and handling assets, investment costs, and repair expenses on leased land.

Some opinions suggest that the city should consider the conditions and options for continuing to lease the property to those who are using the house and land stably, fulfilling all financial obligations, and not violating regulations…

Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Le Trung Kien informed that the city is currently reorganizing and handling many public assets following the restructuring and merger process, while simultaneously implementing the "City of Law- Abiding Citizens" project. Based on this, the city is recovering public houses and land not used for residential purposes, aiming to combat waste while ensuring transparency and compliance with legal regulations. This is also identified as one of the solutions to create more room for the city's socio-economic development.

Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Le Trung Kien stated that the city is ready to study appropriate solutions to address difficulties for citizens and businesses. The city will continue to organize dialogues and listen to the opinions of businesses and citizens; and at the same time, request responsible organizations and individuals to cooperate in the implementation of the general policy. If necessary, the city may research and propose a special mechanism to find solutions to resolve obstacles related to leasing public land and houses not used for residential purposes.

The Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee instructed the Department of Finance to review and consolidate relevant documents concerning privatized enterprises so that city leaders can directly work with them, continue dialogue, and build consensus. Issues exceeding their authority will be compiled, reported, and submitted to the Central Government for consideration and resolution.

The city police are reviewing, assessing, and verifying information on households to facilitate dialogues regarding the leasing of public land and properties not used for residential purposes.

The One-Member Limited Liability Company for Housing Management and Business will review households still owing rent and coordinate with the City Tax Department to study appropriate solutions. Relevant departments and agencies will continue to disseminate information, mobilize support, and create consensus in the arrangement and handling of public assets.
