(PLO)- Many mini-apartments in Ho Chi Minh City apply for permits to build separate houses, then prevent rooms for rent or sale, creating difficulties for management agencies.
Currently, in some districts in Ho Chi Minh City, where many workers or workers and students live, there are many mini-apartment buildings that have been sprung up to meet the rental needs of the above cases. .
These mini apartments are divided into many rooms, with an area of 25-30 m .2, there is an additional mezzanine in the room. Some places, in addition to renting, also conduct trading in the form of manual paper, making the management of the authorities difficult.
Individual houses labeled as mini-apartments
“This room is more than 4 million VND/month, just take a look, this is a mini-apartment, with an attic, a toilet in the room, with security and decent management” – an agent introduced to us. I returned to a mini-apartment in an alley on Hoang Tat Dat Street, Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City.
From the outside, this mini apartment looks like a high-rise building, with an elevator and many suites close together. Each apartment in this mini apartment is like a motel room, built with a wooden mezzanine with iron horizontal beams, on which can put mattresses for many people.

A room for rent in the building is introducedThis is a mini apartment in Tan Binh district. |
According to this agent, not only on Hoang Tat Dat Street, there are many similar mini-apartments in the area near Tan Son Nhat airport or near Tan Phu district. In addition, some companies lease hotels for 15-20 years and then renovate them into mini apartments for tenants.
“Tan Binh district has dozens of buildings, each of which has more than 50 rooms for rent. This is a type that has existed for a long time, a mini-apartment, a cheap apartment,” said Mr. Truong Tan Son, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Tan Binh District, during a supervision session on the Housing Law of the City People’s Council in July. .
According to Mr. Son, these mini-apartments all apply for permits to build separate houses, then separate rooms for rent. In 2021, Tan Binh district discovered two cases of expansion encroaching on thousands of square meters, in which one case of a mini-apartment compressed up to 100 rooms, one case compressed up to 230 rooms.
According to a representative of the People’s Committee of Tan Binh District: The Department of Construction has issued instructions on building motel rooms. Although the district has instructions, so far, there has been no case of strictly following the instructions of the Department of Construction. Therefore, the district thinks that it is necessary to have recommendations and guidance on what the hostel regulations are like, and there should be architectural regulations regulating what types of inns are.
“How many people live in these ‘apartments’, each room has 3-4 people. There are mini-apartments without a management board, the fire protection system is not guaranteed. We need regulations to manage and handle these existing mini-apartments. These works are like a slow-exploding bomb, very worrisome,” added Mr. Son.
Need a way to manage a mini apartment
“From a legal perspective, regarding condominiums or individual houses, there are Clause 2, Article 6 of Decree 99/2015 and Clause 2, Article 46 of the Law on Housing 2014” – legal expert Nguyen Tan Dat, Director Consulting Company NTD LAW Vietnam, said.
Specifically, for individual houses built with two floors or more and at each floor designed and built with two or more apartments in a self-contained fashion (with separate living room, separate kitchen area, toilet, private bathroom), with a minimum floor area of each apartment from 30 m2 above. If this house meets the conditions for an apartment building specified in Clause 2, Article 46 of the Law on Housing, it will be granted a certificate by the State for each apartment in that house,” said lawyer Dat.
According to lawyer Dat, Clause 2, Article 46 of the Law on Housing 2014 notes: Households and individuals in urban areas must build and renovate houses according to the provisions of the law on construction and are self-sustaining. responsible for housing quality.
In case it is allowed to build houses with two or more floors, each floor is designed and built with two or more apartments in a self-contained fashion, meeting the standards of the minimum construction floor area of each apartment according to regulations. building codes and standards, and having an area under private ownership and an area under common ownership of an apartment building in accordance with this law, the ownership rights of each apartment in the house shall be recognized by the State. there.
“But in fact, very few mini-apartments meet the above criteria but still spring up because there are many management problems. In the immediate future, local authorities need to review and have an intervention plan to prevent unsatisfactory mini-apartment projects or to legalize eligible apartments. Dat said.
Mr. Dat also said that it is necessary to plan separate areas for mini-apartments and low-cost houses, because the demand of people is increasing but the demand is not unreasonable.
“Besides, buyers of mini-apartments need to understand their purpose, when dealing, they need to understand the law. It should be known that a mini apartment is very difficult to have a book, so it is necessary to be careful when buying and selling transactions because when a dispute occurs, it is very difficult to handle “- Lawyer Dat emphasized.
The mini apartment is not guaranteed to create consequences long long
According to Mr. Nguyen Hoang Viet, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Son Viet Property JSC (SVP – a real estate development and distribution unit): The demand for settlement is practical, but real estate prices are currently anchored at a high level and exceed through the real income of the majority of workers.
Therefore, there will arise alternative solutions, such as mini apartments or high-class motels… that will meet the accommodation needs of low-income people and office workers alike.
“The formation of crowded housing areas inside residential areas with inadequate infrastructure will create long-term consequences. For example, mini apartments are often located in alleys that are always congested with traffic when they are out of work, the risk is great because these works do not guarantee the fire safety conditions that are applicable to this type of apartment. “- Mr. Viet said
