In recent years, along with the soaring housing price level, housing problem in China turned out to be in the spotlight more than ever before. With the high housing price, low and moderate-income families find it very difficult for them to buy their own dwelling. In order to meet the needs of low and and moderate-income families and lessen the overheating, Chinese goverment carried out some plans, one among which was the Public Rental Housing program. Public Rental Housings mostly serve for low and moderate-income family to live, with a lower rent than market rent on the same condition. And there are other limits or drawbacks sach as monitioring and housing register problem. Details of the limits differ from city to city. In this thesis, Public rental Housing project in Chong Qing, the first city implemented Public rental Housing to a great extent in China will be studied. Market analysis on both demand side and supply side is carried out to examine the influence on residential market and whether Public Rental housing can ease the overheating in residential market. A questionnaire is used to study public acknowledgement and satisfaction with Public Rental Housing projects in Beijing (for convenience). The finding is: Current public Rental Housing can ease the market but this policy requires better financing resource, subsidy policy to back up, monitor system and more involvement of society resources.

Hong Kong has a long historical development of public housing and become one of the largest public housing programmes city in the world. However, the demand for housing of the low income young people is still not met. They cannot afford decent housing in the private market. Since Housing Authority (HA) introduced the Quota and Points System (QPS) in 2005 for single person applicants. The purpose of the scheme was to set an annual quota for non-elderly one-person applicants applying for public rental housing (PRH) and establish a points system to accord priority to applicants of higher age.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing housing subsidy policy for solving the housing problems of the young people in Hong Kong. First, I will investigate and define the housing problems of young people and trying to make some recommendations and suggestions to government. Therefore, a survey will be conducted through interview questionnaire to the young people in order to study their housing problems and general characteristics. By studying the housing problems of the lower income young people in Hong Kong and hope the findings of this research may provide insights for policy makers in tackling the young people's housing problems.published_or_final_version

People believe that if there are economies of scale at the firm level, then there must also be economies at the asset level. But despite interest, there is no published research on the subject of asset level economies of scale. The Property Owners & Managers Survey, sponsored by HUD, is a national survey that for the first time allows a cross-sectional study of apartments. The survey provides data on geographic location, revenues, costs and management. Other surveys have focused on high end apartment complexes or low income housing. This survey looks at all levels of housing services and allows a study of property-level economies of scale that cover all levels of the apartment industry. Economic theory of the firm and its application to housing services is reviewed. The concept and theory of economies of scale are then applied to the apartment complex. Once the theory is reviewed, we look at empirical evidence from POMS to look at the relationship between operating costs and number of apartment units. The theory is empirically tested vis-a-vis a regression analysis using operating costs per apartment unit as the dependent variable and number of apartments as well as other variables as the independent variables. The regression is held constant to allow for a change in units. If economies of scale are present, then the operating costs per unit must decrease as units increase. A graphic representation of the equation demonstrates economies of scale over a limited data range.

ABSTRACT ENGLISH: The dissertation considers the tenure rights of urban residential tenants in the post-1994 constitutional dispensation. The 1996 Constitution mandates tenure reform in two instances. Firstly, section 25(6) (read with section 25(9)) mandates the legislature to enact legislation that would provide legally secure tenure rights for a person or community whose tenure of land is insecure as a result of past racially discriminatory laws or practices. This form of tenure reform is race-based. Secondly, section 26(3) mandates the courts to consider all relevant circumstances during eviction proceedings. In terms of this provision the court can refuse to grant the eviction order on the basis of the occupier's socio-economic weakness, which is a more general form of class-related tenure reform. The Constitution also ensures the right to have access to adequate housing, while the legislature must introduce measures that would give effect to this right (sections 26(1) and 26(2)). To determine whether the current landlord-tenant regime in South Africa is able to provide tenants with secure occupation rights and access to rental housing, it is compared to landlord-tenant regimes in pre-1994 South Africa, the United Kingdom, New York State and Germany. The landlord-tenant regimes are considered in light of changing socio-economic circumstances where the state had to assist households during housing shortages. The dissertation assesses the efficiency of landlord-tenant law, combined with regulatory measures that ensure substantive tenure rights and rent restrictions, as a form of tenure that could help alleviate housing shortages and initiate a new landlord-tenant regime for South Africa that would give effect to the Constitution. The dissertation concludes that the current substantive tenure rights of urban residential tenants are largely based on the common law, which is associated with weak tenure security. The landlord-tenant laws, namely the Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999 and the Social Housing Act 16 of 2008, fail to provide urban residential tenants with substantive tenure rights. The legislature has failed to enact a law that gives effect to section 25(6) in the landlord-tenant framework. The legislature did enact the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act 19 of 1998 (PIE) in order to give effect to section 26(3). Recently the courts interpreted PIE to provide marginalized tenants with substantive tenure protection during eviction proceedings. However, to give effect to section 25(6) legislation should grant residential tenants substantive tenure rights that are legally secure prior to eviction. The legislature enacted the Rental Housing Act and the Social Housing Act to give effect to the right to housing (section 26 of the Constitution) in the landlord-tenant framework. These laws fail to promote access to rental housing as a form of tenure that could help alleviate housing shortages.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die proefskrif oorweeg die okkupasieregte van stedelike residensiële huurders in die post-1994 konstitusionele bedeling. Die 1996 Grondwet bepaal dat okkupasieregte in twee gevalle hervorm moet word. Eerstens gee artikel 25(6) (gelees met artikel 25(9)) opdrag aan die wetgewer om wetgewing te verorden wat okkupasieregte met verblyfsekerheid aan 'n person of gemeenskap sal verleen indien so 'n person of gemeenskap tans grond okkupeer met okkupasieregte wat onseker is as gevolg van vorige rasgebaseerde wetgewing. Hierdie tipe hervorming is rasgebaseer. Tweedens gee artikel 26(3) opdrag aan die howe om alle relevante faktore te oorweeg as deel van enige uitsettingsprosedure. In terme van hierdie bepaling is die howe gemagtig om 'n uitsettingsbevel te weier op die basis van die okkupeerder se sosio-ekonomiese kwesbaarheid. Hierdie tipe hervorming is 'n meer algemene klasgebaseerde hervorming. Artikel 26(1) (gelees met artikel 26(2)) van die Grondwet bepaal dat elkeen die reg op toegang tot geskikte behuising het, terwyl die staat redelike wetgewende en ander maatreëls moet tref om hierdie reg te verwesenlik. Ten einde te bepaal of die huidige huurbehuisingstelsel in Suid-Afrika voldoende is, met inagneming van die stelsel se vermoë om huurders te voorsien van okkupasieregte met verblyfsekerheid en van toegang tot huurbehuising, word dit vergelyk met die huurbehuisingstelsels in Suid Afrika voor 1994, die Verenigde Koninkryk, New York Staat en Duitsland. Hierdie huurbehuisingstelsels word bespreek met inagneming van veranderinge in die sosio-ekonomiese omstandighede waartydens die staat gedurende behuisingstekorte huishoudings moes ondersteun. Die doeltreffendheid van huurbehuising word beoordeel met verwysing na regulasies wat substantiewe okkupasieregte verseker en beperkings plaas op huurpryse om 'n vorm van verblyfreg daar te stel wat die behuisingstekort kan verminder ten einde 'n nuwe huurbehuisingstelsel vir Suid-Afrika te inisieër wat gevolg aan die Grondwet sal gee. Die proefskrif lei tot die gevolgtrekking dat die huidige substantiewe okkupasieregte van stedelike residensiële huurders grotendeels op die gemenereg gebaseer is. Die gemenereg maak nie voorsiening vir sterk substantiewe okkupasieregte nie. Die huidige huurbehuisingswetgewing, naamlik die Wet op Huurbehuising 50 van 1999 en die Wet op Maatskaplike Behuising 16 van 2008, slaag nie daarin om substantiewe okkupasieregte vir stedelike residensiële huurders te voorsien nie. Die wetgewer het nie daarin geslaag om 'n wet te promulgeer wat in die huurbehuisingsraamwerk aan artikel 25(6) effek gee nie. Die wetgewer het wel die Wet op die Voorkoming van Onwettige Uitsetting en Onregmatige Besetting van Grond 19 van 1998 verorden om effek te gee aan artikel 26(3) van die Grondwet. Hierdie Wet is onlangs so deur die howe geïnterpreteer dat dit kwesbare huurders tydens uitsettingsprosedures met substantiewe okkupasieregte beskerm. Om aan artikel 25(6) te voldoen moet wetgewing egter substantiewe okkupasieregte met verblyfsekerheid aan residensiële huurders verskaf voordat hulle uitgesit word. Die wetgewer het die Wet op Huurbehuising en die Wet op Maatskaplike Behuising verorden ten einde effek aan die reg op behuising (artikel 26 van die Grondwet) in die gebied van huurbehuising te gee. Geeneen van hierdie wette slaag daarin om toegang tot behuising, en veral huurbehuising as 'n vorm van okkupasie, te bevorder ten einde die behuisingtekort te verminder nie.

Full textAbstract:
The Swedish residential rental system and market has been discussed and criticized diligently the past years. A reformed rental law was therefore the 1 stof January 2011 implemented. This has the purpose to better reflect the consumer’s priorities with a more market related rental determination. With this change, it is of interest to compare it to another rental system, with market rents. In the German rental system, free rental setting is allowed in new leases. This thesis aims to evaluate and compare the rental system in Sweden and Germany. The comparison was done after reading several reports, articles and literature as well as interviews with Swedish and German actors. Results show that the reformed Swedish law will not lead to major changes, though it might lead to a more adequate rental determination system. The analysis of the German system, with its free rental setting for new leases show that is better functioning than the Swedish. It is however positive that the new Swedish law incorporates more market related variables, even though the determination of a market rent is quite complex. A free rental setting allocates diversity in the market and contributes to a heterogeneous market, as it is possible to meet different consumers demand. The rental market can be expanded though, with a free rental setting when subletting condominiums. A conclusion from the analysis is that Sweden should strive to adopt a German system with free rental setting in new leases.

After decades of rapid development, China has entered an era with new opportunities and challenges. In its real estate markets, excessive housing demands exist in big cities while a large amount of stock assets are underutilized. In its financial markets, households accumulate wealth but do not have adequate investment channels. Together with expansionary credit policies, these factors have driven the housing price to an unprecedented level and thus created potential risks for the financial and social stability. To cope with these challenges, the Chinese government initiates several reforms in real estate and financial markets. First, it promotes the residential rental market to meet residents' housing demand. Second, it conducts supply-side reforms to transform the real estate industry and to utilize stock assets. Third, it performs financial system reform to provide more investment options and to increase residents' income from properties. By taking these reforms, the Chinese government aims to guide the housing price back to a reasonable level and to improve the stability of the financial system and whole society. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), as a well-known financial instrument, have a significantly potential role to play in the above reforms. They can supply long-term capital and professional management to residential rental markets, provide new business models for the real estate industry to utilize stock assets, and widen investment channels for households. This thesis examines four typical cases in the current REITs pilot phase in China, identifies existing problems and proposes corresponding solutions, in order to improve REITs in China and help it fulfill its role in the ongoing reforms.

Full textAbstract:
This is the first study within the area of rental affordability. It is an important issue to address since many startups and SMEs are struggling with finding suitable workspace in Stockholm. This study contributes to a better understanding of different aspects of affordability. Moreover the aim is to enhance the understanding of different perspectives of rental affordability for these companies when choosing office space. When defining rental affordability it has to be a relative concept within a certain context since it includes the perspective of both tenants´ preferences and market related factors. The proposed definition of affordability solutions is based on theory and empiricism, which are found through a literature review and a qualitative method. Since there is lack of consistency in research papers of the definition of affordability, and no previous definition of affordable solutions within this context is found, this method could define what factors affecting tenants when choosing office space. The qualitative method together with a literature review resulted in a pre-study, which was supposed to combine different aspects of affordability and further suggest how to construct a rental affordability index. Methodological triangulation increases the originality of this report, since the approach involves three aspects, which together highlight what dimensions should be evaluated when constructing an affordability index. A number of benefits from affordability solutions for startups and SMEs are presented in the results. Affordability solutions are intangible factors, which in several ways benefit property owners, tenants and society. However the office market is changing and tenants do not have the same preferences as before. Thus, it could be asked whether the recent office trend is just a trend or if it is here to stay. This report provides a starting point for such discussion, which is also proposed to consider when constructing a rental affordability index in further studies.Denna masteruppsats är den första av sitt slag inom området för rental affordability. Det är av stor vikt att framhäva den problematik som är kopplat till den rådande situationen för många startups och småtill medelstora företag, vilka kämpar för att hitta lämplig kontorsplatser i Stockholm. Denna studie bidrar till en bättre förståelse för vilka aspekter som karaktäriserar rental affordability. Dessutom är målet att öka förståelsen för olika perspektiv av begreppet när det sätts i dess sammanhang. Vid en definition av rental affordability, bör hänsyn tas till sammanhanget vilket inkluderar både hyresgästers nuvarande preferenser samt rådande marknadsrelaterade faktorer. Den föreslagna definitionen av lösningar som hyresgäster har råd med, affordable solutions, baseras på hyresgästernas preferenser, vilka kartläggs genom kvalitativa intervjuer och teori. Med hänsyn till att en enhetlig definition saknas i tidigare forskning och att ingen tidigare definition finns inom kontexten för denna rapport, så kan den valda metoden användas för att definiera vilka immateriella faktorer som påverkar hyresgästerna när de väljer kontorslokaler. Den kvalitativa metoden tillsammans med en litteraturgranskning resulterade i en förstudie som kombinerar olika aspekter av affordability och vidare föreslås hur ett affordability index kan konstrueras. En metodologisk ansats i form av triangulering ökar originaliteten av denna rapport, eftersom tre aspekter tillsammans lyfter fram vilka dimensioner som bör utvärderas när ett affordability index konstrueras. Ett antal fördelar från affordability solutions för startups och små- till medelstora företag kan påvisas i resultaten. Ett flertal faktorer är framträdande och kan på flera sätt gagna fastighetsägare, hyresgäster och samhället. Emellertid så förändras kontorsmarknaden och hyresgäster har inte samma preferenser som tidigare. Således kan det diskuteras om den rådande kontorsutvecklingen bara är en trend eller om den är här för att stanna, vilket bör tas hänsyn till i vidare studier där ett affordability index konstrueras i enlighet med förstudien.

Full textAbstract:
The 2007-2009 recession negatively impacted the global economy, especially the real estate industry and multifamily rental properties. Obtaining credit became difficult, real estate lost 41% equity, 223 commercial banks failed, and 3.2 million homes were in foreclosure. Grounded in systems theory, the purpose of this causal comparative study was to examine the impact of mortgage lender type on the average ranking of 8 mortgage underwriting outcome measures. For the study, 44 accredited mortgage professionals completed an online-survey. The results of the analyses of variance indicated a statistically significant (p < 0.001) lender type effect on credit score and loan-to-value ratio. Further analyses on credit score indicated a significant (p = 0.006) relationship between Category A and B lenders, Category A and C lenders (p < 0.001), and Category B and C lenders (p < 0.001). Further analyses on loan-to-value ratio indicated a significant (p = 0.017) relationship between Category A and B lenders and also Category A and C lenders with (p < 0.001), but the difference between Category B and C lenders is not statistically significant with (p = 0.063). The implications for positive social change include economic growth and expansion, as access to financing increases. Tenants in multifamily rental properties might also benefit from economic growth as the standard of living could increase when landlords initiate capital spending and development.

Thesis, Jönköping University, Internationella Handelshögskolan, 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-52680.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Fast furniture is a growing trend similar to fast fashion and fast food, implying that manufacturers produce large quantities of inexpensive furniture. At the same time, consumers use the furniture shorter and replace it more frequently. Fast furniture relies on high resource consumption, outsourced production, and furniture design that makes it necessary to replace it more often. This causes a decrease in quality and an increase in produced quantities. Most of the furniture worldwide is landfilled as it is not recyclable due to low-quality materials. One potential solution is implementing Circular Economic practices, including furniture rental as an alternative way of consumption. Consumer acceptance of this model is scarcely researched, but the formation of consumers' attitudes and intentions has been the subject of publications in other consumption contexts. The recent literature is reviewed, and a research framework was built based on the Theory of Reasoned Action and additional intrapersonal barriers and drivers. Purpose: This research aimed to explain the relationship between intrapersonal barriers and drivers with attitude and behavioral intention towards furniture rental. Further, it was aimed to show which furniture categories are most likely to be rented. Method: A quantitative approach deploying a self-administered online survey was chosen. 235 usable responses were gathered, which were analyzed using PLS-SEM to assess the hypothesized relationships. Conclusion: The findings show that the overall attitude towards furniture rental is positive. Trend orientation and perceived risk are the most influential antecedents of attitude and behavioral intention. Supporting the Theory of Reasoned Action, attitude is the strongest predictor of behavioral intention. Perceived sustainability value, perceived economic value, and materialism also significantly influence the intention to rent furniture. Familiarity with the Sharing Economy shows no significant influence. The study contributes to the existing literature on consumer intentions to use alternative consumption. A new research model was developed based on existing theory and literature. Managers can use the findings to alter, adapt, and build their furniture rental service offerings.

Full textAbstract:
The rental price adjustment mechanism is a fundamental component of the model for forecasting future office space requirements. This is an important area of study given the increasing significance of office buildings in the urban environment. This has resulted from the large growth in service oriented employment. Very little academic work has been completed in this area because of the lack of sufficient data. To date, only the U.S. market has been examined.
The objective of this thesis is model the rental price adjustment mechanism in the Canadian office market. The intent is to further test the theory in this area, provide a comparison with the results obtained in the U.S., and provide some insight into the workings of the Canadian office market.
This thesis reviews the relevant literature on inventory theory, and empirical work performed on the housing market and on data from the U.S. office market. The review points to a series of propositions about the rental price adjustment mechanism in the office market, the most important being the strong relationship between rents and vacancies. The extensions to the model developed in this paper are the specification of the vacancy variable in non linear terms and an attempt to include some proxy for growth expectations. The model is tested using data from Montreal, Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver. The data has been collected primarily from the Royal LePage Market Survey.
Visual inspection of the data uncovers unique characteristics in each individual office market. The underlying reasons point to the importance of integrating growth expectations in the model. The regression results support some degree of asymmetric price behaviour, however the specification of the vacancy variable in non linear terms is not conclusive. Inflation expectations seem to be important as landlords attempt to pass inflationary rises on to the tenants. Operating costs and interest rates do not appear to be significant factors in the model. This leads to the conclusion that they are not important in the cost of holding inventory in the short run. Finally, the proxy used for growth expectations is not significant. The most likely reason for this result is that the variable is not properly specified. The low explanatory power of the model may be attributed to the misspecification of the growth proxy and limitations in the data set. Both of these factors should be considered in future work in this area.Business, Sauder School of

Full textAbstract:
In 2007, vacation rental properties in the United States accounted for more than 22% of the domestic lodging market. These properties are a unique segment of the lodging industry due to their residential design and commercial use. Coastal vacation rental properties represent the largest supply, demand and value of the nation's vacation rental supply. In the case of North Carolina's Outer Banks, tourism is the area's largest source of income, with vacation real estate agencies being the largest accommodation provider. This study uses a multiple regression analysis to investigate the energy consumption of 30 vacation rental homes on Hatteras Island. Hatteras Island's abundant supply of vacation rental homes provided a diverse sample to study energy consumption with a wide range of houses regarding size, age, and location. Since very little research has been conducted on the energy consumption of vacation rental homes, this study aims to contribute detailed information regarding the energy consumption of unique accommodation sector.

Optimization models are a commonly used tool to identify cost efficient network flows. Complexity increases when various products move across different paths and transportation modes within one network. To address the challenges posed by this complexity, this thesis develops a mixed integer linear programming model for a uniform rental company. The company's product families are routed through intermediary distribution centers, while others bypass these points and move directly to a regional distribution center. Various simulations were run with the objective of minimizing fixed costs, warehousing, inventory and transportation expenses. The function was constrained by flow balance, demand and capacity constraints. The optimal solution proposed a network that used less facilities than currently operated within the company, and some in new locations due to transportation cost savings. As volume increased, the network structure continued to shift further from the company's current structure. Demand increased the influence of variable rates, while transportation lane rates were a significant factor in every version of the model run.

Mobility on Demand is a new transportation paradigm aimed to provide sustainable transportation in urban settings with a fleet of electric vehicles. Usage scenarios prpopsed by Mobility on Demand systems must allow one-way rentals. However, one-way rentals bring significant challenges to fleet management because areas of high demand will tend to lose their inventory, whereas areas of low demand will tend to accumulate inventory. Dynamic incentives can be provided to encourage different usage patterns and alleviate the problem of demand asymmetry. This thesis proposes a dynamic incentive scheme for rental vehicle fleet management in the context of Mobility on Demand. Simulation using Vienna taxi data shows the scheme to be effective at maintaining the equalibrium state of the fleet. It holds great promise to be incorporated in a real-world deployment of Mobility on Demand system.

Improving building energy efficiency is widely recognized as one of the best strategies for combating climate change and other energy problems. Energy efficiency implementation has been slow, however, due to a number of practical barriers, and few building sectors face higher hurdles to energy efficiency than rental housing. In this thesis I ask: What are the major barriers to investment in energy efficiency for rental housing? How well do existing policies and programs address these barriers? And finally, which strategies are best suited to overcome the barriers that face rental housing efficiency? I describe several barriers, from split incentives to transaction costs, that limit energy efficiency for rental housing. Existing policies and efficiency programs do not adequately address most of these barriers. While there is no silver bullet solution to facilitate energy efficiency for rental housing, I identify a variety of policy options that can be implemented at the federal, state, and local levels. One measure in particular, a "green lease," holds great promise for overcoming split incentives and other obstacles. A combination of voluntary and regulatory measures will be necessary to deeply penetrate the rental housing efficiency market. Finally, I argue that policy packages must be tailored to the conditions of local rental housing markets, and local energy initiatives hold great promise as part of the solution.

Determinants of the rental housing landlord's decision to renovate are investigated using the Property Owners and Managers Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau in 1995. Relationships are examined between the probability of renovation and the financial, managerial, structural, ownership and tenant characteristics provided by the survey. Four renovation types are examined, kitchen replacement, bathroom renovation, plumbing upgrade and heating system upgrade. Multivariate analysis is used to estimate the relative effects of above characteristics on the likelihood of renovation. Several relationships are found to be important. Recently purchased properties were more likely to be renovated than others. Employment of a property manager decreased likelihood of renovation. Profitable properties appear less likely to be renovated than others. Probability of renovation is affected by, but does not increase directly with, size or age. Further research incorporating both these characteristics and property and neighborhood conditions is recommended.

Full textAbstract:
There is widespread agreement among housing policy analysts that there are serious problems with Canada's urban rental housing sector. The specific problems include declining and persistently low vacancy rates, declining private sector starts, and the unaffordability of private stock for a considerable portion of low- and moderate-income renters. Given the importance of rental accommodation, particularly for those lower-income households unable to enter or remain in the ownership sector, this situation has prompted a discussion as to whether the past and current approach to rental housing policy is appropriate to the solution of rental housing problems, or whether new or different strategies for addressing rental problems are warranted.
Within the context of both this discussion and of an ongoing debate as to the appropriate role of the state in housing markets, this thesis investigates what measures the Canadian government has taken over the past eighty-five years to address rental housing problems. Dividing this period into four eras - 1900-1940, 1940-1949, 1949-1964, and 1964-1985 - the thesis examines the existence and extent of rental housing problems; documents how rental problems have been defined and analyzed by housing experts and what their policy recommendations have been; and reviews the response of the federal government to rental problems. The primary assumption underlying the research is that government intervention in the rental market has been minimal, ad hoc, and largely market-supportive, and that this approach to rental problems has had an enormous impact on problem resolution. Government response to rental problems is reviewed and the research assumption is tested by examining major government and private housing studies, contemporary academic articles and media reports, statistical analyses, the debates in the House of Commons, and housing-related legislation in its original and amended forms.
The evidence suggests that government intervention in the rental sector has indeed been minimal, piecemeal and reactive, largely market-supportive, and carried out within the framework of housing as a market commodity. It suggests further that intervention in the rental sector has been shaped largely by two interrelated factors: the federal government's terms of reference for intervention in the housing market, and its failure to adequately define the rental housing problem.
The federal government's terms of reference for intervention in the housing market define housing provision as a private sector responsibility, home ownership as the desirable tenure option, housing problems as temporary conditions, and housing policy as a provincial responsibility. These terms of reference have severely constrained rental policy and program options and have prevented the implementation of potentially more effective rental programs. Moreover, they have resulted in either the neglect of Canada's rental problems or the adoption of a variety of short-term, ad hoc programs in response to crisis situations.
The federal government's failure to see the relationship between the quality, supply and affordability elements of the rental problem and thus to adequately define the problem is the second factor which has shaped intervention in the rental sector. Intervention has tended to focus on the three problem elements separately and in a clearly sequential manner, with the result that opportunities for developing a long-term, comprehensive rental housing policy aimed at simultaneous treatment, of all three aspects of the problem have been missed.
The thesis concludes that only by questioning the conventional assumptions underlying Canadian rental policy and by acknowledging the interrelatedness of the three problem areas will we make progress on resolving rental housing problems.Applied Science, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Le marché du logement se compose de deux segments principaux, le marché locatif et le marché de la vente. Bien que ces deux marchés fonctionnent différemment, les prix sur les deux marchés sont naturellement soumis à des interactions réciproques : le niveau des loyers affecte les prix de vente, mais les prix sur le marché de vente ont un impact sur les loyers. Dans la première approche, les loyers sont convertibles en prix de vente par une formule de capitalisation. Cependant, il est possible, et empiriquement observé, qu'il existe des déséquilibres entre les deux marchés. Ainsi, la dynamique relative des prix et des loyers peut varier dans le temps, mais aussi dans l'espace d'une zone urbaine : comment les prix sur les deux marchés (vente et location) sont-ils liés ? Comment l'un affecte-t-il l'autre ? La relation entre les deux prix est-elle homogène dans l'espace ? Pourquoi certains quartiers d'une agglomération ont-ils des loyers trop bas par rapport aux prix d'achat ? Cesquestions présentent un intérêt particulier pour les acteurs locaux de la politique du logement, dans un contexte de fortes tensions sur le marché du logement comme c'est le cas dans l'agglomération lyonnaise. En particulier, elles sont étroitement liées aux politiques visant à soutenir l'offre de logements ou le niveau des loyers du marché. Cette thèse propose d’étudier les liens entre ces deux marchés.Le premier chapitre de cette thèse tente d'observer si les ratios loyer/prix varient à l'intérieur d'une zone urbaine et cherche à expliquer les écarts entre les ratios loyer/prix, s'ils existent. Après avoir recalculé les ratios loyer sur prix dans l’agglomération, nous observons une hétérogénéité spatiale de ceux-ci. Dans une seconde partie de cette contribution, nous développons un modèle de « tenure choice » qui nous permet de mettre en avant des mécanismes théoriques qui expliquent les variations spatiales de ratio loyer/prix.Le deuxième chapitre de cette thèse porte sur la relation entre les prix du marché du logement privé et la construction de logements sociaux. Dans cette première contribution empirique, nous testons l'impact de la loi SRU sur le prix des logements en utilisant une méthode à double différence. Les résultats indiquent qu'à mesure que le retard de la municipalité dans l'atteinte des objectifs de la SRU augmente, il entraîne une augmentation de la construction de logements sociaux et, finalement,une diminution du prix des logements privés de la municipalité. Nous utilisons aussi une méthode de régression de discontinuité utilisant le seuil de 3500 habitants. Les résultats de cette deuxième analyse suggèrent que la construction de logements sociaux a eu un impact négatif sur le prix des logements dans les municipalités de plus de 3500 habitants.Aujourd'hui, il existe plusieurs politiques qui encouragent les propriétaires à louer des logements à loyers modérés ou qui tentent de faciliter l'accès à la propriété. Néanmoins, si ces politiques ont déjà été étudiées, ce troisième chapitre tente de comprendre leurs impacts combinés sur le marché du logement privé. En particulier, nous essayons de montrer l'impact des politiques de soutien à l'achat et à la location et des politiques de prêts à taux zéro. La première étape de notre contributionconsiste à concevoir un modèle théorique. Ce modèle théorique met en évidence les effets de chacun des deux mécanismes et met également en évidence la réaction du marché du logement lorsque chacun des deux mécanismes est couplé à une politique de contrôle des loyers. Dans une analyse empirique, nous vérifions si les prédictions du modèle précédemment développé sont valides. Les résultats indiquent que l'impact de la réforme sur le prix des logements neufs est positif.La dernière étape de notre analyse est une méthode à triple différence qui indique que la croissance du prix des logements neufs s'accélère en présence d'un contrôle contraignant des loyersThe housing market consists of two main segments, the rental market and the sales market. Although these two markets operate differently, prices on the two markets are naturally subject to reciprocal interactions: the level of rents affects prices of sale, but prices on the sales market have an impact on rents. On the first approach, the rents are convertible into a selling price by a capitalization formula. However it is empirically observed that imbalances exist between the two markets. Thus, the relative dynamics of both prices and rents can vary over time, and also in the space of an urban area. How are prices in the two markets (sale and rental) related? How does one affect the other? Is the relationship between the two prices homogeneous in space? Why is it that some neighborhoods of an agglomeration have rents that are too low in relation to purchase prices? These questions are of particular interest to local policy actors in housing, in a context of strong tensions on the housingmarket as is the case in the Lyon conurbation. In particular, they are strongly linked to policies aimed at supporting the supply of housing or the level of market rents. This thesis aims to study the link between these two markets.The first chapter of this thesis attempts to observe whether rent to price ratios vary within an urban area and seeks to explain the differences between rent to price ratios, if they exist. After recalculating the rent to price ratios in the agglomeration, we observe a spatial heterogeneity of them. In the second part of this contribution, we develop a "tenure choice" model that allows us to highlight theoretical mechanisms that explain spatial variations in the rent to price ratio.The second chapter of this thesis deals with the relationship between private housing market prices and the construction of social housing. In this first empirical contribution, we test the impact of the SRU law on house prices using a double-difference method. The results indicate that as the municipality’s delay in achieving the SRU's objectives increases, it leads to an increase in the construction of social housing and, ultimately, a decrease in the price of the municipality's private housing. We also use a discontinuity regression method using the 3500 population threshold. The results of this second analysis suggest that the construction of social housing has had a negative impact on private housing prices in municipalities with more than 3500 inhabitants.Today, there are several policies that encourage landlords to rent low-rent housing or that attempt to facilitate access to home ownership. Nevertheless, while these policies have already been studied, this third chapter attempts to understand their combined impacts on the private housing market. In particular, we try to show the impact of purchase and rental support policies and zero-interest loan policies. The first step in our contribution is to design a theoretical model. This theoretical modelhighlights the effects of each of the two mechanisms and also highlights the reaction of the housing market when each of the two mechanisms is coupled with a rent control policy. In an empirical analysis, we check whether the predictions of the previously developed model are valid. The results indicate that the impact of the reform on new housing prices is positive. The last step in our analysis is a triple-difference method that that the growth of new housing prices accelerates in the presence oftight rent controls

Some rental property owners lack risk management strategies that enable them to budget for sustainable profitability. This study provides rental property owners with risk management strategies for sustainable profitability to maintain business stability during market volatility and create stable, well-maintained housing for tenants. A mini ethnographic case study was conducted to determine the key risk management budgeting strategies rental property owners in the greater Seattle area have used to achieve sustainable profitability for at least 10 years. Enterprise risk management was applied to assess the role risk played in small rental property businesses and budgeting for sustainable profitability. Participant observation, interviews, and document review were conducted with rental property owners who had achieved sustainable profitability for at least 10 years. Data analysis software was leveraged to code the data and identify 4 key risk management budgeting strategies that contributed to sustainable profitability. The rental property owners included these 4 risk management budgeting strategies into their business: incorporating risk identification, response, and monitoring into firm strategy; cultivating a risk management network that effectively enabled them to mitigate risk; risk response to industry regulations; and creating a positive social change impact. Building on the results, 4 models of risk management budgeting were created for rental property owners searching for strategies to achieve sustainable profitability. The rental property owners in the study applied these 4 risk management budgeting strategies to achieve sustainable profitability and contribute to positive social change such as improving the well-being of tenants and communities.

Full textAbstract:
The government has through many legislations initiated programs to provide housing for those who cannot afford housing in the private market. From 1945, the government has continuously tried to fulfill those housing needs and to improve living conditions. This thesis is an overview of the policies, programs and livability of low rental housing in Canada.This study is divided into three parts. In the first part, there is a factual description of the circumstances and policies that have influenced the development of low rental housing since 1945. The second part assesses the demand and tenant characteristics for such housing. Three types of low income housing: public housing, low rental housing and cooperatives, are compared to measure their merits. The third part analyses the design criteria for such housing with reference to projects built in Montreal, Quebec. Tenants' opinions on what is satisfactory in housing projects are discussed and appropriate management policies are suggested. In the conclusion, government policies of the past, and some recent developments are summarized, and future strategies suggested.

Full textAbstract:
Social stigma on public housing is a deep-rooted and unsolvable problem, places with large-scale public housing are perceived as concentration of unemployment and crimes in which outsiders are reluctant to visit those ghettos. Some empirical researches endeavored to argue social stigma on public housing can be abated by diversifying the tenure type, while UK government is a typical example in implementing mix tenure policy. However, the situation of Hong Kong seems different, social stigma on public housing is less apparent than western countries while living in public housing is sometimes perceived as fortunate due to low rent cost and good quality.
In Hong Kong, government has not adopted any mix tenure policy whereas mix tenure of public housing, mix of renters and owners, is an unintended consequence of Tenant Purchase Scheme (TPS). In order to understand why social stigma seems less apparent in Hong Kong, this research is going to examine, first, the situation of social stigma on public housing in particular to Lam Tin district where a place with high density of public housing and mix tenure, second, if mix-tenure can alleviate social stigma on public housing in Hong Kong in which the research area will be focus on the aspects of unemployment and security because public housing is perceived as concentration of unemployment and crimes.
In regard to the above research question, two sets of questionnaires were conducted to both residents living in TPS estates and private estates in order to understand their different perceptions on the unemployment and security of public housing, and thereby the survey result will be compared with the actual statistics from governmental bodies. Generally speaking, the survey analysis indicated that both sides of resident have apparent social stigma on the security of public housing while unemployment is less seen. What is more, it is interesting that the survey findings are different from the actual situation. Although residents believed that the crime rate is higher in public housing than private housing, there is neither positive nor negative relation between the variables of high density of public housing and crime rates.
Social stigma on security was apparently seen from the survey in which majority of respondents agreed with high crime rate in public housing, yet Hong Kong government is not intended to solve the problem as what UK government did because of its historical political philosophy and financial constraints. For instance, Hong Kong government is reluctant to restrict the private developers through mix tenure policy since it would affect the historical philosophy of free economy for Hong Kong. Second, governors are accountable to explain how the public money was spent, and hence government is sensitive on spending large amount of public money to improve the security service and system. In view of the political and financial considerations, it is believed that tackling social stigma on public housing would put at lower priority in government's agenda.
Last but not least, since the survey data is only collected in Lam Tin due to time and cost limits, the findings are not extensive and could not apply to all districts of Hong Kong especially for those areas without mix-tenure. In this regard, to have a further analysis on social stigma of Hong Kong public housing, author suggested widening the data collection to conduct a more comprehensive survey.published_or_final_version

Redevelopment of aged PRH estates has been carried out for more than 40 years in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong Housing Authority. After the completion of the Comprehensive Redevelopment Programme, the HA announced the Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged Public Rental Housing Estates in 2011 to continue its work on redevelopment. The Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged Public Rental Housing Estates shows the determination of the Hong Kong Housing Authority to improve its redevelopment policy as it has been pushed forward right after the completion of the previous programme. However, it has been criticized by tenants, public, District Councillors and Legislative Councillors for its inefficiency and ineffectiveness. In this dissertation, the deficiencies of the Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged Public Rental Housing Estates and the Pak Tin Estate Redevelopment Project, and successful elements of the Comprehensive Redevelopment Programme and the Lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate Redevelopment Project are assessed and examined. These assessment help to understand that problems of the current policy and project are caused by the setting and the implementation strategy of the Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged Public Rental Housing Estates. Recommendations have been proposed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged Public Rental Housing Estates and develop it into a systematic and people-oriented redevelopment policy.published_or_final_version

This paper identifies the effect of agricultural subsidies on farmland rental rates in the United States. Rental agreements are primarily between farmers and non-farmer landlords, but no evidence exists concerning the incidence of subsidies on these two groups. By exploiting a unique policy change in 1996 and a nationally representative dataset of individual farms, I solve the endogeneity problem with fixed effects and instrumental variables techniques. I show that non-farmer landlords capture forty percent of the marginal subsidy dollar per acre. This finding is in sharp contrast to the basic assumptions in the literature that suggest full incidence on the landlords. I discuss possible characteristics of the farmland rental market that would result in less than perfect incidence.

Taking into consideration the existing financial crisis in Spain and the opportunity it carries for real estate agents and rooms/apartments owners to rent out their properties, roomsDB.net propose to launch a new room rental website to take advantage of the current niche existing in Madrid, Spain. The management team have direct knowledge of developing and running a successful room rental website in Singapore with six years of experience. In the big market of real estate we determined that the best option for us in Madrid is non-luxury apartments/rooms. We are confident that we are not going to find fierce competition in the medium-term and we will take advantage of this to become the leaders in this segment of the market. Moreover, some of the current competitors do not have the option for agents to post their offers in their websites and we do will offer this service. The website will be different from competitors in customer oriented service, user friendly platform, immediate response to enquiries as well as achieving a lower cost base. The promoters plan to raise an initial €60,000 to launch the website with a forecast of obtaining the 25% of the market share in the industry in Madrid. Based on case scenarios forecast, the website is forecast to generate cash from the first year of operation and the business will be also cash generative from the same year. The attached case scenario forecasts show a rapid growth and producing attractive returns. By year five, the return on investment is 55 per cent.

Using quarterly data on rental and sale prices and quantities between 2018 and2020, as well as on short-term rental registries, this paper uses difference-in-differences to evaluate the short-run impact of the pandemic on Lisbon’s property market in civil parishes differentially exposed to short-term rental density. Results suggest that more “touristic” areas suffered a steeper decrease in rental prices, driven by a reallocation of apartments from the short- to the long-term rental market. We also document a drop in sale prices with no visible impact on quantities for sale. To address endogeneity concerns, we use an instrument based on the density of museums per civil parish, showing that results are unchanged.
