But because I am an urban hukou, I don't have a corner of the mountain village where I can stand.
Now, urban residents don't have to worry about the rural demand for old-age care.
In order to further revitalize the rural idle homestead resources, the state relaxed the restrictions on the property rights of rural homesteads, issued the Notice on Active and Steady Revitalization of Rural Idle Homestead and Idle Houses, and issued the first approval letter for rural homesteads.
Can the right to use rural homestead only be used for self-built houses?
The Notice on Actively and Steadily Carrying out the Revitalization and Utilization of Idle Homestead and Idle Houses in Rural Areas clarifies that after obtaining the approval of rural homesteads, residents can use their self-built houses to meet the needs of the elderly, and they can also develop catering homestays, rural old-age care and other industries within the scope permitted by policies to boost rural revitalization.
Does the liberalization of rural homestead property rights only create convenience for urban residents?
In my opinion, the moderate liberalization of homestead property rights is also of great benefit to rural residents, creating a win-win situation.
Why do you say that? Let's look at a real example.
Mr Yao, retired from Meitan County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province on 20 14, is an engineer. He has always wanted to tear down and rebuild the old house (Mr. Yao's hometown) stored in Jiuba Gongsheshan Brigade in Meitan County, not only to provide for the elderly, but also to use his own resources to return to his hometown to contribute to rural revitalization.
Due to the lack of policy guarantee, this idea has not been implemented.
After the introduction of the policy of moderately liberalizing the property rights of rural homestead, Mr. Yao took the initiative to go back to his hometown to communicate with the local grass-roots party branch to apply, and finally got the approval of rural homestead, which can be used for 160 square meters of homestead with a service life of 70 years.
This not only means that Mr. Yao's wish has come true, but also effectively invigorates the idle resources in rural areas and introduces engineering talents to Meitan County.
Not only that, the moderate liberalization of homestead is also a means of regulation to meet the needs of the times. On the basis of revitalizing idle resources in rural areas, it can inject vitality into rural areas and solve some problems of "one hundred yuan for providing for the aged".
For example: renting property rights to obtain rent.
It has been noticed that most people who stay at home in rural areas are old people, while young people go to work in cities. If possible, they will take the elderly to live in the city, leaving only an old house in the countryside unattended.
And this old house may be the "old-age pastoral" that the city people expect.
After the property right of rural homestead was moderately liberalized, the unbalanced relationship between vacant houses and hard-to-find bases was solved.
Urban residents can rent rural residents' homestead to use property rights to meet the needs of "rural pension", and rural residents can also get a rent to increase their pension income.
From a social perspective, the moderate relaxation of rural homestead property rights will reduce some social pension burdens for the upcoming "super-aging".
According to statistics, most rural areas in China have taken the lead in entering the "aging" stage, and the proportion of the elderly population will exceed 20% in 2035.
By then, the pension situation facing the society will be more severe.
How to prevent the problems brought by the "super-aging" society?
It is a powerful measure to let the elderly who yearn for the "rural pension" life return to the countryside, or to provide policy protection for urban residents in need, so that they can have villages to return to and land to build.
By relaxing the restrictions on the right to use rural homesteads, a new market-the pension market will be formed. By formulating the benefit distribution mechanism in advance, we will provide strong policy guarantee for urban residents and rural residents, so that residents can rent and use in the market with peace of mind.
Of course, many rural residents are worried that once the property rights are leased, the lessee will have the right to build a house independently. What should I do if the homestead is built indiscriminately or even illegally? The "Notice" clarified the conditions for the lessee to revitalize the homestead and the requirements for renting the homestead, which provided a strong policy guarantee for protecting the rural collective assets and the rights and interests of rural residents.
In order to protect their rights and interests, rural residents must pay attention to the following two points:
First, residents whose registered permanent residence is still in rural areas must keep the Property Certificate obtained after confirmation;
Second, rural residents who have moved out of their household registration should handle the matter of confirming their rights as soon as possible. Confirmation of rights generally requires the right holder of homestead to come forward. Once the owner of the homestead dies and the house collapses, it is impossible to confirm the right, and the homestead will be taken back.
In a word, the moderate liberalization of the homestead not only provides a channel for rural residents to broaden the sources of pension funds, but also realizes the desire of urban residents to "support the elderly in rural areas" and disperses the pressure of supporting the elderly for the city, which is a multi-objective win-win situation.
