Enterprises with difficulties in production and operation affected by the epidemic may apply for reducing the deposit ratio of housing provident fund or delaying the payment of housing provident fund, and then resume the deposit ratio or repay it after normal operation.

During the epidemic prevention and control period, medical care, health, public transport, property, community work and other public rental housing security objects involved in the epidemic prevention and control front line are exempted from public rental housing rent and receive rental subsidies, which are distributed according to local urban minimum living standards. For families affected by the epidemic, if it is difficult to pay the rent of public rental housing on time, the rent can be postponed with the consent of the local housing security department.

If the family is in arrears with the rent, it will not be urged to pay the rent. If the rent is in arrears for 6 months or more, the qualification will not be cancelled temporarily. If the rent is paid in one lump sum after the outbreak, the time when the rent is not paid in time during the epidemic prevention and control period is not included in the accumulated long-term rental time; During the epidemic prevention and control period, the vacant time of affordable housing for families is not accumulated.
