Article 14 of the Measures for the Administration of Commercial Housing Lease stipulates that within 31 days after the conclusion of the housing lease contract, the parties to the housing lease shall go to the construction (real estate) department of the people's government of the municipality directly under the central government, city or county where the leased house is located to register the housing lease (including foreigners). The parties to the house lease may entrust others to handle the lease registration in writing. This shows that it is necessary to put on record.
