On September 26, it was announced that nearly 70% of the apartments in two new public rental housing (PRH) estates will be rented out for less than HK$2,500 per month. The Housing Authority revealed that rents for a total of 2,551 new units in Kwun Tong and Sheung Shui will be priced at the most advantageous rates for their respective districts.

In urban areas, the rent for 1,088 flats in Kin Yan House and Moon Yan House at Hiu Yan Estate in Kwun Tong will be set at HK$104.4 per square meter. Meanwhile, the 1,463 flats in Fu Pak House and Kam Yuk House at Choi Shek Estate in Sheung Shui will have a monthly rent of HK$74 per square meter.


The authority emphasized that these rents are heavily subsidized and include expenses such as rates, management fees, and maintenance costs. Additionally, applicants who are allocated new flats but find the rent unaffordable may request refurbished flats at lower rents or seek assistance through the Rent Assistance Scheme.


租金定於HK$2,500以下,兩個新公共房屋屋苑70%單位可租


在9月26日宣布,將近70%的兩個新公共租住房屋(PRH)屋苑的單位租金將低於HK$2,500每月。房屋署表示,位於觀塘和上水的2,551個新單位的租金將按各自區域的最佳租金水平定價。


在市區,觀塘的喜恩邨建欣樓和月欣樓共1,088個單位的租金定為每平方米HK$104.4。而上水的彩石邨富柏樓和錦旭樓的1,463個單位則為每平方米HK$74的月租。


房屋署強調,這些租金是大幅補貼的,包括地稅、管理費和維修費用。此外,若申請人獲分配的新單位租金負擔過重,亦可要求租金較低的翻新單位或申請租金援助計劃的協助。
