Risking Housing Need

It is commonly suggested that social housing is allocated on the basis of 'need'. The authors, however, suggest that the concept of risk provides a much better explanation of the complex interplay of interests involved in the allocation process. In particular, risk explains developing allocation methods in low-demand areas. The thesis is exemplified by drawing upon data derived from the authors' original research on the rehousing of sex offenders.     

高房价背景下住房权之保证

高房价已经成为困扰我国民生发展之大问题。从法理学的角度分析高房价发生的原因及其不合理性,指出高房价违背市场规律,违背社会上多数人的利益和期待,违背人们的社会正义感,并在此基础上从住房权的视角对此给予充分的反思,且在考察列国关于管制高房价的经验的基础之上,提出保障住房权的法律制度体系构想十分必要。     

Inclusionary Housing After Koontz

Abstract

Inclusionary housing requirements, typically determined locally, have met with mixed success in the courts. After the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Koontz v. St. Johns River Water Management District (Koontz), many are wondering if they have become harder to defend.     

重塑政府廉租住房保障制度——兼论实物配租

2007年建设部等九部委在全国推行的《廉租住房保障办法》拉开了我国城市住房保障制度改革的序幕。当前在政府廉租住房保障制度运行过程中存在房源短缺、资金不足、保障方式不尽合理、管理机制不够健全、保障对象退出难等问题，这就难以充分发挥该制度的住房保障作用。为切实改善城市低收入住房困难群体的居住条件，迫切需要加大有关实物配租的法律调控力度，以消解困境，推进廉租住房保障制度的顺利进展。     

我国保障性住房研究

保障性住房是关系到人民群众切身利益的重大民生问题,自我国住房制度改革实施以来,为解决人民群众的住房困难做出了很大贡献,但因我国保障性住房制度制定时间较短,在实施过程中不可避免地存在这样那样的问题,这需要在实践中不断修正提高。作为省社科联的研究课题,课题组试图从当前存在的问题入手,并对这些问题存在的原因进行分析,并借鉴国外保障性住房的一些成功经验,提出在坚持住宅市场化方向的前提下,结合我国现状,积极、稳定、协调地推进保障性住房建设,在推进过程中遵循"尽力而为"和"量力而行"的行动准则,构建公正、合理、有效且可行的住房保障制度。     

Fair Share Housing for Managed Growth

The Mt. Laurel decision represents the culmination of judicial thinking in exclusionary zoning type litigation. Implicit in decisions striking down local land use controls found to be “exclusionary” in nature has been the notion that a community has a legal duty to accept a “fair share” of the housing needs of the region. Fair share housing now begins to take on some substance with the New Jersey court's decision. Similar language on responsibilities for regional needs may be found in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decisions in Kit-Mar and Girsh, and in the federal district court's opinion in Petaluma.     

商品房交付条件探究

从商品房交付条件的相关规定进行分析,符合法定交付条件的文件应是竣工验收备案证。而从法理上分析,商品房交付条件应是有产权证,同时交付标准具有不断提高的驱动力,提高交付条件可以通过循序渐进的方式逐步实现。     

The Trend in Housing Density Bonuses

A growing number of upper-income suburban communities are having trouble recruiting teachers, firemen, policemen, and postal employees because there is not enough low- and moderate-price housing. In these communities, workers employed in local retail trade, food and drink establishments, laundries, service stations, and other low-wage jobs suffer even more critical housing shortages. Manufacturing plants which could ease tax burdens won't move to a town if they have to pay premium wages to attract workers who live in distant communities.     

农村住房所有权及宅基地使用权转让的理论思考

农村住房所有人依法有权转让其住房。作为完整的用益物权，宅基地使用权也包括处分权能，但含义不同于所有权中的处分权能。住房所有权与宅基地所有权或使用权转让有同类型；折中主义下的转让，也有不同情形。在我国部分地区可以进行农村住房所有权与宅基地使用权合一自由转让的试点工作。我国历史上有农村住房所有权与宅基地使用权的转让，现实中也大量存在。     

Private Law and Housing Justice in Europe

This article explores the different meanings of the right to housing in Europe in public and private relations with housing providers. In light of the fundamental right to housing's meaning in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union, we offer a new reading of the CJEU judgments that have hitherto been heralded as extending the social dimension of EU (private) law. We submit that the emphasis on economic and procedural rights risks further ‘economisation’ of housing relations in Europe. While the possibilities to grant direct horizontal effect to the right to housing in EU law currently offer limited potential to counter this trend, private law provides part of the framework for a further balancing of social and economic elements in housing cases. Accordingly, we call for a debate on the specific aspects of horizontal relationships in the complex system of housing justice.     

论小产权房流转——原罪的形成与应然法的选择

小产权房是一种事实上的称呼,难以对其下一个精准的定义。尽管对小产权房流转的法律效力存在争议,在现行体制下其事实上无效却是不争的事实。主张严格限制小产权房流转的理由虽言之凿凿,却难以经得起推敲。限制小产权房流转阻碍了社会发展,理应改变。     

商品房交付纠纷的法律分析

交付对于双方来说,都享有权利也承担义务;交付争议产生的重要原因,在于混淆了交付条件与交付标准,前者是法定的,决定了房屋能否交付使用,后者是约定的,只涉及违约责任的承担,不影响交付;竣工验收合格是交付条件的核心,但以竣工验收备案表为验收合格的标志是不正确的,等于变相设立行政许可;以书面通知作为交付的要件不合理,建设单位可以通过约定规避该风险;交付时买受人有权查验房屋,但质量争议不应当影响交付的完成;除非房屋本身具有导致合同目的不能实现的重大缺陷外,即使买受人有客观原因,也不是对抗交付的正当理由。
