物业服务合同抗辩权的行使与限制——兼评《审理物业服务纠纷案件的解释》第5、6条

物业服务合同中,业主动辄以物业服务不符合要求为由行使抗辩权,拒交物业费。因物业服务合同的特殊性,抗辩权的行使存在许多弊端,如妨害小区业主的正常生活、妨害物业公司的正常经营、损害小区环境等。最高人民法院的《解释》第5、6条对业主抗辩权的行使与限制作了规定,对于平衡业主与物业公司的利益关系具有积极意义。但仍有必要适当强化对业主行使抗辩权的限制,如对合同主体抗辩的限制、业主单个行使抗辩权的限制,应当规定只有达到一定数量的业主同意才能行使抗辩权;通过业主委员会来行使抗辩权,将业主行使抗辩权的行为作为业主团体共同决定的事项。同时,物业公司对欠费业主行使抗辩权时,必须确保已交物业费业主的利益不受损害,不得对欠费业主停水、断电或停止小区公共服务。应当通过完善物业费收取公示制度、完善欠费催缴程序、发挥业主委员会的催缴作用、引入督促程序等,来进一步完善物业费收缴制度。

宅基地上私权处分的路径设计

《物权法》对宅基地上私权流动问题未予回答，为目前法律解释和适用制造了混乱。在立法论上，应当从反思房地强制捆绑交易模式入手，重新界定房地关系，在谨慎对待宅基地使用权直接处分行为的同时，应毫无保留地支持农民对自有住宅的处分自由。按照平等、效率、自由和社会保障的要求，调谐房地异主以后权利人之间的关系，以地上权为枢纽构建允许私权处分的宅基地上权利群体系。     

THE REPRODUCTION OF RACIAL INEQUALITY: HOW CRIME AFFECTS HOUSING TURNOVER*

This study examines the microlevel process of housing turnover between Blacks and Whites to assess whether crime plays an important role in the racial transition of neighborhoods. The study uses a unique, longitudinal version of the National Crime Survey in which each dwelling's close neighbors are identified. After controlling for household characteristics and the characteristics of their close neighbors, crime occurring in nearby areas is found to increase the chances of White-to-Black turnover while decreasing the chances of Black-to-White turnover. This change occurs even though the directly victimized houses do not necessarily have a probability of racial turnover different than that of other houses nearby. The findings suggest the presence of structural constraints that limit the housing opportunities for Blacks and constrain their choice of residence to comparatively unsafe neighborhoods. They also indicate that “White avoidance,” in which Whites systematically bypass high-crime neighborhoods, is important in maintaining the relationship between race and crime.     

The titularization of Latvian secondary schools: The historical legacy of Soviet policy implementation

Abstract

Few would deny that the Soviet occupation has had an effect on post-restoration policy making and implementation in Latvia. Indeed, many commentators of post-Soviet politics insist that we must come to terms with the Soviet to understand the post-Soviet. In our view, the effects of the Soviet legacy on the policy process are clearly apparent in post-restoration Latvia, specifically in the area of language education policy. This article argues that both Soviet and post-Soviet policy making and implementation can be characterized in three ways: duplicity, a Soviet ethos, and “professionalization”. In what follows, we first engage with the Soviet policy process in general and the 1958–59 education reforms specifically. Based on interviews with education professionals, teachers and parents, we then analyze Latvian education laws and their implementation in 2004, highlighting the legacy of Soviet governance.     

台湾的社会流动——基于跨时间段的比较分析

阶级和贫富分化问题是近年来台湾社会的一个热点问题。本文通过对代际和代内流动的分析以及对不同时间段社会流动的比较分析,发现台湾的代际流动性整体上较高,并没有形成明显的阶级边界,而代内流动在整体上呈封闭趋势,特别是向上流动的阻力越来越大,阶级的边界正在形成。台湾的阶级关系处于一种"半结构化"的状态。

The Reconcentration of Poverty: Patterns of Housing Voucher Use, 2000 to 2008

In theory, housing choice vouchers provide low-income families with increased neighborhood options. However, previous research is mixed regarding whether the program promotes integration. Examining the 50 most populous U.S. metropolitan areas, I find that households using vouchers are more economically and racially segregated than an extremely low-income comparison group. However, voucher households in areas with source-of-income protection laws are less racially segregated than voucher households in areas without such laws.     

The Impact of Homeless Prevention on Residential Instability: Evidence From the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program

ABSTRACT

Millions of individuals and families in the United States do not have access to stable housing. Recent policies in the United States and the rest of the developed world emphasize programs intended to prevent homelessness through temporary financial assistance. This article explores the impact of the largest homelessness prevention program in U.S. history, the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program (HPRP), on residential instability, using a national sample of families with children enrolled in school. The identification strategy exploits variations on the location of HPRP providers. Using data on the ratio of K–12 students experiencing homelessness in school districts, we find that HPRP is associated with reductions in the percentage of homeless students for districts closer to an HPRP provider. However, the impacts of HPRP fade out when program benefits end, bringing into question whether homeless prevention can help families achieve self-sufficiency in the long run.
