The rental market remains highly regulated with all private dwellings build before 1991 subject to strict rent control. Easing rent regulation and reducing housing subsidies as discussed in the 2016 Survey would stimulate a better utilisation of the housing stock and a larger private rental market. In turn, a larger and more dynamic rental market would ease the upward price pressure on the owner-occupied segment and promote labour mobility. Finally, selective support to parents to buy flats to rent to their children should be terminated to ease high demand for smaller flats.
