According to experts in this field, disorder in the rental market is caused by a legal or regulatory gap in the field of housing rental and the performance of trading companies.
The representatives of the 11th parliament started working to organize this situation and formulated the “plan to control and regulate the rent of residential properties” after numerous meetings and consultation with economic and legal experts, which two urgent issues of this plan were presented in the session of May 28 last year. It was approved. The details of this plan were also approved in the public meeting on July 1, 1401, but this plan was again referred to the civil commission with the proposal of the government and the decision of the presiding committee of the parliament.

The rent price is not proportional to the household income
Ali Khazarian, the designer of the land, housing and rent market organization plan, says: “The current rent price has no proportion to the income of the majority of households, and a significant amount of household expenses is spent on providing housing.”

Incomplete implementation of the tax law on empty houses
One of the factors Disruption The housing rental market has a high number of empty houses, and if these houses are put on the market for rent, the housing rental price will definitely decrease, but unfortunately, the tax law on empty houses, which was approved at the beginning of the 11th parliament, is not well implemented.
Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Speaker of the Islamic Council, also mentioned this issue in a televised interview with the people a few nights ago and said: “According to the statistics, there is a significant number of empty houses. The parliament passed the tax on empty houses, which was poorly implemented. Of course, the government is trying to implement it. A year has passed since the approval of this law, and considering the existence of several million empty houses, more attention should have been paid to it.”
According to Iqbal Shakri, the representative of the people of Tehran in the Islamic Council, a mechanism for identifying empty houses is also considered in this plan.
