The consultant of the Minister of Roads and Urban Development in explaining the second axis of the plan to organize the rental market said: One of the issues that regularly bothered the people, especially the tenants, is the bubble issue of housing market prices and rents. Article 8 of this plan allows the Supreme Housing Council to increase Manage the created price and act on reasonable pricing in this market.

Necessary measures have been taken.
