Li Chen from Suzhou, Anhui Province is about to graduate from college. Not long ago, he passed five levels and six generals and received a recruitment notice from a Shanghai company. Unexpectedly, troubles followed - he was planning to share a house near the company he joined. He originally bargained with the landlord and determined that the rent was more than 3,000 yuan per month, but a few days later, the landlord suddenly notified him that he would raise the price by 600 yuan.
"I wanted to find a house again, but after searching for a while, I found that the rent price of almost the same house has generally increased by 500 to 800 yuan recently." This gave Li Chen a headache because after he joined the internship, , the monthly salary per month was more than 5,000 yuan. Excluding rent, the salary was almost gone.
In big cities, especially first-tier cities, there are many college graduates like Li Chen who are worried about renting a house. In order to get a decent job or realize their ideals and self-worth, they try every means to stay in big cities to work, while at the same time they have to face the high rents in big cities. This is really unbearable for some college graduates who are about to enter the workplace and have relatively limited income.
How to solve the problems of difficulty and high cost of renting a house for college graduates in big cities? Recently, many experts proposed in an interview with the reporter of " Rule of Law Daily " that it is necessary to further improve the housing security system and strengthen the construction of low-rent housing, ensure that cities have a sustainable and recyclable supply of low-rent housing, and ensure that workers, especially college graduates, obtain adequate housing rights.

Graduation choice to stay in a big city
Should I stay in Hefei, Anhui, where I have been studying for 4 years or return to my hometown Huaibei ? For college graduate Liu Yang, there is no need to think about this question. "Of course, it is to continue to stay in big cities. This place not only gives people a broader vision, but most importantly, there are many employment opportunities, better salary and a fairer competitive environment." Liu Yang said that in order to stay in big cities, she is preparing to take the civil service exam, and if she doesn't work, she will continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
The reason why Li Yu, a college graduate from Binzhou, Shandong, chose to stay in a big city is also because he is interested in the diverse employment opportunities here. He majored in programming during his college years. This type of major has neither a demand nor a corresponding position in small cities. "It is the only choice to find a way to stay in big cities after graduation."
There are many graduates who have the same idea as Liu Yang and Li Yu. According to the statistics of 58.com and Ganji Direct Recruitment, Shenzhen and Guangzhou are the preferred employment cities for a large number of graduates, among which the net inflow rate of graduates in Shenzhen reached 3.5%. In addition, Changsha, Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin are also quite popular among graduates, all showing a net inflow trend. For graduates born in the 2000s, for personal development, they are more inclined to find jobs in new first-tier cities such as Hangzhou, Xi'an, Changsha, Chengdu, and , Qingdao, and .
Associate Professor Li Haiming of the Central University of Finance and Economics said that the concentration of talents in big cities is a global trend, and most countries have a tendency to concentrate populations in big cities.
"There are many universities in big cities, and college students complete their studies and even internships here, and they are very familiar with this city. In addition, there are relatively more employment opportunities in big cities, and the employment environment and legal environment are relatively better. Staying employment has become the first choice. Some graduates passively find employment between the 'countries that cannot be returned to' and 'cities that cannot be kept', and eventually they often lower their requirements and stay in big cities." Li Haiming said.
House rent disputes occur frequently
It is not easy to stay in the city to work
If you want to stay in a big city to work, you have opportunities and problems. One of the big problems is the difficulty of renting a house.
Zhao Ping, a native of Nanyang, Henan who studied in a university in Beijing, received employment notices from two law firms before graduation, one in Chaoyang, Beijing and the other in Zhengzhou, Henan. After repeated weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Ping decided to join a law firm in Zhengzhou.
"The main reason is that the rent in Beijing is too high, I can't afford it." Zhao Ping told reporters that renting a bedroom of about 10 square meters near the above-mentioned Beijing law firm is more than 3,000 yuan per month. If you want to reduce the monthly rent to less than 2,000 yuan, the daily commuting time will have to exceed 1 hour per day. "The work intensity of the law firm is already quite high. If I still have to squeeze buses and subways for a long time every day, I feel that I can't hold on."
According to the latest monthly report of the Beijing real estate rental market of Beike Research Institute, in 2022, the average price of newly listed houses in Beijing has a significant upward trend compared with last year. Before the college graduation season arrived, the rental listing price in April was approaching the peak level of 2021. Cerry data shows that cities such as Shanghai started a slight increase in May this year.
In addition to the expensive rent, renting a satisfactory house is not easy. College graduates encountered "black intermediaries", The landlord suddenly requested price increases and false propaganda and other problems have also been reported to the newspapers.
Wu Di, a Tianjin college student who graduated this year, encountered such troubles. He found a room with a lower monthly rent in , Hebei District, and everything was ready. However, the landlord temporarily asked him to buy some appliances and furniture, and he could not take it away after checking out. These requirements were not presented on the contract before. Wu Di, who had no way out, had no choice but to accept it.
Some media recently came to the full range of A questionnaire survey initiated by a National University student showed that more than 40% of the respondents said that the landlord or relatives and friends did not reasonably raise the price when renewing the lease, did not refund the deposit when checking out, and had to pay extra fees during check-in; in addition, there were cases where no contract was signed, decoration pollution, secondary landlords made a difference in price, landlords or house managers did not perform maintenance obligations in accordance with the contract, and even the intermediary ran away after using rent loan .
Many places issued relevant policies
works together to solve the problem of renting a house
In order to solve the problem of renting a house for college graduates, many places have introduced policies such as renting subsidies for graduates, reducing or exempting rent deposits, and providing good housing rental services for graduation season.
On June 8, the Wuhan Municipal Government of Hubei Province issued the "Notice on Further Improving Employment and Entrepreneurship for College Graduates in Wuhan", obtaining a full-time college degree or above in ordinary colleges and universities, and within 6 years of graduation, this notice is announced From the date of the date, college graduates who have worked in Wuhan and paid social insurance normally and have no own housing in Wuhan, who rented a house for talents who rented a house during the validity period of their qualifications, shall pay the rent at no more than 70% of the market rent, and the cumulative reduction period shall not exceed 3 years.
Recently, the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province issued the "Notice on Further Improving Free Accommodation for Job Search and Internships for College Graduates", saying that within three years of graduation (including the graduation year) they intend to seek jobs, entrepreneurship, internships and internships in Guangdong for the whole day graduates from other places in colleges and universities can apply for free accommodation for up to one year, and each person is only allowed to enjoy it once.
regulates the housing rental market, protects the legitimate rights and interests of tenants, and further demonstrates the role of legislation. The " Beijing Housing Rental Regulations " recently reviewed and approved and will be implemented from September 1 this year stipulates that the Beijing housing and urban-rural development departments should strengthen the monitoring of housing rental prices, and when housing rents rise significantly or may rise significantly , Beijing Municipal People's Government can adopt price intervention measures such as price increase declaration, limiting rent or rent increase to stabilize the rent level. If the lessor refuses to implement it, the market supervision and management department will handle it in accordance with the law.
Li Haiming believes that direct subsidy reduction and exemption are temporary means and direct intervention. If used well, it can alleviate the temporary urgent situation. However, from the perspective of medium- and long-term application effects, the cost will be borne by the employer who rents the house, and the rent of the subsidy reduction and exemption will eventually be Transfer to those who rent a house. The difficulty of graduates in renting a house must be solved by the improvement of the housing security system and the realization of workers' right to adequate housing.
School of Law of China University of Labor Relations teacher Li Jing suggested that local governments strengthen the construction of low-rent housing to ensure that cities have a continuous and recyclable supply of low-rent housing; relevant departments regulate the rental market and conduct regular inspections to ensure that there are no hidden dangers for rental houses and that rental information is true; schools and others carry out anti-fraud science and technology and legal publicity on renting.
In addition to solving the problem of renting a house, in Li Haiming's view, if big cities want to retain and retain college graduates well, they should also do a lot of supporting work, such as strengthening the implementation of the labor and social security legal system to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of workers who have just entered the employment market; improving the labor and personnel file management system to ensure that the files of college graduates do not become burdens; strengthening the management of the human resources service market, strengthening the career development norms in industry norms, so that college graduates can obtain good vocational training and career development after employment.
