This notice is applicable to small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households (hereinafter referred to as small and micro enterprises) in the service industry who are registered in Beijing or pay taxes in Beijing and rent state-owned houses in government agencies, institutions and state-owned enterprises (including state-owned holding enterprises and state-owned enterprises). The scope of the service industry can be identified by the National Bureau of Statistics’ Classification of National Economic Industries in 2017 (GB/T 4754—2017) and the Notice on Amending the Provisions on Three Industrial Divisions (2012) (Guo Tong Design Management Letter [2018] No.74). The scope of small and micro enterprises can be identified by referring to the inquiry module of the directory of small and micro enterprises on the official website of the State Administration of Market Supervision, or by the proof materials provided by the lessee that meet the classification standards of Notice on Printing and Distributing the Classification Standards for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (No.300 [2011] of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) and Notice on Printing and Distributing the Classification Standards for Financial Enterprises (No.309 [2015] of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology).
Second, the relief requirements
In 2022, the state-owned houses listed as high-risk areas in the epidemic area will be exempted from the rent for six months in 2022 according to the rent standard agreed in the house lease contract; Rent for other areas will be reduced for 3 months. The relief work should be basically completed in the first half of the year; If the medium and high risk areas added after the issuance of this Notice need to be supplemented and reduced to 6 months, they will be completed within 2 months from the time they are listed as medium and high risk areas. If the lessee’s actual lease term is less than one year in 2022, it will enjoy the reduction and exemption in proportion to the actual lease term. If the lease contract involves special circumstances such as rent-free period, it shall be agreed by both parties through consultation.
Third, the way of relief
State-owned housing rental units can take free, refund and other ways to reduce rent.

For the houses that are subletted, if the sublessors are government agencies, institutions and state-owned enterprises in this Municipality, the lessor and the sublessor shall reduce or exempt the rent for the sublessor and the final lessee respectively according to the rent standards agreed in the lease contract; If the sublessor is not the above-mentioned state-owned unit, the state-owned housing rental unit shall reduce the rent for the sublessor according to the standard, and require the sublessor to reduce all the rent reduced to the small and micro enterprises that are finally leased by signing a reduction agreement with the sublessor and the final lessee, and advocate the sublessor to share the reduction amount reasonably. If the sublessor intercepts or refuses to cooperate with the rent reduction and exemption without reason, the state-owned housing rental unit may stipulate in the reduction and exemption agreement that it should be included in the "blacklist" of state-owned housing lease, its behavior should be exposed or the lease contract should be terminated in advance.
