在香港，共有超过73,000套非标准住宅（即不符合政府规定的住宅单元）的房东申请了为期三年的宽限期，以使其符合政府的最低标准。住房事务局局长将这一数字形容为“超出预期”。
More than 73,000 subdivided flats in Hong Kong have applied for a three-year grace period to meet the government’s minimum standards, a figure the housing chief has described as “better than expected”. Secretary for Housing Winnie Ho Wing-yin said on Saturday that authorities received around 73,800 applications during the “early bird” registration phase under the Basic Housing Unit Ordinance, which closed on August 31.
住房事务局局长吴永贤（Winnie Ho Wing-yin）在周六表示，在《基本住宅单位条例》规定的“提前登记”阶段（该阶段于8月31日结束），当局共收到了约73,800份申请。吴永贤在一个广播节目中透露，这些申请占香港预计存在的110,000套非标准住宅的近70%；其中已有42套住宅被认证为符合政府标准。
The tally represented nearly 70 per cent of the city’s estimated 110,000 subdivided flats, with 42 already certified as compliant, Ho told a radio programme. “The progress is better than I expected,” she said.
“目前的进展比我预期的要好，”她说，“随着宽限期的开始，人们逐渐熟悉认证流程，并找到合适的装修公司或专业人士来处理相关事宜，符合标准的住宅数量预计还会继续增加。”她敦促尚未申请的房东在明年3月宽限期开始前尽快完成相关手续。
“We expect that as we gradually enter the three-year grace period, as people become familiar with the certification process and find suitable renovation companies and professionals to handle it, the certification numbers will rise.”Ho urged remaining landlords to before the grace period began next March.
根据香港的首个五年计划，政府希望通过增加住房供应和缩短公屋等候时间，到2030年彻底消除所有非标准住宅。
“We hope all landlords will first, regardless of what you decide to do in the future, whether you continue operating or not, or rectify the current situation to make it compliant,” she said.
在3月至8月期间申请宽限期的房东，每套住宅可免交3,000港元（约合382美元）的认证费用，这一优惠措施有效期至2029年2月为止。目前正在进行第二轮为期六个月的登记活动，该活动将进一步提供费用减免优惠，从而完成整个为期一年的申请流程。
Under Hong Kong’s inaugural five-year plan, authorities aim to eliminate substandard subdivided flats in residential buildings by 2030 by boosting supply and cutting public housing waiting times. Landlords who applied between March and August qualified for a waiver of HK$3,000 (US$382) in recognition fees per subdivided flat until February 2029.
从明年3月起，只有符合政府最低标准并被认证为“基本住宅单位”的非标准住宅才能合法出租（宽限期内的住宅除外）。
A second six-month registration round, offering smaller fee discounts, is now under way and will complete the overall one-year application period.
宽限期从2027年3月持续到2030年2月，为房东提供了充足的时间来翻新和改造他们的房产，使其符合政府规定。
From March next year, only subdivided flats that meet minimum requirements and are certified as “basic housing units” may be legally leased, except for those covered by the grace period.
关键规定：房东必须承担房屋的翻新及认证费用，并向政府支付每套公寓 3,000 港元的费用，以获得“基本住房单位”的认定。
The grace period runs from March 2027 to February 2030, giving landlords time to refurbish and certify their properties.
在同一场新闻发布会上，何女士透露：王福苑（Wang Fuk Court）90.6% 的业主已签署了接受政府回购方案的同意书。
Landlords must bear renovation and certification costs and pay the government HK$3,000 per subdivided flat for recognition as basic housing units.
此次声明是在首批约 100 名业主本周早些时候选定了新公寓后的三天内发布的。
On the same programme, Ho revealed that 90.6 per cent of Wang Fuk Court owners had returned signed letters accepting the government’s buy-back offer.
去年 11 月王福苑发生火灾后，当局推出了一个耗资 78 亿港元的回购计划，旨在收购该住宅区的所有公寓。根据该计划，业主可以选择用获得的现金补偿在私人市场上购买公寓，或参加政府推出的“以旧换新”（flat-for-flat）购房计划。
She spoke three days after the first batch of about 100 homeowners selected their replacement flats earlier this week. Following last November’s fire at Wang Fuk Court, authorities launched a HK$7.8 billion plan to buy back flats at the eight-block subsidised housing estate.
何女士表示，专门的解释团队每天都会协助约 30户业主完成相关手续；其中许多业主为老年人，他们需要时间与家人商量后再做决定。
Under the scheme, participants can use the cash compensation to purchase a flat on the private market or join a special sales exercise to buy new subsidised housing under the government’s “flat-for-flat” arrangement.
她补充说，像九龙湾（Kowloon Bay）和粉岭（Fanling）等地区的项目由于完工时间较短，因此非常受欢迎——业主们希望尽快搬进新居。
Ho said a dedicated explanation team accompanied around 30 households daily, assisting them through the process, as many comprised elderly residents who needed time to consult their families.
何女士还指出，尚未签署购房协议的剩余 10% 业主应在 10 月 15 日前完成相关手续。
Public housing estates with faster completion times, such as those in Kowloon Bay and Fanling, proved popular as residents wanted to move into their new homes as soon as possible, she added.
“如果他们最终决定不与我们签订合同，我们将视为他们拒绝出售房产，”她说，并表示这些业主将与那 13 户未签署同意书的业主一同被纳入后续处理程序。“我们会另行处理这些情况，可能需要通过立法来解决相关问题。”
Ho said the remaining 10 per cent of owners who had not signed sale and purchase agreements should complete the process by October 15. “If they ultimately decide not to sign a contract with us, we will consider it a refusal to sell,” she said, adding that they would be grouped with the 13 households that did not sign letters accepting the acquisition offer.

“We will handle these cases later. For example, we might need to consider legislation to address this.”
