2026-2028 Domestic Rent Review for Rental Estates of the Housing Society

The Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) announced that its Executive Committee has approved the rent adjustment for its rental estates for the years 2026-2028.

As a self-financing not-for-profit organisation, HKHS takes a dual and balanced review of the operating cost and tenants’ affordability in conducting the rent review.  The rent for the rental estates under HKHS will be increased by 2.85%, effective from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028.  The average monthly rent increase per household is about HK$73 and HK$200 for tenants of HKHS’s Group A and Group B rental estates respectively.  Meanwhile, newly completed rental estates in the past two years, including Yue Ying Lau in Aberdeen, Eminence Tower 1 in Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen, Sierra Tower in Fanling and Avis Tower (Tower 1) in Ngau Tau Kok are not covered in this round of rent review.

Tenants who encounter short-term financial difficulties can seek help from HKHS’s Rent Assistance Scheme, under which eligible tenants will be granted a rent reduction of 25% or 50% upon successful application. 

HKHS keeps the operating accounts of its rental estates independent of other businesses.  The rent level of HKHS’s rental estates is reviewed every two years in accordance with its established review mechanism, that tenants’ affordability and the operational sustainability of rental estates are the two key factors to consider.

HKHS pledges to continue its commitment in upgrading estates facilities to cater to the needs of ageing estates.  Over the past two years, the operating expenditure of HKHS’s rental estates has increased, resulting in operating deficit.  It is anticipated that HKHS’s rental estates operation will continue to incur a deficit in the next two years.
