One is to extend the lease term of specialized housing assigned to Hanoi Housing Management and Development Company Limited until December 31, 2024. The other is to wait until the Government issues a Decree on the management, use and exploitation of houses and land that are public assets not used for residential purposes, and assign them to local housing management and business organizations to manage and exploit.
