2. Due to the dual system of urban and rural areas in China, more and more people are "urbanized" in the wave of urbanization. For whatever reason, once the registered permanent residence is transferred, it loses the right to inherit the old house base and cannot be bought back. It can only watch helplessly as the "ancestral home" becomes the asset of the village collective.
3. Because of the corresponding relationship between rural hukou and land, some people are unwilling to "turn from agriculture to Africa", and even some civil servants try their best to "turn from agriculture to Africa", but these are a minority after all, and "going to the city" is the general trend. Therefore, from the perspective of specific families, if the relevant laws and regulations remain unchanged, the homestead will inevitably be lost.
4. According to Article 152 of the Property Law, the right holder of homestead has the right to possess and use collectively-owned land according to law, and has the right to use the land to build houses and ancillary facilities according to law. The acquisition, exercise and transfer of the right to use the homestead shall be carried out in accordance with the land management law and relevant state regulations.
5. Land allocated by rural collective economic organizations to farmers for building houses and small courtyards to ensure their living needs. Used for building houses, auxiliary rooms (kitchens, warehouses, toilets), courtyards, biogas digesters, livestock houses, firewood stacking, etc. Farmers only have the right to use, and may not buy, sell, lease or illegally transfer. Farmers enjoy the ownership of the attachments on the homestead, and have the right to buy, sell and rent, and are not infringed by others. After the house is sold or leased, the right to use the homestead is transferred to the transferee or lessee, but the ownership of the homestead always belongs to the collective. The application for homestead after the sale or rental of houses shall not be approved. The land used by farmers for building houses and small courtyards shall not exceed the standards set by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.
Because the homestead belongs to collective land, it can't be sold privately to these citizens with urban hukou, even the village Committee belongs to the managers of rural collective economic organizations. The village committee is responsible for the distribution of rural collective land, and the property income obtained through collective land also belongs to the members of the village collective economy.
