Tenants would have the right to send children to top schools where they live

Beijing authorities have begun soliciting public opinion on a draft rental policy aimed at protecting the rights of tenants. The draft, however, has caused anxiety that rents in the capital would rise as it guarantees the education rights of tenants' children in schools around rented homes.

According to the draft, which was published by Beijing housing authorities on Thursday, Beijing's local governments should increase the supply of houses available for rent around industrial parks and on collectively-used land.
