The former rose from 52.6% (3849 yuan) to 56.0% ($ 4951) ), The latter from 49.2% (5354 yuan) rose to 53.4% ​​(7525 yuan).

The Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions said that the rents of private buildings continued to rise, so that the grassroots level would face the “forced move” from time to time and suggested that the Government should reset the “N No Allowance” to alleviate the burden of rented private buildings. He said that the Government should review the rent allowance for CSSA, including the re-calculation method and the provision of relocation allowance and deposit allowance to healthy adults to meet the relocation expenditure.
