 留意违法“劏房”问题
Attention to Illegal Partitioned Flats

Q1: 什么是“劏房”？
A1: 劏房（即「分间楼宇单位」，又名房中房）是香港出租房的一种，常见于唐楼等建筑物。即
是业主或二房东将一个普通住宅单位分间成不少于两个较细小的独立单位，作出售或出租之用；
通常每个小单位均设有厕所。 每个小单位的面积从数十至200平方呎不等，每月租金介乎数百至
数千多元，租客通常为草根阶层、新来港人士或单身人士。该类人士通常无法承担昂贵的租金，
或者无资格轮候公营房屋，对该类房间需求殷切。非法改建楼宇经营利润甚丰，以致市场上有不
少供应。
Q1: What is partitioned flats?
A1: Tang House (the "partitioned flats", also known as room house) is a kind of rental housing in
Hong Kong, common in tenement buildings and old buildings. That is, the owner or principal tenant
of a residential unit partitioned into flats of smaller independent units for sale or lease. Typically,
each small unit are equipped with toilets. The size of each partitioned flats varies from 30 to 200
square feet. The monthly rent is normally between several hundred to several thousand dollars.
Tenants are usually grassroots, new arrivals or single person. They cannot afford high rent, or not
yet qualified to apply for public housing, making the demand for that type of building is high. The
profit for illegal alternation flat is high, leading to abundant supply on the market.

 Q2: “劏房”面对什么问题？
A2: 由于”劏房”多数是未有向当局申请改建，干犯者甚至将主力墙拆去，或将地台
升高，以铺设排水系统，令楼宇的结构出现问题。由于单位内有多个房间，同屋住
户人数多于原图则预设，日常人流较多，通道显得较窄，易出现消防问题。由2008
年1月1日至2011年4月30日，香港政府共逾4000宗劏房投诉，并向违规的劏房个案发
出逾70份清拆令，涉及渗水、楼宇结构荷载、违反走火通道安全规定等问题。
Q2: Partitioned flats is facing what type of problem? A2: Due to most of the partitioned
flats have not applied for legal permit on alternations, violations even involved
removal of structural wall, raised floor for laying sewage system leading to structural
problem for a building. The unit is partitioned into different rooms, the number of
tenants living inside a flat exceeded original design criteria, increased number of
people flow, the access is narrowed down leading to problems insufficient means of
escape. From 1 January 2008 to 30 April 2011, 4000 complaints has been received by
the government. A total of 70 demolition orders have been issued, which involved
water seepage, structural loads violation of safety regulations and means of escape.
