Real Status of Salt Fields Houses Rentals in the Late Period of the Republic of China:Based on the Salt Industry Archives in Leshan
The Salt Industry Archives currently stored in the Leshan Archives preserve some files concerning the leasing of housing by the salt administration authorities.Accordingly,in the late period of the Republic of China,due to the negative impact of the turbulent situation on the economy,the issue of housing shortages in salt fields became prominent,leading to frequent hous-ing rental transactions.The location of housing leasing for salt administration authorities is a market approximately 40 to 50 kilo-meters away from the county.Housing leases can be divided into the free type and the standard one with the two used alterna-tively.The elements of the salt fields lease are complete,including the tenant,the subject matter,the lease term,the purpose of the house,rights and responsibilities.In terms of the content of the lease,the salt fields lease is greatly affected by housing rental regula-tions and customary practices.In houses renting of the late period of the Republic of China,there were a large number of prac-tices such as renewal of the lease with increased rent,rental payments based on actual goods,lessees bearing labor and material costs,and homeowners reclaiming the property for personal use,indicating a serious discrepancy between housing rental regulations and their practical implementation under the turbulent situation.
