As we all know, one company needs an office for its registration purpose and its daily operation. In most cases, such offices are rented from others, especially from individual landlords. Before, the company’s initiators just have to obtain the copy of the deed, the leasing agreement and the certificate on the usage of the property signed by the landlord for register the property as the registered office of their company and to complete the establishment registration procedures for their start-ups. However, in practices, there are many investors steal the copy of the deed and fake the signature on the lease agreement and certificate of the property in order to register it as their registered office without notifying the real landlords, or there are landlords leasing the properties which are unqualified for using on commercial purposes to company investors. Such false registrations and contract defaults lead to so many disputes between the landlord and tenants that infringe both party’s interests and legitimate rights.
In view of those mentioned above, the Chaoyang AIC formally published their notice on March 27, 2017, requesting the individual landlords to apply for record-filing before the AIC for leasing their commercial premises to any companies for commercial use. Otherwise, such premises will not be allowed for using as the registered office for any company. Also, the platform for managing the certificate on the usage of the office is adapted to the new notice, and it is required that only one platform user may be created for filing one property on the platform system.
