Deepline | Before third reading: Students in cramped, costly flats await HK's BHUs Bill impact The Basic Housing Units (BHUs) Bill is set for its third reading in the Legislative Council this Wednesday (Sept. 24). If passed and implemented, it will phase out substandard, poor-quality subdivided units. However, many subdivided units in Hong Kong are occupied by non-local students who come to the city for studies. A postgraduate student told Wen Wei Po that since universities only provide one year of accommodation, they have to find off-campus housing themselves. However, rents for subdivided units are high, and most do not meet the standards for BHUs.
