” A series of recent tragic fires in mini apartment buildings have raised urgent concerns about the need for stricter regulations on this type of accommodation.
Following these incidents, the Prime Minister issued a directive stipulating that from March 30, mini apartments, mixed-use buildings and rental houses that fail to meet fire prevention and control (FPC) safety requirements must cease operations.
Directive 19/2024 mandates that provincial and municipal leaders inspect, classify and guide property owners on implementing fire safety measures for mini apartments and mixed-use residential buildings. Landlords must commit to and follow a fire safety improvement plan as prescribed by provincial authorities, with a deadline of March 30.”-Việt Nam News
