摘要

在世界范围内,居住在私人出租房的人数,特别是在大城市,一直在稳步增长。然而,许多研究表明,很大一部分租户忍受房东不满意的住房经历。本研究借鉴住房阶级的概念和Harvey(1979)的阶级垄断租金和阶级权力理论,探讨了各个细分行业的房东如何利用他们的阶级权力来实现阶级垄断租金,以及随后对租户住房体验的影响。通过对深圳30位代表不同细分行业的房东和租客的深度访谈,我们发现房东所采用的策略取决于他们与租客之间的权力差异。权力差距越大,房东可以利用的策略范围就越大,从而导致租户的住房体验减少。此外,我们在中国城市开发了一个住房等级方案,为资产不平等和社会分层提供了有价值的见解。本文采用马克思主义的观点,对正在进行的关于房东和租客之间权力动态的讨论做出了贡献。此外,本文还针对不同细分行业提出了若干政策建议,以重新平衡房东和租户之间的权力关系,并改善租户的住房体验。

The realization of class-monopoly rents: Landlords' class power and its impact on tenants' housing experiences

The number of people residing in private rentals, particularly in megacities, has been steadily increasing worldwide. However, a number of studies have revealed that a significant proportion of tenants endure unsatisfactory housing experiences attributed to their landlords. Drawing upon the concept of housing class and Harvey's (1979) theory of class-monopoly rent and class power, this study investigates how landlords in various sub-sectors employ their class power to realize class-monopoly rent and the subsequent impact on tenants' housing experiences. Through in-depth interviews conducted with 30 landlords and tenants representing different sub-sectors in Shenzhen, we have identified that the strategies employed by landlords are contingent upon the power differentials between them and their tenants. The wider the power gap, the greater the range of strategies landlords can utilize, leading to diminished housing experiences for tenants. Additionally, we have developed a housing class scheme in urban China, offering valuable insights into asset inequality and social stratification. By adopting a Marxist perspective, this paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on power dynamics between landlords and tenants. Furthermore, several policy recommendations are provided across different sub-sectors to rebalance the power relationship between landlords and tenants and enhance tenants' housing experiences.
