Shanghai Chongming Container House Rental
Currently, there is no publicly available information indicating that there are legal container house rental services in Chongming, Shanghai. Moreover, container houses that have been converted into residential structures may involve illegal construction, posing safety and legal risks. It is not advisable to rent such houses.
Lack of Information on Legal Container Rental Services
Among the reference information provided, although there are many enterprises related to containers, their main businesses focus on areas such as the sale of second-hand containers, sales of container mobile homes, customized containers, and container transportation. For example, Shanghai Shiqian Container Service Co., Ltd. mainly deals in the sale of second-hand containers and container mobile homes; Shanghai Hongyuan Loading and Unloading Service Co., Ltd. is involved in the specialized transportation of goods (containers). At present, there is no clear information indicating that any enterprise provides legal container house rental services.
Illegal Risks of Container Houses Converted into Residential Structures
The relevant departments in Chongming District have carried out special rectification on "container houses" that have been converted into residential structures. These containers, which have been modified with the installation of doors, windows, water and electricity supplies, and even air conditioners, and are used for living or as warehouses, kitchens, etc., are suspected of illegal construction if the conversion is carried out without approval. The nature is the same as building unlicensed houses. According to Article 65 of the Urban and Rural Planning Law of the People's Republic of China, in township and village planning areas, if construction is carried out without obtaining a rural construction planning permit in accordance with the law or without complying with the provisions of the rural construction planning permit, the township or town people's government shall order the cessation of construction and make corrections within a time limit; if the corrections are not made within the time limit, the construction may be demolished.
Safety Hazards of Container Houses Converted into Residential Structures
Container houses that have been converted into residential structures also have many safety hazards. Some of these modified container houses have unauthorized electrical wiring and the illegal use of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, which can easily lead to fire and electric shock accidents. Moreover, some container houses from unknown sources may have been from makeshift hospitals during the epidemic, posing hygiene and fire safety hazards.
