A WOMAN in a southwestern city has accused a real estate developer of disregarding her rights when they tore down the stairs from the first to fifth floor as she still has an apartment on the top floor of the building.
Zhao Yanhong from Mian-yang City in Sichuan Province lived on the seventh floor of a dilapidated residential building. She is unable to move her furniture out as the stairs have been dismantled after she failed to reach a compensation deal with the developer, The Beijing News reported yesterday.
Mianyang Yachuan Real Estate Co offered Zhao an apartment 1.2 times the size of her current home in the same area and a one-off subsidy for decoration of 10,000 yuan (US$1,510). Zhao refused the deal, saying the actual area of the new apartment will be smaller as the new building has more public areas.
In China, the space taken by public areas on any given floor is added together and divided among the apartments on that floor.
Several people living in the same residential complex were beaten by people hired by Yachuan when they tried to stop them from demolishing the building, Zhao said.
However, He Xinggui, the manager of Yachuan, said the buildings they tore down were deemed unsafe to live in following the 2008 earthquake.
He was not aware of the fight. "If I hired someone to beat them, they can go to the police and report it," he said.
