社会公共利益在当今中国社会日益受到重视,在构建和谐社会的过程中,保护弱势群体的居住权已是当务之急。《中华人民共和国物权法》中并未规定居住权制度,这不能不说是一个遗憾,本文从居住权的渊源和历史发展着手,联系我国实际情况来论证我国有必要建立居住权制度。 In the process of building a harmonious society, the protection of the living rights of the disadvantaged groups is a top priority. It is a pity that we can not but say that regrettably the residence rights system is not stipulated in the “Property Law of the People’s Republic of China”. This article starts from the origin and historical development of residency rights and concludes with the actual conditions in our country to prove that it is necessary for our country to establish a residence rights system.
