Strengthening National Security in the Property Management Industry

Following our online meeting with the Property Management Services Authority (PMSA) on 9 April 2026, we fully supports the new licensing conditions and the revised Code of Conduct (No. C1/2020) announced by the PMSA on 8 April 2026, effective on 10 April 2026.

Under the Property Management Services Ordinance (Cap. 626), licensed property management companies and practitioners must now comply with national security laws. Any act or activity that constitutes, may lead to, or is considered by the PMSA to be detrimental to national security or the public interest of Hong Kong will be strictly prohibited.

As a key frontline industry serving the community, upholding national security is both our legal duty and professional responsibility. HKAPMC urges all members to review the new requirements and ensure full compliance.

Meeting with the Home Affairs Department on the Building Management Ordinance amendments

On 10 March 2026, We had the privilege of joining representatives from the Hong Kong Housing, Property and Facilities Management Professional Alliance for a productive meeting with the Home Affairs Department.

We engaged in an open discussion with Ms. To Kit-lai, Director of Home Affairs; Mr. Te Chi-wang, Deputy Director; and Ms. Li Ka-yuen, Assistant Director, regarding the proposed amendments to the Building Management Ordinance (Cap 344).

We are grateful to the Department for sharing their preliminary concepts and implementation details, and for considering the observations from industry professionals. The Alliance reiterated its full support for the Government’s determination to combat bid-rigging to protect the interests of property owners.

A key consensus from the meeting was the necessity of striking a delicate balance in the amendment process: strengthening regulatory control to prevent malpractices must be carefully weighed against the need to maintain the smooth daily operations and decision-making processes of building management bodies.

We look forward to continued dialogue with the Home Affairs Department to collectively refine and enhance the property management landscape in Hong Kong.
