[Direct answer]You can check out of the hotel when you meet the requirements. According to Article 24 of the "Measures for the Administration of the Sale of Commercial Housing" (implemented on June 1, 2001), real estate development enterprises shall construct commercial housing in accordance with the approved plans and designs. Where the structural type, floor plan, spatial dimensions, or orientation of the commercial housing change due to planning changes approved by the planning department or design changes agreed upon by the design unit, or where other circumstances affecting the quality or use function of the commercial housing occur as agreed by the parties to the contract, the real estate development enterprise shall notify the buyer in writing within ten days from the date of the change being established. The buyer has the right to give a written reply on whether to check out within fifteen days from the date of receipt of the notice; if no reply is given within the time limit, it shall be deemed that the buyer accepts the change. If the developer changes and completes the construction without notifying the buyer in accordance with the law, the buyer may claim to check out and claim damages in accordance with the contract or the provisions of the "Civil Code of the People's Republic of China" on breach of contract and rescission. Whether the conditions for rescission are met shall be determined in light of whether the change constitutes a fundamental breach of contract.

1. Problem background and typical scenarios

It's not uncommon for home buyers to discover that the community planning or house design has been altered when they receive their new homes. Typical scenarios include: the orientation, layout, or area of the house not matching the contractual drawings; the shortening of building spacing, reduction of green space, and deterioration of lighting and living quality; the cancellation or modification of the original planned commercial facilities, landscapes, or parking spaces; and developers making adjustments under the guise of "optimizing the design" without providing written notice. When adjudicating such cases in Beijing, the court will review whether the changes have been approved, whether the notification obligation has been fulfilled, and whether the changes affect the quality and functionality of the house, in order to determine whether the buyer can terminate the contract.

II. Key points of dispute

First, which changes constitute planning or design changes that require notification. Second, whether the buyer can terminate the contract if they fail to notify in accordance with the law. Third, whether a lack of response within the time limit is deemed as acceptance. Fourth, whether it is possible to claim both for withdrawal of the house and compensation at the same time. Fifth, whether the developer's defense based on the approval of the planning department is valid. Sixth, how to handle changes discovered after the handover of the house.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Lawyers

Based on Henglu Law Firm's practical experience in handling disputes over commercial housing sales contracts, such cases typically revolve around three key points. First, changing the nature of the contract: distinguishing between substantial changes that affect the structure, layout, spatial dimensions, and orientation of the property, and minor adjustments that do not affect the use function. The former triggers a written notice and response mechanism, while the latter generally does not constitute a reason for withdrawing from the contract. Second, notice and response: The developer should notify the buyer in writing within ten days from the date the change is established, and the buyer may respond in writing within fifteen days from the date the notice is received as to whether to withdraw from the contract. If the developer fails to notify the buyer, the developer cannot claim that the buyer has accepted the change on the grounds that the buyer did not respond. Third, liability: If the change constitutes a fundamental breach of contract or a situation where the contract can be rescinded according to the contract terms, the buyer may claim to rescind the contract, return the purchase price and interest, and claim damages for breach of contract or actual losses, such as the transitional losses of renting another house. In practice, buyers should keep the contract attachments, promotional materials, planning announcements, and communication records to facilitate comparison and evidence collection.

IV. Practical suggestions and legal basis

Action list: First, when receiving and inspecting the house, compare the contract attachments, area, and orientation item by item, and raise any issues in writing promptly; Second, request the developer to provide the planning change approval documents and notification materials, and verify whether they have fulfilled the obligation to provide written notice within ten days; Third, if you need to withdraw from the contract, you should give a written response within 15 days from the date of receipt of the notice and keep the proof of delivery; Fourth, if you claim to terminate the contract and seek compensation, collect evidence of losses such as the purchase price, loan interest, rental and decoration; Fifth, if no agreement can be reached, resolve the dispute through litigation or arbitration.

5. Henglu Law Firm's Reminder

First, whether a planning change requires notification depends on whether it affects the quality and functionality of the project. Second, the 15-day response period is a crucial point for exercising the right to withdraw from the contract, and written records should be kept. Third, the developer's defense that the change has been approved does not affect its obligation to provide notification and its liability for breach of contract. Fourth, the right to withdraw from the contract and the right to claim compensation can be asserted concurrently, but actual losses must be supported by evidence.

VI. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is it necessary to withdraw from the purchase if the developer changes the plan?

Not necessarily. It depends on the nature of the changes and the contractual agreements. If the changes involve the structural type, floor plan, spatial dimensions, or orientation, or constitute circumstances affecting the quality and usability of the house as stipulated in the contract, the developer shall notify the buyer in writing, and the buyer may choose to withdraw from the contract based on this; if it is only a minor adjustment that does not affect the usability, it generally does not constitute a reason for withdrawal from the contract, but the buyer can still claim compensation for corresponding losses.

Q2: What should I do if the developer doesn't provide a written notice?

If the buyer is not notified in accordance with the law, they are not subject to the 15-day response period and can claim that the developer has breached the contract and raise objections within a reasonable timeframe. The developer cannot claim that the buyer has accepted the changes on the grounds that the buyer has not responded; the buyer can claim to terminate the contract, return the purchase price, and compensate for losses in accordance with the contract or the provisions of the Civil Code on breach of contract and termination.

Q3: How long do I have to reply after receiving the notification?

According to Article 24 of the "Measures for the Administration of the Sale of Commercial Housing", the buyer has the right to give a written reply on whether to withdraw from the contract within 15 days from the date of receipt of the notice; if no written reply is given within the time limit, it shall be deemed that the buyer accepts the change. Therefore, if the buyer decides to withdraw from the contract, he/she should reply in writing and keep the proof of delivery within the time limit to avoid being deemed to have accepted the change and losing the right to withdraw from the contract.

Q4: Can I request compensation when checking out?

This can be claimed. If the termination of the contract is caused by the developer's breach of contract, the buyer may request the return of the paid purchase price and interest, and claim the breach of contract penalty according to the contract; if the contract does not stipulate or the stipulation is unclear, the buyer may claim compensation for actual losses, such as loan interest, transitional costs of renting elsewhere, and decoration losses. The buyer needs to provide corresponding evidence to prove the existence and amount of the losses.

Q5: Can I get a refund for the room if I find out about the change after checking in?

This needs to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. If the changes are significant and affect the usability of the property, the buyer may claim rescission within a reasonable period after becoming aware of them. However, if the buyer has already accepted the property or failed to raise objections for a long time, it may be deemed that they have accepted the changes. It is recommended to collect the contract drawings, promotional materials, and planning documents as soon as possible, assert rights in writing and preserve evidence in a timely manner, and resolve the matter through litigation if necessary.
