Can I rent a house and study in the nearest school?

Legal analysis: theoretically, it is possible. For those who have non-urban household registration, work and do business in the county town and have no real estate, the parents of the students will apply for the town center school with no real estate license and legal housing lease contract, and attend according to the degree arrangement. Leased business premises or ownership of business premises do not belong to residential premises and are not used as the basis for occupancy.

Legal basis: Article 12 of the Compulsory Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) exempts school-age children and adolescents from the entrance examination. Local people's governments at all levels shall ensure that school-age children and adolescents are enrolled in the nearest place where they are registered. School-age children and adolescents whose parents or other legal guardians work or live in non-registered places receive compulsory education where their parents or other legal guardians work or live, and the local people's government shall provide them with equal conditions for receiving compulsory education. Specific measures shall be formulated by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. The education administrative department of the people's government at the county level shall ensure that the children of military personnel within their respective administrative areas receive compulsory education.
