编辑同志: 我在结婚之后就与父母分家立户,并经批准修建了一处住宅。去年父母双亡后,我打算将他们原来的旧宅翻建成新居,继续使用。但是当地政府不同意,还要我拆除旧宅上的房屋,将宅基地交回集体。请问,他们这样做合法吗? (读者:李林) Editor’s Comrade: After I got married, I separated my parents and set up a house with approval. After my parents died last year, I intend to turn their original house into a new one and continue using it. However, the local government did not agree, but also asked me to demolish the houses on the old houses and return the homesteads to the collective. Excuse me, are they legal? (Reader: Li Lin)
