Issued only by the nearest (Designated) Police station to your apartment/hotel. You can find out exactly where to go by asking at hotel reception or by asking at your garden management office. Alternatively, if you've seeked out the nearest police station to you, you can try to ask there but expect to be redirected to other police stations a number of times before finding the right one!

When I went to do this in Guangzhou, Zhujiang new town, they asked for the landlord tax payments to be checked. I had to go next door to confirm this was paid up. In my case the landlord had paid up to March and it was already 5th April, they wanted payment of the current month before they would let me go ahead. I paid it up and confirmed with the landlord if I could take the money out of the next rent payment, which was fine.
The next day I collected the temporary residence document.
