Recently, many tenants and landlords in Shanghai reported to the police that a housing trust company named Blue Moon had closed down. They had paid rent for several months or even a year and wanted to run away together.
The survey found that the housing trust company charged a large amount of housing rent in the form of "high rent attracts landlords and low rent attracts tenants", and most of these rents were not paid to landlords.
"AG's low payment, long payment and short payment" rent-collecting housing trust company runs away, hurting landlords and tenants.
Mr. Tan, who works in an e-commerce company in Pudong, Shanghai, found a house through a real estate agent in June this year. The agent said: The house was rented by a housing trust company called Blue Moon. Mr. Tan, the tenant, said that Blue Moon Company can come up with the landlord's entrustment agreement, including the relocation agreement of the house, so it looks like a regular company, and there will be certain concessions considering the one-time payment. So, Mr. Tan rented this suite at the annual payment price of 4 100 yuan per month, and paid more than 50,000 yuan. However, the landlord of this suite, Mr. Ye, got completely different information.
Landlord Mr. Ye: At that time, they said that my house was rented to others for 5000 yuan per month, 12 months. Rent it to Blue Moon Company, 5500 yuan per month, 1 1 month.
After collecting the rent for two months, the landlord Mr. Ye suddenly received a message from the salesman of Blue Moon Company, saying that the company closed down and could not pay the remaining rent. When Mr. Ye contacted the other party, he could not be contacted. The remaining rent of Mr. Tan, the tenant, is even worse. Have the same experience, as well as Shanghai Minhang tenant Mr. Hu and landlord Ms. Zhang.
Landlord Ms. Zhang: Because I rented 765,438+000 yuan a month before, Blue Moon Company gave me a symbolic increase of 765,438+050 yuan a month.
In fact, when the tenant Mr. Hu took a fancy to this suite, Blue Moon Company claimed that the rent was only 5,500 yuan per month. Mr. Hu once asked why the rent was lower than the surrounding area, and the company salesman said that they had a way to make up the difference and make money. After paying the rent of more than 70,000 yuan at one time, only three months later, Mr. Hu learned the news of the company's closure and found that his rent had been taken away.
According to the registered information of Blue Moon Company, in fact, its business scope is only real estate consulting and real estate marketing planning, and it does not have the qualification to engage in real estate brokerage, nor does it have any qualification to engage in financial business.
The reporter's investigation found that since the establishment of Blue Moon Company in June 5438+February last year, in just half a year, it has changed important personnel positions such as legal representative, company supervisor and investor five times.
Mao Lingling, a professor at East China University of Political Science and Law: If it is a single contractual relationship, it may be contract fraud or ordinary fraud. If he is seriously irresponsible in the use of funds, it can be the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits or the crime of fund-raising fraud.
Legal experts pointed out that a housing trust company like Blue Moon Company is essentially engaged in financial asset trust business.
Mao Lingling, a professor at East China University of Political Science and Law: In this case, the risk is obvious. Now this kind of financial behavior is actually engaged in financial activities in the name of contracting, operation and investment, lacking supervision.
