Does the rental contract have legal effect?

General lease contracts have legal effect. The lease contract is a form of our contract, which is a house lease contract signed by the lessee and the owner of the house. It is a contract, which is natural and has the attributes of a contract. It is also protected by Chinese laws and has legal effect. Generally speaking, our lease contract needs to specify the landlord, lessee, lease term, rent, breach of contract, etc., because only in this way can we consider it a complete and perfect contract and establish relevant legal obligations and responsibilities.

How to prevent fraud in renting a house 1, and carefully distinguish the authenticity of the landlord.

When renting a house, the landlord must first show the original ID card, the original household registration book and the original real estate license. If you are handling the property right certificate, you should show the purchase contract signed with the original property right unit; If he is renting a house for others, then he must have a power of attorney for renting a house, a copy of the client's real estate license and ID card.

2. Avoid the rental contract trap.

When signing a rental contract, we must distinguish the rights and obligations, such as how to pay the rent, water, electricity, gas, telephone, cable TV and other expenses, who will be responsible for the maintenance of the housing facilities that are not artificially damaged, and how to compensate the landlord for the early termination of the contract. In addition, be sure to write clearly the facilities of the house in the contract, and check the furniture, home appliances, etc. Prevent the landlord from using this as an excuse to detain the money. The more detailed the contract, the better. Don't just agree verbally, for fear of trouble.

The rent is paid monthly and quarterly.

Tenants should not pay a large amount of annual rent or half-year rent at one time, but should choose to pay rent quarterly and monthly. Because even if there is a problem, the economic loss of the renter will not be too great. If you want to pay a large rent, don't make a hasty decision.
