1. If you want to choose a legal housing agency with high credibility, you can check the registration and credit status of the selected agency on the Internet or the administrative department for industry and commerce, carefully check whether it has the corresponding qualifications, and understand the public's evaluation of the agency through people with rental experience. If it is credible, you must get a deposit receipt to see if the official seal matches the company.
2. If you feel inappropriate afterwards, you need to refund the deposit. First of all, you must communicate with the intermediary and explain the situation. All kinds of threats and inducements, all kinds of sweet words will do. However, intermediaries are usually reluctant to take money out of their pockets, and there will be various excuses and reasons. So, make a gesture at this time, don't give it to me. Anyway, someone is in charge, telling the intermediary to go to the construction Committee to complain if it doesn't return. The complaint telephone network of Beijing Construction Committee can be found.
If you complain directly on the spot, you may fail. Everyone will go to the Beijing real estate transaction online to complain, and the complaint will be sent to the district and county construction committees, and they dare not refuse to accept it. At the same time, the intermediary will restrain and return the money to you.
4. Don't trust the irresponsible remarks of the intermediary, and be sure to inspect the housing environment on the spot.
5. It is necessary to find out that the rented house is a contract signed with the landlord and has a lease relationship directly with the landlord; Or sign a house lease contract with an intermediary, which is not directly related to the landlord.
6. When signing the contract, check the copy of the real estate license and the copy of the ID card of the person with the name on the real estate license, or the power of attorney. Most importantly, we must pay attention to whether the intermediary company has signed the House Leasing Agency Contract with the original landlord, and whether there is a clause in the contract that the original landlord allows the intermediary to handle the house leasing procedures and collect rent. Because it is possible that the intermediary just rented out the house and did not inform the original landlord to sublet it at a premium. Once the original landlord found that the house had been sublet without his prior knowledge, he would definitely ask for it back. In this way, the rental contract signed by the consumer and the intermediary becomes invalid, and the consumer can only move first and then pursue the responsibility of the intermediary.
7. If both parties have an agreement on the deposit, be careful not to mistake it for "deposit". The legal meanings of the two are completely different, and the deposit has a specific legal meaning. If the party who pays the deposit breaches the contract, the deposit cannot be returned, while the party who receives the deposit breaches the contract, it must be returned twice.
