How do black intermediaries hurt renters?

Some lawless elements or informal intermediary companies defraud the owner of the house keys through short-term lease, and at the same time attract renters at low prices. If the lessee wants to rent this house, he must pay the rent in the form of at least one mortgage and three payments, and more often he will pay the rent in half a year or one year. In this way, criminals get a lot of cash in a short time, and then abscond with the money, thus bringing huge property losses to homeowners and renters.

Secret 2: defrauding all kinds of illegal nominal fees

Attract tenants through low-priced and high-quality housing, ask customers for a "room-watching fee" of 300-500 yuan, and then the salesman will guide them to see the house, but this house does not exist at all. On the way, pretend to receive the news that the landlord said that he can't go for the time being, make an appointment to see the house or let the customer write down the phone number of the "owner". At this time, the salesman refused to pay the check-out fee on the grounds that both parties had got in touch.

Secret 3: temporary black intermediary

Intermediary companies use the remaining houses in short rent to rent to many people repeatedly in the same period of time, and collect fees such as prepaid rent or deposit. When the key was handed over to the renter as agreed, the intermediary company had long since disappeared. This kind of trap is often used by roadside agents and alley agents. Mostly the three caves of cunning rabbits. Put up a facade temporarily and pull a telephone extension, which is the intermediary store. And renters also suffered huge losses because of the early delivery of intermediary fees.

Secret 4: Traps in Contracts

Whether the landlord or tenant entrusts an intermediary company to rent a house or rent a house for them, they must sign an entrustment contract with them. If you don't read the terms carefully, you are likely to fall into the trap dug by the intermediary company. The correct approach should be to verify the landlord's identity and property rights and other relevant documents, and sign a formal housing lease contract with the landlord, and pay the relevant expenses of the intermediary company after the property is delivered.

Secret 5: There is a scam behind the low price.

Informal intermediaries will post some cheap, well-decorated and well-located houses on the rental website as bait to attract tenants to contact the intermediary actively. Behind these low-priced and high-quality houses are often black intermediaries or rental scammers. Once the tenant has the intention to rent a house, he will try his best to recommend a house with poor conditions and high rent, defraud the room fee, information fee and even force the tenant to submit.
