On February 25th, 65438, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the China Banking Regulatory Commission and other six departments jointly issued the Opinions on Rectifying and Standardizing the Order of the Housing Leasing Market, in which it was clarified that real estate brokers were not allowed to earn the housing leasing price difference, and that lessees and lessors who renewed their housing leasing contracts were not allowed to collect commissions again, and housing leasing enterprises should clearly mark the price, which brought good news to "renters".
Housing intermediary control
"The houses near Shanxi University are almost all intermediary custody houses, and it is difficult for landlords to rent directly." Zhang Lei, who is preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, said that he found many houses that are intermediaries, that is, trusteeship houses, but he could not see the landlord at all.
What is a holding cell? Custody and intermediary have different ways of making profits. Intermediary agencies help tenants find a house, and tenants pay the intermediary one month's rent as a reward after renting the house. Custody is a two-pronged approach, collecting the landlord's custody fee, collecting the house directly from the landlord at a low price, and subletting at a high price to earn the difference between the two landlords. Although the custodian institution is a rising star in the housing rental market in our city, it is hot.
"The business volume of decentralized rental is very low. In the past two years, many intermediaries have been engaged in custody, renting a large number of second-hand houses in popular locations, and then unified management, unified rental, and earning the difference. " The former army engaged in real estate agency told reporters that the intermediary controlled the housing and monopolized the market, and the tenants and landlords were artificially blocked. "After the second landlord controls the popular housing area, he will sit on the floor, start the price, modify the partition, and turn two rooms, one living room and one bathroom into four rooms and one bathroom. Ordinary tenants simply don't know the listing information, and the possibility of bypassing the intermediary and signing a contract with the homeowner alone is getting smaller and smaller. "
Pit renter
The reporter's investigation found that in some rental transactions, the same house, the same tenant and the same intermediary will renew their contracts after one year, and even pay the agency fee again. According to the introduction of the former army, some landlords will entrust their houses to the intermediary for a long time, and the tenants can't contact the landlord when renewing the contract, leaving room for the intermediary to operate illegally. It is illegal to charge an intermediary fee from the tenant and earn the rent difference from the landlord when the intermediary controls the sublease right of the house. If the intermediary fee for renewal is charged again, the tenant will suffer.
According to the introduction of the former army, the agency fee is the remuneration commission obtained after the signing of the contract by the housing agency company to introduce the tenant to get in touch with the landlord and provide intermediary services through the intermediary. The intermediary itself plays a role in communicating the lease information between the landlord and the tenant. If the contract is renewed again, the information between the tenant and the landlord has not changed, and there is no need for the intermediary to intervene. Now the intermediary is both the landlord and the intermediary. In addition, the supply and demand structure is relatively tight, and there are fewer houses. Tenants belong to "vulnerable groups" and have no right to speak, so they can only pay passively.
Opinions protect rights and interests
To fundamentally solve the above problems, we need a perfect management system. On February 25th, 65438, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the China Banking Regulatory Commission and other six departments jointly issued the Opinions on Rectifying and Regulating the Order of the Housing Leasing Market. The Opinions emphasize the regulation of rental service charges. For example, real estate agents and house leasing companies should clearly mark their prices. Before charging, a list of fees should be issued, indicating all service items, charging standards, charging amount and other contents, and signed by the parties for confirmation; Real estate brokerage institutions shall not earn housing rental price difference. If the lease contract expires and the lessee and lessor renew the contract, no commission will be charged; When the term of the house lease contract expires, the remaining rent and deposit shall be returned to the lessee in time, in addition to offsetting the expenses stipulated in the contract.
At the same time, due to the mixed transaction subjects, improving the registration and filing of leasing subjects and platform verification has become the key link to standardize the leasing market from the source. The "Opinions" put forward that it is necessary to strictly register management, and real estate brokers, housing leasing enterprises and network information platforms engaged in housing leasing activities should register market entities according to law.
Regarding the promulgation of the "Opinions", insiders said that the house is rented and life is not. Rectifying and standardizing the order of housing rental market is directly related to renters' yearning for a better life. I hope that the Opinions can be effectively implemented as soon as possible, so that "renters" can rent a good house and live and work in peace and contentment.
