Why can't I find an intermediary to rent a house?
Not renting a house through an intermediary may be because there will be a huge price difference, or pretending to be the landlord to defraud the intermediary, which has certain risks.
1, huge price difference
Illegal intermediaries use various preferential means to cheat the trust of the owners, and then in the name of not charging intermediary fees, they sell their houses in agent for owner at a very low price and rent them at the market price, earning a high price difference. Roughly speaking, the vacancy period plus the price difference should be at least 3000 yuan.
2. Pretending to be the landlord to defraud the agency fee.
The illegal intermediary in this scam must first rent a suitable house as a prop, and then find the company's salesman to pretend to be the landlord, and the rental price quoted to all customers is far below the market price. Whenever the customer is satisfied with the house, he signs a contract with the fake landlord and pays the agency fee. The fake landlord finds out various reasons and refuses to rent. When the customer asked the company to refund the money, the company said that both parties had signed the lease contract, the intermediary service had been completed, the landlord unilaterally breached the contract, and the intermediary fee would not be refunded.
3. Cheat various expenses by illegal means.
See the room rate. The process of this scam is that after the customer pays the room rate of 300-500 yuan, a salesman leads the customer to see the house (of course, this house doesn't exist at all). On the way, a salesman called to pretend to be the landlord and said that he could not go for the time being. He could make an appointment to see the house or ask the customer to write down the phone number of the owner. At this time, a salesman will say: you have contacted the landlord and the room rate will not be refunded according to the contract.
What are the ways to find an intermediary in renting a house?
1, idle fish rent a house
There is a rental entrance on the homepage of the idle fish. The house is selected according to the geographical location and distance, and there is an intermediary reporting mechanism. The experience is good. Moreover, idle fish can be authenticated by real name and bound with sesame credit points, which ensures the authenticity of information sources to some extent.
See the right house on the idle fish, click in and see what he has released. If it is all rental information, it may be an intermediary or an apartment intermediary. If it's all irrelevant, it's more likely to be a person.
2.QQ group, post bar, nearby school forum, official WeChat account rental, etc.
When searching for QQ groups for renting houses in Beijing, there will be many groups, some of which are operated by individuals voluntarily, some are operated by people in related industries (such as moving companies), and some may even be built by intermediaries. You need to be patient and carefully screened after joining the group. Don't trust it.
In fact, there are many WeChat rental groups, but the WeChat group can't search. If you don't know people who are already in the group, you can't join them.
The above content introduces why we can't find an intermediary when renting a house, and what methods can we find an intermediary when renting a house. I hope everyone can find a suitable intermediary company, so that the efficiency of finding a house will be higher. Some people may not want to find an intermediary company in order to save money. Or feel that intermediary companies are troublesome and inefficient, and often provide too much useless information. Everyone can find a house through their own methods.
