Some illegal intermediary companies, in the name of housing leasing agents, defrauded the owners of housing keys and a one-month vacancy period with various preferential conditions, and paid the rent by monthly payment. At the same time, they advertise low-cost rental to attract renters. If the lessee takes a fancy to this house, he should at least pay the rent by means of one mortgage and three payments, and more often, he should pay the rent by means of half a year or annual payment. Through this means, illegal intermediaries can accumulate a large amount of cash in a short time, and then wait for an opportunity to flee with the money, thus bringing huge property losses to owners and renters.
Deception 2: 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.
Trick 3: 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.
Deception 4: defrauding fees in various names.
One is "looking at the room rate". The process of this scam is that after the customer pays the "house inspection fee" of 300-500 yuan, a salesman leads the customer to see a "house" (of course, this house does not exist at all). On the way, A salesman B called to pretend that the landlord said that he could not go for the time being, so 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 contacted the landlord and the inspection fee will not be refunded according to the contract."
The second is "information fee". The so-called information fee means that when the renter and the intermediary company can't reach an agreement on the rental agency fee, the intermediary company will propose a preferential way, that is, after the renter pays a small amount of fee, it is generally 300-500 yuan, and the intermediary company will provide the renter with a number of housing information, which will be contacted by the renter himself.
Deception 5: contract trap
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.
First of all, in the agreement signed between the intermediary company and the tenant, if there is a clause similar to "Party B exchanges their respective contact information with the lessor, or signs a deposit contract with it, and the intermediary company completes the entrustment contract with Party B, and Party B pays the agency fee", it is necessary to ask the tenant to be vigilant, and the intermediary company is likely to defraud the tenant's agency fee by playing a duet with its internal personnel. 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.
Second, when signing the entrustment contract with the landlord, the intermediary company should agree on the place of signing the house lease contract, preferably to the intermediary company, so as to prevent the salesman of the intermediary company from signing the contract with the owner privately without telling his company, and the transaction safety of the owner will not be guaranteed. Secondly, it is necessary to fill in the property acceptance form in detail, indicating in detail the name, brand, quantity and old and new degree of various facilities in the house, which shall be signed and confirmed by the owner and the salesman of the intermediary company, and stamped with the official seal to prevent the goods from being damaged or lost.
Save a little money and lose a lot of money.
As for the renter, it may be difficult to identify the fake landlord, but if you pay attention, there will always be some flaws in the scam. In order to cheat money, the most common way for swindlers is to offer lower terms, but the so-called rent is one year, and the documents they provide are generally incomplete.
Here, the industry reminds renters that if you want to pay a large annual rent, you'd better not rush it. You should distinguish the authenticity of the owner from the following points: first, please show me the original ID card and household registration book, because many scammers cheat with fake ID cards now, and the original and copy are easier to identify; Second, please ask the owner to show the original certificate of ownership of the house, such as the property right certificate or the use right certificate. If you are handling the property right certificate, you should show the purchase contract signed with the original property right unit; Third, let the owner tell us more about the situation around the house and the community, and learn from the conversation that the owner is a monk? Holes and curtains? Is it bad? What happened to Jing? Pure text is not enough? Br> In addition, swindlers usually sign lease agreements with the original owners for a short period of time, and they must complete a series of activities such as advertising, finding tenants, designing scams and defrauding rents. Within a month, so the liar is most worried about not having enough time. Their targets are usually businessmen and white-collar workers who can afford to pay the annual rent, because the former often regard their living places as warehouses, and ordinary people are unwilling to rent them; The latter doesn't like to be disturbed, emphasizes the contract, but doesn't like to know other things. The swindler just caught the renter's mentality and set a trap. When he goes to see the house, he will tell you that the house is very tight, and even find a "child care" to make a reservation together, and then let you make a decision immediately within a day or two, otherwise "the house will be gone." In an emergency, people's consideration is often not comprehensive. The biggest reason for paying annual rent is cheapness, but this cheapness may make you lose more than you gain. Therefore, tenants must be cautious when paying the annual rent, or try to negotiate with the landlord to pay the rent quarterly by paying part of the liquidated damages.
How to avoid legal disputes in renting a house
1. The owner must hold the house ownership certificate, and only the owner of the house can enjoy the income right of the house. Entrusted by the owner of the house (the owner of the house) to rent the house on his behalf, there shall be a written power of attorney from the owner. If it is subletting, it should be? Are you afraid of the sun and plums? Hey? Hey? Absence from class? Do you want to feed Mu Xian? Time? What? Where's pepper? Kill; ぁ? Hey? Sweating? Chop? Scrape the window and stew? ㄖぃ? Afraid of the source of the tip? What's your problem? Promise? Do you want to explain your desire, cover your lips and enjoy your love? Wife? How to cure the evil of Botun? Looking for an umbrella? What happened to the shell? Is this Chili ribs a little shabby? Br>2. The lessor shall also apply for a house lease permit. According to the "Administrative Measures for Urban Housing Leasing" issued by the Ministry of Construction, it is legal to obtain a housing leasing license and pay the deed tax. As a legally binding house lease contract, lease registration is a necessary condition for the contract to take effect. If this legal procedure is not fulfilled, the contract will be regarded as invalid and its contents will not be protected by law. Once the lessee breaches the contract, the lessor will suffer economic losses. That is to say, in the case that the lessee defaults on the rent, the lessor can't protect his legitimate rights and interests by legal means.
