First, let's take a look at the case study.
Xiao Zhang, who just graduated, rented a house near the company, but was blackmailed by the landlord when the lease expired at the end of the year.
It turned out that when renting a house, Xiao Zhang didn't sign a rental contract because he was anxious and saw that the landlord was kind at that time. When checking the house, Xiao Zhang found that the refrigerator could not be used. After informing the landlord, the landlord said it was a trivial matter and would never pursue Xiao Zhang's responsibility in the future. So Xiao Zhang didn't care. However, when the lease expired and it was necessary to check out, the landlord claimed that the refrigerator was damaged by Xiao Zhang and demanded compensation from Xiao Zhang, so he sealed up all the rental deposits 1500 yuan.
What should I do if I meet the wrong landlord?
In real life, Xiao Zhang did not sign a rental contract because of carelessness, which eventually led to a lot of violations of related rights and interests.
Many tenants can only admit their bad luck. In fact, when the landlord finds the wrong person, the dispute can be resolved through the following channels.
1. Apply for mediation to relevant organizations.
The lessee may seek the help of legal service workers for mediation from neighborhood committees, village committees, people's mediation committees or grass-roots judicial administrative organs.
2. Apply for arbitration to solve the rental dispute.
Arbitration is a legal way for citizens, legal persons and other organizations to apply to the Arbitration Commission to resolve contract disputes or other property rights disputes. The parties shall abide by the principle of voluntariness in resolving disputes through arbitration, and shall stipulate in the contract in advance or reach an arbitration agreement afterwards. Arbitration has the effect of a judicial act. Once the judgment takes effect, the parties may not bring a lawsuit to the court for the same dispute.
3. Through civil litigation.
In case of extortion by the landlord, you can also directly file a civil lawsuit with the people's court and ask the landlord to return the relevant finance. If the landlord takes illegal actions and endangers the life and property safety of the tenant, you should choose to call the police.
How can tenants avoid the landlord's blackmail?
If you want to avoid this kind of thing, you must remember to sign a rental contract before renting a house. Not only that, but also carefully read the terms in the rental contract to avoid missing relevant details. It is also necessary to list all aspects involved in renting a house and negotiate the scope of powers and responsibilities.
The more detailed the rental contract, the better, reducing disputes. Even if there is a dispute, both parties should settle it according to the contract, so that tenants can safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
