1. What kinds of leasing agents are there?
1, this intermediary is only the link between the landlord and the renter. The intermediary publishes the housing information, the renter takes a fancy to a suite, the intermediary is responsible for contacting the landlord and the renter, and the three parties go to see the house together. After reading it, if it is negotiated, the three parties will sign the agreement together, and the intermediary will collect the intermediary fee, and then the intermediary will have nothing. After that, the follow-up matters of the house (paying rent, house maintenance, etc. ) Both landlords and renters are in direct contact.
The landlord rents the house to the intermediary, and the intermediary rents the house to the renter. The lessor written in the contract may be the name of the landlord or the name of the intermediary company, and there is no substantive difference. You are equivalent to renting a house from an intermediary company. After renting a house, things like home damage and maintenance are all solved by contacting an intermediary. The rent is also paid directly to the intermediary.
3. There is another kind of intermediary, which calls itself a non-intermediary and does not charge an intermediary fee, and is called an agent. They often rent a house with two rooms (two rooms 1 hall) at the price of 2500 yuan/month, and then divide the living room into small single rooms with partitions (usually putty-painted boards). Generally speaking, they don't charge agency fees. Then pay rent, house maintenance, etc. Also contact the intermediary directly.
Second, what problems should I pay attention to when looking for a rental agent?
1. Propagandize falsehood and induce consumers to sign contracts. Some housing agencies attract customers with so-called high-quality and low-cost housing, but the actual housing situation does not match the propaganda name. In the complaint case, there was an advertisement that lied about the transfer of furniture and home appliances, but it was not stated in the contract, so that consumers could buy houses and see houses falsely.
2, the conclusion of the overlord contract, the rights and interests of consumers can not be guaranteed. A consumer complained that when the intermediary company signed the contract, it was agreed that, with or without introduction, as long as the consumer signed the contract with the information room of the intermediary company, it was necessary to pay the intermediary fee. These clauses are seriously illegal.
3. Make excuses and charge various fees. Some intermediary companies find various excuses, in addition to legal intermediary fees, but also charge so-called room fees, consulting fees and other fees.
