However, you can't trust all the calculated commuting time, because that's only a theoretical situation. No matter by bus, subway or car, it is best to use the morning rush hour on weekdays to start from this house to the company before renting a house and actually calculate the commuting time.
The second key point: the housing situation.
First, let's look at the construction time of the residential building where the house is located. Now there are houses in first-and second-tier cities, from houses built in the 1980s to houses in recent years. You can choose the right community according to your personal conditions and the quality of life you want.
Because the old community was built earlier, generally no more than 6 floors, most of them have no elevators, and the overall facilities are relatively old; There are many new residential units, many of which are high-rise buildings with elevators, and there are many households on the first floor, but there are few units with transparent north and south.
Secondly, the problem of water and electricity. What we want to confirm is whether the house uses electricity or the residents use electricity. For example, if some houses are used for commercial and residential purposes, it is possible to use commercial electricity and water, which is much more expensive than residential electricity and water.
Third, there is a great difference between North and South. Friends in the south want to see if the house to be rented has air conditioning. Many friends think that even if you don't have it, you can install it yourself when you live in it. In fact, some houses or some rooms can't be equipped with air conditioning. In addition, if you are not looking at the house in summer, you'd better turn on the air conditioner to see if it can cool down, otherwise the air conditioner will not work in summer, and the landlord may deduct your deposit accordingly.
Friends in the north should not only see whether there is air conditioning or not, but also pay attention to the problem of heating in winter, whether it is collective heating or self-heating. If it is collective heating, do you pay for it yourself or the landlord? If it is self-heating, what kind of heater can be used? Many friends don't care about self-heating, thinking that it won't cost much, but it's not. If it is self-heating, the cost of one winter may cost you two or three months' rent. It's best to find a house with heating, talk to the landlord and let him bear the heating bill.
In addition, whether in the south or the north, if you don't go to see the house in winter, you'd better check whether the windows are leaking. If you have the conditions, you can ask your neighbors on the same floor whether the heating is sufficient in winter.
Finally, when renting a house, be sure to confirm whether the furniture, electrical appliances and other equipment and facilities can operate normally and whether there is any damage. If you feel that there is something that needs to be installed at home, you'd better discuss it with the landlord before paying. Under normal circumstances, the landlord and the intermediary will make it up for you.
