However, if you want to contact the owners directly, it is sometimes really difficult. Because some owners are too troublesome, they give the information of the house to the intermediary and let them rent it out, saving their worries. Some owners rent the house directly to the intermediary for a long time, and then the intermediary rents it to others to earn the rent difference. This kind of rent is very common, and no real owner can be found. The intermediary is the current owner.
In fact, sometimes it is necessary to find a real owner. When renting a house, we must see clearly the legal ownership of the house and whether the person who signed the rental contract with us is the owner or the authorized person, otherwise our rent may be wasted. There is also looking for a homeowner to rent a house, which can also be cheaper from the rent, saving the cost earned by the intermediary. The same is true for buying a house. Even if it is introduced by an intermediary, you should meet the owner in advance and talk about the real transaction with the owner.
I once let a house out to an intermediary. Once, I was looking at the house and drove over to open the door for the tenant. At that time, the result was not discussed, because the intermediary prevented the landlord and tenant from directly docking, otherwise there would be nothing for them. But at that time, the tenants were smart. He went downstairs and found my phone number in front of my car. I parked it temporarily in the car and someone found me. Then the tenant contacted me directly, negotiated the rent of the house with me, and skipped the intermediary to rent the house successfully.
