If you encounter such a black intermediary, you must first find out what form the contract signed by the landlord and the intermediary company belongs to. I believe many people have inspected it before looking for an intermediary. I don't know. You can ask the landlord. In the first case, if the landlord and the intermediary company sign an entrustment contract, once the intermediary runs away, the landlord has no right to drive away the tenant. Because at this time, the landlord and the intermediary company are entrusted, and the actual parties to the contract are the landlord and the tenant. Once the lease contract takes effect, it cannot be broken at will. The job of the intermediary company is to collect rent instead of the landlord and help solve the problems encountered by tenants when renting houses. If the landlord wants to investigate the responsibility, he should also go to the intermediary company to defend his rights and investigate the liability for breach of contract, instead of taking the tenant as an axe. In the second case, the landlord and the intermediary company signed a lease contract. At this time, the intermediary company accepts the entrustment of the landlord and sublets the house to the tenant, which is equivalent to the intermediary company being the second landlord and the owner being the boss. If the intermediary runs away with money at this time and the landlord can't continue to perform the contract with the intermediary company, then the contract signed by the tenant and the intermediary company is useless, and the landlord can defend his rights according to law and ask the tenant to move out.
The first situation is beneficial to the tenant, and the landlord can't drive people away. If the landlord cuts off water and electricity, the tenant can also sue the landlord for rights protection, but the prosecution should also be placed in the last step of rights protection, because the cost is too high and uneconomical. Don't panic even in the second case. The best way is mainly to solve it through consultation. It is not easy for everyone to go out, but it is easy to understand. If the house is not in a hurry, I think the landlord can understand everyone's difficulties. There are still many good people in the world.
