Mr. Gao, who has been working in other places these days, is going to work in Nanjing, so he searches for rental information online. Mr. Gao said that he saw a real estate called "Jinling International", and the monthly rent of 30-40 square meters was about 3,000-3,500. In the same city as 58, he saw a building in Jinling International, which was only 1800 a month. Out of curiosity, he called Ms. Zhu, the contact person.
Mr. Gao was very happy that the house was cost-effective, but Ms. Zhu said that in order to show her trust in both parties, Mr. Gao had to pay the 200 yuan deposit in advance. A few days later, Mr. Gao went to Nanjing to see the house but encountered various evasions. This phenomenon has also caused many consumers to vomit in interviews.
The consumer said that he liked the house and the price was quite cheap, but when he called, he would tell you that the house was sold or that many people are watching it now. It is best to come for an interview.
This situation does not only happen in Nanjing, but also in Beijing, Shanghai and other places where renting and buying houses are the most frequent. In foreign countries, is online housing search the main way to rent and buy a house? Is the phenomenon of fake housing serious? If it is found that the housing is false or false propaganda, what kind of punishment will the intermediary agency receive?
The rules of renting a house in America are very strict.
Li Yan, who studied in the United States, had the experience of renting a house in the United States. According to her observation, finding a house online is also one of the methods commonly used by Americans now. But unlike China, an eye-catching sign will be posted outside the door, indicating that the house is for rent. So many people go to the streets to find a house without surfing the internet.
Li Yan said that it is not difficult to wander around some communities or some apartments, or to find a house with signs of renting and selling from neighbors, but many homeowners will also find an intermediary agent, especially putting their rental and selling information on the Internet, in order to find a more suitable tenant. If you rent it through a broker, you have to pay the broker 15% commission every year.
Li Yan said that in general, the supervision of rented houses in the United States is still very strict, but it is inevitable that someone will commit crimes against the wind. At this time, a strong sense of law is a magic weapon to safeguard the interests of victims.
Relatively speaking, the legal measures for renting houses in the United States are relatively perfect. The owner of the house must first obtain the house lease license issued by the government before he can legally rent the house openly and advertise. Urban construction management departments must also send staff to evaluate houses. To find a suitable tenant, both parties should provide personal information such as name and address, and then fill in a written contract. In addition, real estate agents also have regulatory responsibilities. If there is a problem, the homeowner can also ask for compensation from the agent.
European deposit protection can be appealed for free.
Look to Europe. In Britain, online listing information is dazzling, and there are also many fake listings. According to Hou Ying, a British observer of Global Chinese Broadcasting Network, what can be seen in China can also be seen in Britain. In addition, when renting a house in Britain, it is still difficult to get back the deposit after the contract expires. In this case, victims can defend their rights through the appeal system of deposit protection projects.
Hou Ying said that in Britain, houses are mainly seen through intermediary companies. Generally, you will first search the location, year and price of the house you need online, and then go to the entity intermediary company for consultation. In order to attract more customers, some intermediaries will keep some attractive houses and some false advertisements. For example, they will keep the house with very good conditions but low rent or price, put it in a better position on the website, and pay the deposit in advance through the network before viewing the house. In addition, the intermediary will charge a non-refundable handling fee. A friend once said that he was charged a handling fee of 2 10 by the intermediary. Then the agent told him that the landlord accepted another application, but his handling fee could not be refunded. In addition, the deposit will be paid to the intermediary or landlord after the house is confirmed. It is very important to determine which project they will use to protect everyone's deposits before signing the contract and avoid future disputes. Every deposit protection project has a free appeal service. If the landlord or intermediary deliberately refuses to refund the deposit, you can also use this service to make a complaint.
Russia relies on formal housing agencies.
Finally, let's look at Russia. Zhang Shunheng, who studied in Russia, rented a house in St. Petersburg to study. According to his experience, it is best to find a large formal housing agency to rent a house in Russia, with reliable housing and transparent fees. Especially foreigners who are not familiar with Russian laws should be extra careful when renting a house. They easily believe that there are good things in the sky, and they pay the so-called landlord in advance for cheap, which is likely to fall into the trap of swindlers.
According to Zhang Shunheng, the websites of major cities in Russia are full of false listing information, and the websites have also launched a reporting function, hoping to crack down on dishonest information publishers. However, due to the timeliness of housing information, it is difficult to obtain evidence and verify, which consumes a lot of manpower and the effect is not good. Criminals even constantly change their account numbers, mobile phone numbers and IP addresses to publish false or even fraudulent information, such as renting some good houses at extremely low prices, but the houses described in advertisements usually do not exist. Relying on false information, some swindlers pretend to be landlords with fake documents and rent houses at extremely low prices. The tenant gives the advance payment or deposit to the swindler. Afterwards, the swindler asked the tenant to move in a few days later on the pretext of vacating the house or cleaning the house. When they checked in, the tenant found that the landlord had long since disappeared. In some parts of Russia, this has even evolved into a fraud model. In fact, every city in Russia has many large-scale formal housing agencies with professional and thoughtful services. The agency fee is the first month's rent, and renters can easily avoid all the tedious and scams of finding a house to rent.
