In the recent graduation season, several friends came to ask me about renting a house, and then I thought of the confusion and ignorance I encountered when renting a house for the first time. I deliberately took the time to sort out a Changsha rental strategy, comprehensively sorted out some online materials, and combined with some of my experiences and opinions, I hope to help you avoid detours.
Early stage: do you choose to find yourself or find an intermediary?
If you don't want to pay the agency fee, you can. Similarly, if you save money, you have to spend a lot of time and energy looking, seeing and running. During this period, you may be frustrated because the house is not real, or you have a house recommended by a friend, or you feel lucky to find a reliable house soon, and everything is satisfactory. You can find it yourself. Otherwise, I really suggest you find a reliable intermediary company (to avoid advertising suspicion, I only recommend the platform I am using at the end of the article), which will save you a lot of time and energy.
Factors to be considered in the early stage of renting:
1, preparation time
It takes time to find a satisfactory house. Don't wait until check-in time to find out! Generally, you should start looking for a house at least 10- 15 days in advance.
2. Is it a shared rent or a whole rent?
Can you share common areas (refrigerator, kitchen, bathroom, etc.)? ) with others? If not, the whole rent is more suitable for you. The best choice for sharing is to share with people you know, but when sharing with people you don't know, please remember to leave a copy of your ID card and contact information with your new roommate for safety, and it is best to take a selfie together. Sharing also requires clarifying the cost with roommates before moving in to avoid disputes in the future.
3. Select the lease area
Land and capital are scarce in the city center, and transportation in remote areas is inconvenient, which increases the cost of living. The best choice is the marginal area with convenient transportation in the big business district. It is best to consider the time of work place and house within half an hour's drive, which will add a lot of happiness to your later life.
4. Environmental requirements
It is suggested that the decoration requirements should not be too high and the supporting facilities should be improved. After check-in, you can simply decorate your own style, and the cost will be much lower.
Mid-term: factors that should be paid attention to when looking at the house to prevent regrets after moving in.
1, surrounding environment
Check whether the house is close to the road, and whether the lighting and access are good. Ask about the surrounding living facilities, such as vegetable market, supermarket, transportation, medical care, etc.
2. Safety
Check whether the performance of the security door is good, whether the windows are in good condition, and how the doors and windows are hygienic; Check whether the water pipe is unobstructed, whether the circuit is aging, and whether the high-power electrical appliances can be used.
3. Check the indoor configuration
Check whether the furniture and household appliances in the house are aging and exceed the specified service life; Know how to use gas/gas appliances, water heaters and other items.
Later: sign the contract, hand over the house, and write the details clearly!
One: Please be sure to check whether the landlord has a title certificate and whether the title certificate has the official seal of the local real estate bureau; Look at the landlord's ID card and check whether there is an anti-counterfeiting mark on the ID card if necessary; If you sign a lease contract with an intermediary, you should check the agency agreement between the intermediary and the landlord to understand the agency time of the intermediary.
Two: If the rented house is not the lessor's own, it should be required to show the real estate license, ID card and the power of attorney of the owner of the house, and it is best to contact the owner directly to confirm the property right of the house; According to the law, sublease should conclude a sublease contract (not a lease contract). The sublease contract shall be subject to the written consent of the original lessor, and the registration formalities shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of these measures.
Third, when signing a rental contract, we must distinguish the rights and obligations of both parties to avoid unnecessary disputes.
There are mainly: how to pay the rent, utilities, gas and property fees, when to pay the rent every month, who will be responsible for the maintenance of the housing facilities without man-made damage, and how to compensate the landlord for the early termination of the contract.
Four: when signing the contract, it is necessary to indicate the number of equipment in the house, the degree of old and new, etc. The more specific the better.
Note: don't pay before reaching an agreement; Be sure to keep the receipt when paying the deposit.
Five: Generally, renting a house is "one mortgage and three payments", and the contract is signed for one year. If the rent is obviously lower than the market price and requires annual or semi-annual payment, you need to be vigilant. Note: Some intermediary companies stipulate that if the one-year lease expires, if the lease is renewed for one year, an extra month's rent (that is, the agency fee) will be paid. Tenants need to consider this situation in advance.
Six: try to replace the door lock.
Replace the lock cylinder as much as possible after delivery. You never know who the last tenant is, and you never know if he will suddenly kill him. After the formal check-in, if the normal use of facilities fails, you should contact the landlord or intermediary as soon as possible.
The above are the points that should be paid attention to in comprehensive renting.
Regarding the recommendation of intermediary platform, there are many unreliable ones on the market now, so we must rent a house through formal intermediary channels. It is best to choose a large-scale intermediary brokerage agency with professional service and standardized operation to quickly solve the problem of renting houses and effectively protect their own interests.
I have also used several platforms, and the one I recommend to you is the one I feel most satisfied with, called Looking for a Rental Network. The person who shows the house is called the housekeeper and the service is very good. I didn't rush me after seeing many houses, so I accompanied me to find the one I was satisfied with. If the expenses are settled in one lump sum, there will be no arbitrary charges. The most important thing, and the reason why I recommend this rent-seeking network, is that it is easy to encounter major events in life, such as broken TV, broken air conditioner and blocked sewer. At this time, I just need to tell their people and I will deal with it immediately. I think this is good news. After all, I also met the time when the sewer was blocked and I called the landlord. I hope this rental strategy can bring you convenience, and I hope your life is getting better and better!
