Pledge one and pay three means that the renter gives the landlord four months' rent at one time, with one month as a deposit and three months' rent. However, it is a trap to promise one to lose three. Why? The main reasons are as follows:
1, landlord problem
The landlord problem in the transaction generally refers to the fake landlord. That is, the swindler rents the house, then pretends to be the landlord to sublet the house, and absconds with the rent paid by the tenant for one year or more.
Therefore, on the issue of the landlord, the renter should ask to see the landlord's real estate license and ID card after meeting the landlord. If he is renting a house for a friend, then he must have a power of attorney for renting a house, a friend's real estate license, an ID card or a copy. If the real estate license is not completed, a purchase contract must be issued to prove its true identity.
2, the charge problem
Fees in transactions generally refer to room fees, information fees and consulting fees. Illegal intermediaries often trick renters into paying 100-300 yuan rent, information fee or consulting fee under the guise of low-priced housing, and then claim that the house has been rented out and the landlord is absent. And the fee paid by the renter will never be refunded.
It is suggested that renters should stay away as far as possible when they hear something like "looking at the room rate". It is suggested that renters choose large real estate agents for transactions, especially some well-known large real estate agents, who have always promised "no transaction and no charge" and will fully serve renters until they find a suitable house.
3, the deposit problem
Generally speaking, when the renter requests to return the lease when the contract expires, the landlord will deduct the tenant's deposit on the condition that the housing facilities are damaged or other excuses, causing unnecessary losses to the tenant. As for the deposit, the current practice in the market is generally to pay three for one, three for two or four for two.
When signing the contract, it should be indicated that the owner should return the deposit within a few working days after the lease expires without damaging the house and its facilities. Of course, the key is that renters should take care of the facilities in the house, and don't give orders to others, so that some unscrupulous landlords can succeed.
