Last month, the house rented by Xiao Wang expired, but the landlord closed the house on the 5th and promised to refund the deposit on 16. But on the 30th, he still refused to return the deposit to Xiao Wang, and made many excuses, such as minor problems such as wall damage, which made him very depressed. I don't know what to do to get my deposit back. The following small series gives Xiao Wang an idea.
First, the housing lease dispute mediation procedures:
Xiao Wang should apply for mediation in writing to the lease management department where the house is located. After receiving the application for mediation, the management office will review the relevant materials and accept it. The management office will conduct an investigation and then mediate. If both parties to the lease cannot reach an agreement, or one party is unwilling to perform the mediation agreement, it shall record their respective opinions in the Registration Form of House Lease Dispute Mediation, and put forward suggestions for the next dispute settlement (the parties shall negotiate by themselves), or apply to an arbitration institution for arbitration, or bring a civil lawsuit to the people's court. ) for the reference of the parties, the mediation procedure shall be terminated.
Of course, you can also call the rental dispute consultation phone before management mediation, but the phone numbers vary from place to place, so I won't give an example here.
Second, how to avoid the problem of non-refundable rental deposit?
1. The housing situation must be clearly stipulated in the rental contract, so you should pay attention here. It is stated in the contract that liquidated damages will be deducted under certain circumstances, but it is not clear when the deposit will be returned. Therefore, when renting a house, you must read the contract clearly, otherwise it will be tears to check out later.
2. If the housing facilities are not damaged, the deposit shall be refunded in full: when the renter requests to return the lease at the expiration of the contract, the landlord may deduct the tenant's deposit on the condition that the housing facilities are damaged or under other excuses, causing unnecessary losses to the tenant. Therefore, when signing the lease contract, both parties should indicate how many working days after the lease expires. If the house and its facilities are not damaged, the owner should refund the deposit.
3. Unless otherwise agreed in the lease contract, the lessee shall return the deposit in full to the lessee without interest on the day after the lease relationship is dissolved, the landlord moves out, the accounts are settled and the payable expenses are paid.
Conclusion: Therefore, we should read the contract carefully in the process of renting a house in the future to avoid disputes when checking out in the future. If these things happen, don't panic. Call the local rental dispute consultation office to find out how to better handle the disputes when renting.
