What does the agent mean by renting a house?

The intermediary said that renting refers to the rental service provided by professional real estate agencies. By collecting a large number of rental information, including rental price, area, location, room type and so on. And matching with the demand of the rental demander, the rental agent helps the rental demander to quickly find the most cost-effective rental object and provide all-round rental consulting services. According to the intermediary, the advantage of renting a house is that the renter can find the rental object that meets his own needs more conveniently and quickly, and the intermediary company can provide professional rental consulting services to minimize the rental risk.

According to the intermediary, the process of renting a house is generally divided into three stages: recruiting the owner, collecting the house and providing services for the tenant. First of all, intermediary companies need to cooperate with landlords and recruit landlords as much as possible in order to obtain more housing resources. Secondly, intermediary companies constantly collect housing information, update their housing database in time, and provide a series of useful housing search functions to help tenants find the most suitable housing among many houses. Finally, the intermediary company will provide tenants with a full range of rental services, including house inspection, review of lease agreements, follow-up maintenance, etc., to ensure that all matters in the rental process can be properly resolved.

The agent said that the rental fee is mainly divided into two parts: service fee and deposit. The service fee is the fee charged by the intermediary company in order to provide rental services, which is generally about one month's rent. The deposit is paid by the tenant to the landlord or intermediary company, usually one to two months' rent, as the deposit when the tenant checks out at the end of the lease period. It should be noted that before signing the lease contract, the intermediary company generally needs to conduct credit review and housing verification on the tenant to ensure that the tenant has a certain credit record, the authenticity and legality of the housing, and avoid any risks in the process of renting.
