Find yourself or find an intermediary?
Either way, we should first understand the average rental market price in the intended area.
If through acquaintances, network, community advertising, etc., it can save costs, but it is time-consuming and labor-consuming.
If you have limited time and energy, you can entrust an intermediary company with professional qualifications. Generally, the rent is paid in the way of "one mortgage and three payments". If the rent is significantly lower than the market price and requires annual or semi annual payment, we need to be vigilant.
be careful
Some intermediary companies stipulate that if the rental expires in one year, if it is renewed for one year, it will need to pay an additional month's rent (i.e. intermediary fee), and renters need to consider this situation in advance.
Find a house like this, save time and money!
List the requirements for the house first
Such as independent kitchen and bathroom, elevator room, north-south transparency, etc. Select the one closest to your rental requirements, and then contact to see the house.
Calculate transportation and time costs
An inch of land in the city center is worth an inch of money, but the inconvenient transportation in remote areas increases the cost. The best choice is the edge area with convenient transportation in the radiation area of the large business circle.
Try to choose two or three houses for sharing
As the rent of the bathroom and kitchen should be shared among the rooms, the less the room, the more expensive the flat price of each room. However, too many bedrooms will affect the living quality, so the cost performance of two or three bedrooms is the highest. The shared rent can generally be less than 200 ~ 300 yuan, and the daily expenses can also be AA.
The requirements for decoration should not be too high, and the supporting facilities should be perfect.
What do you need to see?
Surrounding environment and supporting facilities
Check whether the house is close to the road, whether the lighting and ventilation are good, etc;
Ask about the surrounding living facilities, such as supermarkets, transportation, hospitals, etc; Whether there is a perfect property.
Focus on doors and windows
Check the performance of the anti-theft door, whether the window is intact and the sanitation of the door and window edge; Check whether the water pipe is unobstructed, whether the circuit is aging, and whether high-power electrical appliances can be used.
Check the indoor configuration
Check whether the furniture and household appliances are damaged; Understand the precautions for using gas appliances, showers and other items. Record these information in detail and communicate with the landlord to avoid disputes afterwards.
Rent 'four notes'!
Leave enough time to find a room
Renting sometimes takes a long time. Don't wait until the last house is about to expire before you start looking for it. Generally, you should start looking for a room at least 2 weeks in advance.
Careful selection of joint tenants
Most college students rent houses together after graduation. It is best to choose to rent with classmates or acquaintances. For girls, do not rent rashly without fully understanding the co tenants or co rent advertisements.
If you rent together with people you don't know, you must leave copies of ID cards, work cards and contact numbers with each other to reduce unnecessary economic disputes.
Careful selection of joint tenants
Self renters should check the property right certificate of the rented house and the identity certificate of the landlord; If you sign a rental contract with an intermediary, you should check the principal-agent agreement between the intermediary and the landlord to understand the agency time of the intermediary.
Beware of 'second landlords'
Legally, if the second landlord sublets the leased house, it must be approved or promised by the original owner, otherwise it will be invalid. Therefore, renters can ask to see the lease contract signed between the second landlord and the original owner. In addition, the termination date of the sublease contract shall not exceed the termination date specified in the original lease contract, otherwise the lessee will bear greater risks.
Sign the contract and write down the details!
1. When signing the rental contract, we must distinguish the rights and obligations of both parties to avoid unnecessary disputes.
The main items are: how to pay the rent, utilities, gas, telephone and cable TV fees, when to pay the rent every month, who should be responsible for the maintenance of housing facilities if they are not artificially damaged, and how to compensate if the landlord terminates the contract in advance.
2. When signing the contract, it is necessary to indicate the number of equipment in the house, the degree of old and new, and the more specific, the better.
Note: do not pay fees until an agreement is reached. Be sure to keep the receipt for the deposit.
What should I pay attention to when handing over the house?
1. Check fixtures
If the goods cannot operate normally or are damaged, the landlord can be required to repair; If the landlord promises to replace, it is necessary to agree in the contract. Ask the landlord to light household goods face to face and ask the landlord to sign after writing it.
2. The property inspection shall be attached to the contract
If you rent a house through an intermediary, the intermediary company will provide a property list as an annex to the contract and indicate the degree of damage; If you rent a house by yourself, you need to confirm the specific values of water meter and electricity meter with the landlord, find out whether the former tenant has settled, etc., and explain them one by one as an annex to the contract.
3. Replace the door lock as soon as possible
Replace the lock cylinder as soon as possible after the house handover; After formal check-in, in case of failure in the normal use of facilities, contact the landlord or intermediary at the first time.
Rent common words, we must understand!
Whole rent / joint rent
The whole rent is to rent a whole set of houses. Joint rent means that only one house in multiple rooms is rented, and others live in other rooms.
Master / secondary
Generally, for two or three bedroom rooms, the larger bedroom becomes the master bedroom and the smaller bedroom becomes the second bedroom. The houses with these four words are generally shared.
Large bay
There is no separate living room, which is a one bedroom house type integrating the living room and bedroom. That is, a large room + bathroom + kitchen (there may be a balcony), which is more suitable for living alone.
Charge n to pay m
It refers to the way of paying rent and deposit. For example, one mortgage and three payments means that you pay one month's rent as a deposit and pay the rent every three months, that is, you need to pay four months' rent for the first time (excluding intermediary fee).
North South transparent
It means that the orientation of the windows of the house is north-south, and there are windows on both sides of the north and south for ventilation. This orientation is the best.
