If you encounter a bad landlord when renting a house, please tell me what to do.

1. Communication and negotiation.

If it involves problems such as failure to replace some damaged hardware facilities or non-refund of the rental deposit, you can first try to communicate with the landlord. You can present facts and reason. For example, take out a list of items in the house to prove that everything is in good condition when you move in. Even if there are problems, it is the best persuasion.

As for the situation where the rental deposit is not refundable, you can also communicate with the landlord first to find out what is the reason for non-refundability, what are the deduction standards, etc. Through communication and communication between both parties, if the cost is within the acceptable range, then digest it and solve the matter perfectly.

2. If negotiation fails, bring out the lease contract as a basis.

When we rent a house, we must sign a paper contract, indicating the expenses incurred and the conditions for check-out. The contract must specify the fees to be paid for the housing, the conditions for check-out, the increase during the lease period, etc. If the bad landlord proposes some unreasonable behavior such as confiscating the deposit, then you can take out the contract and ask the other party to perform the contract according to the specific terms.

Both parties renting a house must fulfill the spirit of the contract. So the contract before renting is very important. It is the basis for negotiation between the two parties and is also an effective evidence for resorting to law.

3. Complain to relevant departments or call the police.

The two parties failed to negotiate privately, and the landlord deducted the deposit without authorization, terminated the lease contract, or even violated the spirit of the contract. It is recommended to call the police. If there is strong evidence, I believe the relevant departments will give you a reasonable ruling.

Usually keep rental contracts, payment receipts, chat records, dictation recordings, etc. This evidence is also the key to safeguarding rights in future disputes. If your landlord causes you heavy losses, you must sue the other party and fight for your reasonable rights and interests. As long as the landlord breaches the contract, we as tenants have rights to claim.
