What should I pay attention to when renting a house? Teach you a few tricks to avoid minefields.

When the job changes or a better house is found, renting a house has become a problem that many people are troubled by. At present, housing prices in large and medium-sized cities are rising too high, and regulatory policies are introduced almost every year. However, for young people who have just entered the society and migrant workers who come to cities from rural areas to make a living, they can only choose to rent a house. So when renting a house, how to identify some rental scams and avoid minefields!

First, pay attention to the four major scams of renting a house

1, the deposit is non-refundable

Many hosting companies or intermediary companies have not returned the deposit, and many black landlords have destroyed their houses and refused to return the deposit.

2. Fake landlord

The landlord has a real estate license, but it's a pity that it's fake, but you can't tell at all. After collecting the rent, it disappears. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, we should avoid annual payment, don't rent a house that is very different from the market rent, and don't be greedy for petty gain. And before signing the rental contract, carefully compare whether the landlord's ID card and real estate license are consistent.

3. Advance payment

The swindler sent a very cheap house online. When you called, you said you had left home. This house is for investment. You want to find a stable tenant and describe your house well, which will arouse your appetite. Then you said that you paid half a month's rent as a deposit, and then came from other places to show you the house. After that, after you pay, the liar will not appear. So no matter where you rent a house, you must not pay any fees before signing the contract.

4. Online fraud

Many landlords or intermediaries publish rental information on the rental website, and may use photos that are inconsistent with the actual situation or deliberately drive up the rent to defraud tenants to see the room rate.

Second, understand the common sense of renting a house to help you avoid the "minefield"

1. Is the person on the property ownership certificate the same as the person who signed the contract with you?

The tenant must first ask the owner to show his identity certificate and the original account book; Secondly, please ask the owner to show the original certificate of ownership of the house, such as the property right certificate or the use right certificate. If you are handling the property right certificate, you should show the purchase contract signed with the original property right unit; Third, let the owner tell us more about the house and its surroundings, and learn from the conversation whether the owner is familiar with the basic situation.

2. Has the final water, electricity and property management been settled?

The utilities are basically paid monthly. Pay attention to the settlement date and degree of the last payment when handing over water and electricity to avoid disputes caused by overpayment.

You'd better write down everything in the room and the old and new situations clearly.

When renting a house, the renter must check the internal facilities of the house. When looking at the house, check whether the household appliances are working normally and whether the furniture is complete, and then list them. It is best to indicate who will bear the maintenance costs in case of failure, and clearly divide the responsibilities and write down whether the things are damaged. Write the contract as detailed as possible, which will help you protect yourself in the future.

4. The date of signing the contract and the due date of the rent, as well as the way and date of paying the rent, and how the owner or tenant can compensate for the early termination of the contract.

5. When the renter requests to return the lease at the expiration of the contract, the owner can deduct the renter's deposit on the condition that the house facilities are damaged or under other excuses, causing unnecessary losses to the lessee. Therefore, when signing the lease contract, both parties should indicate how many working days after the lease expires, and under what circumstances the owner should refund the deposit.

6. Make clear the location, number of rooms, area, quality, lease term, rent and payment term and method of the leased house.

7. Review whether the contract subject is qualified and whether laws and regulations allow the lessor to rent the house. Review whether the house lease procedures are complete. Proof of house property right is not a sufficient condition for legal rental. In order to apply for house lease certificate in accordance with relevant regulations, the lease contract must be registered before it can take effect.

8. Pay attention to Feng Shui. You can't rent a house next to illness. If the landlord of the house you want to rent has a seriously ill person at home, it means that the geomantic omen of the house is quite unsatisfactory, which is easy to be controlled by evil spirits and is in danger of contracting diseases. You can't rent an evil house. If you look at the house and find a road opposite the window, or a grave not far away, it belongs to a haunted house and must be resolutely avoided. Houses below the market price cannot be rented out, and there are often feng shui that is not conducive to tenants, such as abnormal deaths.

Through the above rental scams and rental skills, we can see that there are many kinds of rental scams. We can't ignore every situation, they are all related to our interests. Moreover, housing rental has become a normal state around us. It's best not to be too hasty, not to let criminals aim at our shortcomings, to be cautious and to see through the routines of swindlers. So if we need to rent a house outside, we must be careful of renting scams and fraud traps.
