How to deal with heartless landlords?

As renters, in the process of renting, we are likely to encounter some unreasonable landlord behaviors, which may make us feel helpless and annoyed. Here, I would like to share my unreasonable landlord behavior and treatment methods, in order to help everyone.

First, ask for rent in advance.

Some landlords will require tenants to pay rent for three months or more in advance before signing a contract or moving in. I think such a request is totally unreasonable. Because according to the lease law, it can only be collected one month in advance at most, and more than one month is illegal. And even if the payment is made when signing the contract, it can't exceed one month.

What should I do if I pay the rent in advance? First of all, you need to know your legal rights and fully communicate and negotiate with the landlord. If you repeatedly make it clear that you don't agree to pay rent in advance and stick to your position, you can consider finding other suitable houses.

Second, enter the room without authorization

Some landlords will enter our rented rooms without authorization, perhaps because of cleaning and maintenance, but this behavior may violate our privacy. Therefore, the landlord must obtain the consent and permission of the tenant before entering the room, and need to inform the time and purpose in advance.

If the landlord enters the room without authorization, we can communicate with the landlord and tell the other party that we don't want this to happen again. If the landlord still insists on moving in, he can report to the relevant departments or consider changing to a safer and more reasonable residence.

Third, the fixed time rounds.

Some landlords will regularly check the condition of residential leased properties, for example, once a week or two, which is also an invasion of tenants' privacy. According to the law, when there is no legal reason, the landlord can't come to see our rented property at will.

In case of regular rounds, we should take active measures to reflect this situation to other units and make it clear that we abide by relevant lease rules and regulations. At the same time, only in violation of the law, or within the scope of business need others to cooperate and help solve the problem, can we conduct rounds.

4. Unreasonable deposit requirements

When signing a lease contract, some landlords will ask us to pay a large deposit, even more than half a year or even a year's rent. This kind of behavior is not only illegal, but also may lead to some contradictions and disputes when we can't find each other during the lease period. Although some landlords insist that we pay the deposit, we need to insist on safeguarding our rights and interests.

If there is a requirement for a large deposit, we can communicate and negotiate more to remind the landlord to handle related matters according to law. If the problem is not solved, then consider looking for other more suitable and legal housing.

5. Unreasonable deduction or arbitrary charges

During our stay, we may encounter unreasonable deductions or unreasonable charges from the landlord, such as the sudden increase in property fees and utilities. In this case, we need to report to the relevant departments in time to safeguard our own interests. At the same time, in the process of leasing, we can consider clearly agreeing on various charging standards and signing a contract with the other party. If it is found that the price is too high or there are other hidden conditions, the tenant can prove his legitimate rights and interests and safeguard his own interests by providing appropriate evidence.

In short, in the process of renting a house, when encountering the unreasonable behavior of the landlord, you need to remain calm, firmly advocate your rights and interests, and communicate with relevant departments in time. At the same time, it is also very important to find and choose a suitable place to avoid some unexpected situations affecting our future living experience.
