Wandering on the road: some thoughts on renting a house

The house will expire on July 24 this month, and I am ready to change rooms, and then I am on the road to renting.

The house we live in now is two bedrooms and one living room, which costs 3000 yuan a month. Without sharing, another house has been empty. I took in a colleague for 2 months, and my friend stayed with me several times when he came to Shanghai.

We think it's too wasteful, and we're going to change to a house with one room and one living room, about 2500. And the house where I live now. There is something wrong with the layout. The design of kitchen and laundry room is unreasonable. The conditions are a little crude, I can only say that it is ok, but I always feel that there is something wrong.

The advantage is that it is close to the subway station and the boss, saving a lot of working time. what can I do for you? Very convenient.

Since I decided to change houses, I went to the intermediary to register. We locked in the scope first, and now we still live in one place, and the shuttle bus of Teacher Liu's company has to pass. I found the house where I live now. Teacher Liu always thought I wouldn't find a house. This time he decided to find it himself.

Last Sunday, I ran over 10 intermediary companies, which are distributed in different areas. There are no houses, especially one-bedroom and one-bedroom houses, but there are one-bedroom households. We went to see a 3000-yuan one-bedroom apartment. At that time, the location was not as good as it is now, the conditions were better and the cost performance was not high, so I don't want it.

On Monday night, it was raining, and Mr. Liu Ran went to three houses. There are two one-bedroom apartments, one of which is separated and is also a wall, that is, three bedrooms and one living room, and a big bedroom. About 2000 or 2300, more than 20 square meters, with kitchen and bathroom, no living room. As soon as we saw that the condition of a one-bedroom apartment was not good at all, we decided to give up looking for a one-bedroom apartment.

I also saw a set of 67 square meters of two rooms and one living room. The living room is small, but the conditions are very good. It is the house where local families live in Shanghai now. Mr. Liu is very satisfied with the layout and decoration inside.

The intermediary brother said that 3200 yuan should be negotiable. The current tenant rented 3000 yuan last year. The tenant rented the house for his daughter's college entrance examination. It seems that the landlord of this house intends to rent this house for a long time.

The disadvantage of this house is that it is in the middle and the location of the subway station is embarrassing. Line 8, Line 6, 1 1 are not far away. It takes me 10- 15 minutes to walk to the subway station, but the place where I live now only takes 5 minutes, and the house expires in early August, which is a little different from our house.

I still want to rent the house over there for 3000 yuan, and I don't want to raise the rent. Mr. Liu said that the matter would be left to me. He will look after the house and I will talk about it.

Last time I rented a house, we talked very well, free of rent. I talked for a week. 18. I didn't start counting money until the 25th. The rent has risen from 3300 to 3000, and two old air conditioners consume too much electricity. The landlord gave me a budget of 5000 yuan, so I can buy it myself.

Because I only had 1 1,000 yuan at that time last year, and the rent was 1 * * 1 2,000 yuan, the landlord finally agreed to put 29,000 yuan on the down payment. When broadband was installed at that time, the price was already very favorable. I talked about some discounts on the spot and gave me another three months.

When I get off work at night, I am confident to win the house I want with 3000 yuan. Killed a man halfway, rented a house for 3500. I have seen so many houses and learned so much these days. At present, there are few houses, so we decided to renew the lease. But last month I told the landlord not to renew the lease.

The condition of the house is a little worse now, but at least the location is good, the price is cheap and the transportation is convenient.

Before calling the landlord, I made the following analysis. The landlord here is unlikely to raise the rent, because I am more worried. I haven't bothered him for a year, nor have I seen him once. Call 9000 yuan to his account on time on the 20th of every month, and attach a short message. The washing machine here is broken. I'll fix it myself, and so will the lights ... keep the receipt and calculate it centrally.

He wants to raise a house. What can I say? I will analyze the pros and cons for him. There is a risk that his house is vacant for rent, and he can't rent it out for a month, and there is no 3000 yuan. If he finds another tenant, he has to pay an agency fee of 1000 yuan. He lives in Puxi, so it is inconvenient to come to Pudong … ..

Let me talk about the conversation at that time.

Me: Hello, Mr. Zhang. I want to discuss something with you. Can I renew my house here? I didn't explain anything before. )

Mr. Zhang: OK. It was supposed to raise the rent, but you never give us any trouble, so you won't raise the rent. When do you think you have time, I'll come and add a sentence to the contract.

Me: Thank you. I'm very busy recently. I'll make an appointment with you next week.

If he asks for an increase in rent, I won't contradict him. I will ask: How much do you think is appropriate? Usually it's 200 yuan, so it's 2,400 yuan a year. I can tell the reasons for my analysis of the above advantages and disadvantages, the risk of vacant houses, agency fees, delays ...)

Rent a house, sometimes by luck, find one and you will find it. But more often, it still depends on diligence and seeing more. I have a friend Tommy who is good at renting a house. He lives in Yaohan, close to Lujiazui. He rents one room and one hall, which is very big, and the other room has been renovated, which is less than 3,000 yuan. The landlord is in Australia and never comes back all the year round. He can live carefree for a long time. Their life there is very convenient, three minutes from the vegetable market, five minutes from his coffee and juice shop and ten minutes from Lujiazui. The traffic is very convenient.

We rent a house this time, and we don't consider one room. One room and one living room are too hard to find. Two rooms and one living room, although a little wasteful, but there is another consideration. My brother may come to work in Shanghai.

When renting a house, I took this into consideration in advance and rented a two-bedroom apartment. If he comes, he can live in another room and make a transition.

I really want to cooperate with my brother, because he is clean, his clothes are neatly folded, he cooks a few blocks away from me, and he is very diligent. Moreover, his work will definitely travel frequently, which will have little impact on our lives.

Renting a house in Shanghai should pay more attention to cost performance. Renting a house for 3500 or 4000 won't affect our life, mainly because it's not worth it.

I also want to say that when renting a house, we should compare the advantages and disadvantages, and also consider the situation of the landlord, so that we can have experience by running more. Work in advance, and you'll be relieved later.

There are two episodes of renting this house. When Mr. Liu got off work, he told his colleagues that he was going to see the house. When his boss heard this, he called him over and said, you still have to buy this house. I'll give you a raise.

Since I decided to stay in Shanghai, I still want to buy this house. After two years, when my job is stable, I will pay the down payment and buy a slightly smaller house. We used to be just such a concept, but we never made a specific plan.

After this incident, we began to put buying a house on the agenda and began to discuss. I said one room and one living room, about 30,000, one level, 1.5 million-1.8 million. After buying a house, there is no pressure even if the mortgage is repaid.

Teacher Liu immediately refuted me and said, no, my colleague bought a one-bedroom and one-bedroom apartment. Now that you have children, it is very inconvenient to change houses. He suggested that I should do it in one step. Finally, we decided to buy two rooms and one living room, about 60-70 square meters.

Next, we will begin to inspect all key kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools in Shanghai ... This is not urgent, and it will take some time to plan. Buying a house is a systematic project, not just a house.

You don't just have to live. Make these plans, and your children will not have to worry about going to school in the next ten years. Because here in Shanghai, children go to school by district. If the hukou is in Pudong, you can't go to Xujiahui to go to school. There is a colleague whose registered permanent residence is in Xuhui District. Xuhui District is a good school. His children have gone from kindergarten to junior high school. All good schools are really enviable.

We need targeted combination and selection. It is estimated that buying a house will be more difficult than renting a house, and it will take a few more trips. You can save money by running more. Be careful living at home.

Although housing prices in Shanghai are high, reasonable planning can be bought. Sometimes I see seven houses in the name of my colleagues around me. Although I am envious, I don't feel unfair.

In my notebook, I also listed the number of times I moved. Four years after graduation, I moved 10 times, moved to three cities and wandered on the road.

Recently, I was thinking, what would my life be like if I took a time machine back to the original starting point? Regret is inevitable, but I appreciate life and give me such an opportunity to experience more living conditions. This is how we grow up by dealing with seemingly casual things.
