How to rent a house without being cheated?

Many people think that renting a house is a simple matter. Just pay the rent and sign a contract. In fact, in recent years, incidents such as the explosion of long-term rental apartments and the second landlord running away have been frequently exposed. Many renters have suffered losses in their rights and property, and there are countless "pits" related to renting.

Therefore, we must do a good job before renting a house. So, how can we not be cheated? The following work needs to be done:

First, when looking at the house, be careful and look more.

Many people have this habit. They thought it was love at first sight and were afraid of being slow, so they signed the contract. As a result, I didn't observe it carefully Later, when I checked in, I found many problems. So, don't rent when your mind is hot, look around, at least three, and then decide after comprehensive comparison.

Check the purpose of the house, and then check it carefully according to the following three points:

Look at the lighting: it is best to look at the house during the day. If you go during the day, you can check whether the lights of the house are bright and the house is ventilated without turning on the light. Check furniture: check tables, chairs, wardrobes, bed boards, cabinets, etc. The damage to the house is too serious. Is there any furniture that can't be used? Can the door be unlocked normally? Can the cat's eye be used normally? Check electrical appliances: check whether the lights at home can be used normally. If there are air conditioners, washing machines and other electrical appliances, check whether they are damaged, whether the air conditioners can cool, and whether the circuit instruments are working normally. Don't dwell on these small details, but do it. When my friend rented a house some time ago, the room rate included the use fee of air conditioner and washing machine (a little higher than other room rates), thinking that they were all very easy to use. As a result, the air conditioner can't be cooled after check-in, and the washing machine can't wash clothes normally, which is obviously a pit.

Second, after determining the lease, discuss the signing date, and then the highlight of fraud prevention-paying the deposit and signing the contract.

First of all, ask the landlord to show his real estate license and ID card to prove that he is the owner (not to cheat the rent). Some friends will put this step into the signing stage, but in my experience, this step is best before paying the deposit. If it is an intermediary, it is best to look at the intermediary brother's ID card and work permit.

Let's talk about the down payment first. Don't pay too much down payment. The intermediate price negotiated by two people. If you pay too much at one time, it will be difficult to deal with subsequent problems.

Let's talk about signing a contract. Freshly graduated college students sometimes have short faces, and sometimes even sloppy, and simply don't sign contracts. This situation is definitely unacceptable. If you don't sign the contract and there is no black and white constraint, the landlord can let you go in minutes.

At the same time, ask the other party for copies of various documents, such as the landlord's real estate license and ID card. If you don't provide it or don't provide it, don't rent it!

Third, finally, read the contract carefully.

Signing a contract is very important. Don't just sign someone else's name. You must read one by one and read it carefully.

It should be noted that the responsibilities and wishes agreed by both parties must be written in the contract. If it is an oral promise, there is no witness and no recording, it doesn't count. Do it if you want, and say it if there is no evidence.

To say the least, if you really encounter problems, don't be afraid. You can defend your rights:

Collect key evidence, such as lease contract, communication record, telephone recording, house viewing video, etc. , and call 1 10 to report. You can also complain to the housing and construction department and the mayor's hotline 12345, which will be properly handled under normal circumstances. If all the above schemes fail, you can also choose to defend your rights through legal proceedings.
