What details must we pay attention to when negotiating with an agent about renting a house?

A little bit of experience accumulated over many years of renting a house, you can avoid running out of business by asking. If you are lucky enough to find a personal apartment, you can avoid these routines. The individual landlord is afraid of delaying the time of both parties and will explain the problem clearly in advance. , but the agent must ask the following questions:

1? Is the house still there? (Be sure to ask before you go to see a house. Many houses are rented as soon as you arrive at the gate of the community. Haha, what a coincidence)

2? What is the real price? (The intermediary marked fake prices to attract traffic)

3? Can I rent it for a long time? (The price is real, but it can only be rented for short periods, which is one of the intermediary traps)

4? Is there a first-month discount? (The price is real, but the real price in the first month is still a trap)

5? Do you have pictures of the kitchen and toilet? (Maybe it was not put up because it was too bad. If you look at the pictures in advance, you will save yourself a house inspection)

6? Also, pay attention to whether it is close to the road. It's very noisy next to the road (if you close the windows during the day and hear the traffic outside, you won't be able to sleep at night)

An anti-fraud guide when renting a house through an agent

First-hand housing is too difficult to find, and many people For convenience, you will usually find an agent to rent a house. But there are really a lot of unscrupulous intermediaries, which is very unfriendly to students who are new to society.

I encountered several big pitfalls when I rented a house from an agency. I would like to share them with you to help you avoid pitfalls!

1? When an intermediary takes you to see a house, don’t sign any agreement for you. Don’t even think about it! Why? Because the terms of this agreement often restrict your transactions with other intermediaries, but Usually you can't tell. If you sign, then if you see a house with another agent and the deal is completed, the agent with whom you signed the agreement will ask you for compensation according to the agreement!

2? Some agents will ask you They asked for an agency fee of 50 RMB for the rent, saying this was a unified industry regulation. Note that at this time, you can check online or directly call the local price department or housing and construction department to ask the agency fee standards in your location.

3? The price given by the agency always has at least 10-20% room for negotiation. After viewing the house, you must try your best to find faults with the house, say that you have other choices and are not in a hurry, and then lower the price!

The agent said that houses are in short supply and asked you to pay a deposit first to reserve a house for you. Don’t pay!!

4? When looking for a house, try to find first-hand housing. If you have to find an agent, be sure to pay attention to these people!

The secret of agency fees

Agency fees have always been a controversial issue for everyone. They think they are not worth it. Today we will discuss whether the agency fees are worth it? First of all, regarding agency fees, when it comes to renting a house, agency fees are the first one. Half of the monthly rent? Regular intermediary companies provide housing and show you houses for free. Do you need to pay agency fees only after signing the contract for the house you have chosen? What about sanitation fees, disinfection fees, maintenance fees... and other miscellaneous fees? Some do not charge agency fees, plus the monthly service fee and sanitation fees are worth up to 7,788 yuan. Even more expensive than agency fees.

What exactly do intermediaries do? Housing supply: Some larger intermediary platforms can provide us with a large number of housing resources, and use standardized structured information to let us understand the basic information of this house online. Without this information, the houses we get are very few and may only be 58 (there are many scammers), community bulletin boards (maybe we can’t find a few after running through n communities), and QQ groups. But we need to know that the seller does not need to pay a fee for entrusting the house to an agent, only when the transaction is completed. Therefore, many sellers are willing to list their houses with intermediary companies, so that they can have a wide range of customers and have the security of house matching and viewing: house screening costs money, and the houses you see on the platform may not necessarily meet your needs? You and the agent Express your demands, and he can recommend to you the housing that best meets your demands, which greatly saves screening costs and some time. In addition, he will help you arrange the time for showings and contact the landlord and the current tenant. On-site viewing. Communication cost: I think everyone wants to rent the house they like at a lower price.

An agent can help you negotiate with the landlord. If you want to rent directly from the landlord, you not only need to find the landlord first, but also spend time communicating with the landlord. The agent can also help you cut some rent and the corresponding rent start date (cutting off 100 a year means saving 1,200). After the rental agreement is negotiated, a contract needs to be prepared: After the negotiation is completed, the agent will start to check whether the hardware and equipment of the house are If there is a problem (washing machine, light, refrigerator, air conditioner, etc.), no matter how big or small the furniture is, it will be checked carefully before handing over the room to the tenant. If there is any previous damage, the landlord will be responsible for repairing and replacing it. Taking payment as an example, if both parties agree on the intention, they can pay a deposit or complete the handover of the house on site. After reading this, do you still feel that the agency fee is not worth it at all?

Finally, everyone must find a formal platform when looking for an intermediary. Don’t find a personal intermediary that will run away and have no place to chase. The choice is yours.

When signing a rental contract with an intermediary, you must pay attention to these issues?

1? If you sign a contract with an intermediary, you must see the authorization contract between the landlord and the intermediary. Only the landlord can Only when the right is granted to the intermediary, the intermediary has the right to sign a contract with the tenant, otherwise the contract will be invalid.

2. The rental contract should include a description of the decoration, ancillary items, facilities and equipment of the rented house. If there is no such attachment, the family must provide an explanation to the intermediary or landlord to avoid waiting for the landlord to cancel the lease. He insists that the furniture that was there is no longer there
