What details should I pay attention to when talking with the intermediary about renting a house?

I have accumulated a little experience in renting a house for many years. If I ask, I can avoid breaking my leg. If I am lucky enough to find a personal house, I 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 intermediary must ask the following questions:

1? Is the house still there? Be sure to ask again before going to see the house. At the gate of the community, many houses are rented. Haha, what a coincidence. )

2? What is the real price? (Intermediary bidding false price drainage)

3? Can I rent it for a long time? (The price is right, but it's just short rent, one of the intermediary traps)

4? Is this the discount for the first month? The price is true, but the real price in the first month is still a trap.

5? Do you have any pictures of the kitchen and bathroom? (Maybe I didn't hang up because it was too bad, so I saved a house by looking at the picture in advance. )

6? And pay attention to whether it is near the road. It's noisy near the road (if you can still hear the traffic outside with the windows closed during the day, you can't sleep at night)

Anti-fraud guide to renting a house from an intermediary

First-hand housing is too difficult to find, and many people usually find an intermediary to rent a house for convenience. However, there are many "black-hearted" intermediaries who are very unfriendly to the student party that has just set foot on the society.

I have encountered several big pits when renting a house by myself. Here I share it with you to help you avoid cheating me!

1? When the agent shows you the house, all the agreements will be signed for you. Don't even think about it Don't sign anything! Why? Because the terms of this agreement are often to restrict you from trading with other intermediaries, but generally you can't see it. If you sign, then if you see the house in another agency and clinch a deal, the agency that signed the agreement with you will ask you for compensation according to the agreement!

2? Some intermediaries will ask you for an intermediary fee of 50% of the rent, saying that this is a unified regulation of the industry. Note that at this time, you can check online or directly call the local price department or the housing and construction department to ask about the agency fee charging standard in your place.

3? The price offered by the intermediary has at least 10%-20% bargaining space. After reading it, you must try your best to find fault with the house, say that you have other choices and don't worry, and then lower the price!

The agent said that the house is very tight and asked you to pay a deposit to help you keep the house. Don't hand it in! !

4? Everyone is looking for a house, try to find a first-hand housing, if you have to find an intermediary, you must pay attention to these people's problems!

The secret of agency fee

Agency fee has always been a controversial matter and is considered to be worthless. Let's discuss whether the agency fee is worth it today.

First of all, regarding the agency fee, as far as renting is concerned, the agency fee is half of the first month's rent? There is no charge for formal intermediary companies to provide housing and show you the house. Do I have to pay an agency fee after signing the contract?

Health expenses, disinfection expenses, maintenance expenses ... and messy expenses? Some don't charge agency fees, and the monthly service fee and health fee are even more expensive than agency fees.

? What should the intermediary do?

Housing: some large intermediary platforms can provide us with a large number of housing, and let us know the basic information of this house online with standardized structured information.

Without this information, we will get very few houses, maybe only 58 (too many scammers), community bulletin boards (maybe we can't find a few in N communities) and qq groups.

But we should know that the seller entrusts the house to the intermediary without paying the fee, provided that the transaction is completed. Therefore, many sellers are willing to hang their houses in intermediary companies, so that customers have a wide range of sources and are guaranteed.

Match and have a look at the housing: housing screening costs, and the houses seen on the platform may not meet your needs? You and the broker express your demands, and he can recommend the houses that best meet your demands, which greatly saves the screening cost and some time. And a quick tour will help you arrange time, contact the landlord and tenant at that time, and see the house on the spot.

Communication cost: I think everyone wants to rent a favorite house at a lower price.

The broker can help you negotiate with the landlord. If you want the landlord to rent directly, you should not only find the landlord first, but also spend time communicating with the landlord. The broker can also help you cut off some rents and the corresponding starting date (cutting off 100 a year means saving 1200).

After the rent is settled, the contract needs to be prepared: after the rent is settled, the broker will start to check whether there is any problem with the hardware equipment (washing machine, electric light, refrigerator, air conditioner, etc.) of the house. ), and all the furniture, large and small, will be checked before handing over the house to the tenant. If there is any damage before, the landlord will be responsible for repairing and replacing it. Take payment as an example. If both parties agree, they can pay a deposit or complete the house handover on site.

After reading these, do you still think 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 agent, and there's no place to chase it. The choice is in your own hands.

Must pay attention to these problems when signing a rental contract with an intermediary?

1? If you sign a contract with an intermediary, you must look at the authorization contract between the landlord and the intermediary. Only when the landlord grants the right to the intermediary can the intermediary have the right to sign a contract with the tenant, otherwise the contract will be invalid.

2? The lease contract shall include a description of the decoration, accessories, facilities and equipment of the leased house. If there is no such appendage, the family must explain to the intermediary or landlord to avoid the landlord asserting that the original furniture is gone when the rent is returned.
