Renting a house meets a bad landlord. Let's talk about what to do.

If some hardware facilities are damaged and not replaced and the rental deposit is not refundable, you can try to communicate with the landlord first. You can put facts and reason. For example, when you check in, take out a list of items at home to prove that all facilities are in good condition, even if there are problems, it is the best persuasion.

There is also the case that the rental deposit is not refundable. You can also communicate with the landlord first, what is the reason for not refunding, and what is the standard for deducting fees. Through communication between the two parties, if the expenses can be borne within an affordable range, then digest them and solve things perfectly.

2. If negotiation fails, take out the lease contract as the basis.

You must sign a contract to rent a house, stating the expenses incurred and the conditions for checking out. The contract must specify the fees to be paid for the house, the conditions for returning the house, and the increase during the lease period. If the bad landlord puts forward some unreasonable behaviors such as confiscation of the deposit, then you can take out the contract and let the other party perform it according to the specific terms.

Both parties must fulfill the spirit of the contract. So the pre-lease contract is very important. It is the basis of negotiation between the two sides and the effective evidence of resorting to law.

3. Complain to relevant departments or call the police.

If the two parties fail to negotiate privately, the landlord will deduct the deposit without authorization, terminate the lease contract, and even ignore the spirit of the contract. Suggest alarm handling. If there is strong evidence, I believe the relevant departments will give you a reasonable ruling.

Usually keep the lease contract, payment documents, chat records, oral recordings, etc. These evidences are also the key to safeguarding rights in future disputes. If the landlord has caused you great losses, you must sue the other party and fight for your reasonable rights and interests. As long as it involves the landlord's breach of contract, then we as tenants have the right to claim compensation.
