Those routines of the black intermediary

Those routines of the black intermediary

The real estate agency industry is mixed. Generally, large-scale intermediary companies are more reliable, but the agency fee is higher. Therefore, many people will choose some smaller intermediaries in order to save money, but they are likely to accidentally meet black intermediaries. I have rented it for many years. Let me talk about the routine of black intermediary:

1, unwilling to contact the landlord before seeing the house.

Before taking you to see the house, the intermediary will usually take the initiative to contact the landlord, let the landlord open the door or let the landlord prepare the materials. If the tenant looks at the house, he can sign the contract directly. But if the intermediary is unwilling to contact the landlord, it means that there may be problems with the house itself. You should pay attention to this and be alert.

Let me show you the poor house first.

Most agents will show you a better house before showing you the house, so that you can save time when you see a good house. The "black-hearted" intermediary will show you the bad house first, and then give you a good view of the house, which is to deliberately create a psychological gap and raise the rent. In this case, don't worry, look more and compare, and consider renting or not in combination with the advantages and disadvantages of the house.

3. Let you pay the deposit first

The inherent words of the "dirty" intermediary: many people like this house very much. If you want to rent it, you should pay a deposit first. This kind of talk can often cheat a lot of rent for nothing. If he says so, you must think it over. If many people like it, why haven't they rented it out yet? In this case, never pay a deposit. If he runs away, you won't even get the money back.

4. Stealing the concept of payment items.

For example, 500 yuan for property sanitation heating actually refers to 500 yuan for property sanitation heating. Remember, all expenses other than rent must be negotiated with the intermediary and landlord in advance.

5. Cheat you into signing a contract at a rent lower than the market price.

Then use various means to blackmail you to increase your money, what's more, it will deliberately create trouble for you and force you to withdraw your rent in order to defraud the rent deposit. In this case, keep the house lease contract and your chat records and call the police directly.
