What should I do if I rent without a contract and don't pay the rent?

At present, China's housing rental demand is huge, and the rental market is lagging behind. Disputes about housing lease can be said to be common, among which the tenant's failure to pay rent is a common one. Moreover, due to some people's weak legal awareness, they did not sign a lease contract when doing lease transactions, which made it more difficult to defend their rights. What if there is no contract to rent a house?

Many owners want to know whether the owner or the property management office has the right to stop water and electricity, or take back the house by changing the lock before the tenant moves out. In fact, there is no legal basis for this practice. If you want to urge tenants to pay rent in full and on time, you need to protect your legitimate rights and interests through formal channels, and lessors can also protect their rights through various channels.

Entrusted by the owner, the management office rents and manages the house on behalf of the owner. According to the contract signed between the owner and the lessee, if the lessee fails to pay the rent on time, the owner can stop water and electricity and take back the house. When renting a house, the lessee has already seen the surrounding environment. Then the construction site began to harass her. She can complain to the relevant government departments. There is no clause in the contract indicating that the owner will reduce the rent if the external environment of the house changes.

Do owners or intermediary property agents have the right to change locks when water and electricity are cut off? No matter the owner or the intermediary agency or property management office in agent for owner, they have no right to cut off water and electricity for the rented house. It is illegal to force the lessee to pay the house rent by means of water and electricity. It is an extreme behavior for the owner or intermediary or the property management office to change the lock privately. When the owner signs a contract with the lessee, it cannot be forcibly agreed in violation of national laws and regulations. If it is violated, it is an invalid clause. In case of the above incidents, the lessee may complain to the sub-district office for rights protection and terminate the contract through legal channels such as negotiation, mediation and arbitration.

When the contract expires, the lessor has the right not to rent the house or to raise the rent appropriately, and the lessee's current behavior has violated the legitimate rights and interests of the lessor. The lessor may also bring a civil lawsuit to the local people's court, asking the other party to return the house, pay the house rent since the expiration of the contract and compensate the corresponding losses. Generally, it will not take more than two months to reach the court.

Through the above introduction, the landlord should be clear that such disputes should be resolved through two ways: the first is to negotiate according to the breach of contract. Second, when the negotiation is unsuccessful and the problem cannot be solved, the dispute should be solved through legal proceedings.
