What should I pay attention to when renting an easy-to-live apartment?

1, you must remember that the landlord is not your friend, but your enemy. Don't let your guard down just because he/she smiles kindly at you. He/she is friendly to you now only because you can bring him/her benefits. I want to know the real attitude of the landlord towards you, and I'll know when you check out and move out.

2. Don't rent the house of friends or acquaintances. Renting a house of friends and acquaintances may be convenient and reassuring at first, but after a long time, it will definitely affect feelings. You can borrow a friend's house, but you must not rent a friend's house

3. Before signing the contract, the landlord should be required to provide the real estate license and ID card, and provide the original household registration book if necessary to prevent fraud. Someone advertised to rent a house when it was about to expire, claiming to be the landlord. After defrauding the rent, he ran away. Half a month later, the real landlord appeared. At this time, the person who was cheated only cried. There are also cases where illegal intermediaries with black hearts cheat people with similar tricks. If the house is rented through an intermediary, his/her business license shall prevail.

Before moving in, you should check the facilities, furniture and electrical appliances of the house. Accompanied by the landlord, make sure these things are intact. If it is incomplete, it should be indicated in the contract. Be as detailed as possible in the contract. Don't be afraid of trouble. If you have a little trouble now, you will save a lot of trouble in the future.

5. Be sure to settle accounts with the landlord. Don't pretend to be generous. If you give money to the landlord, he/she won't accept your kindness. Before you check in, you should explain who should pay for the replacement of natural consumption items. For example, fluorescent tubes, who will pay for the replacement if they are worn out, should be explained in advance, and it is best to make it clear in the contract.

6. As for the payment method, only 3 1 or 2 1 is considered, and 3/3 is completely ignored. Paying 1 for three times means paying the rent for the first time, having sex for three months at a time, and adding 1 month rent as a deposit is ***4 months rent. Everything else is the same. The less one-time payment, the better.

7. If you add new facilities after check-in, such as installing ADSL at your own expense in the name of the landlord (generally, the telephone is the landlord's, so you should use his name), you must declare in writing that you paid for it yourself. Otherwise, when you move out, he may say that he paid for the installation of ADSL. If you hadn't left written evidence, there was nothing you could do with him.

8. If the economy permits, it is recommended to install your own phone instead of the landlord's original phone, which can save a lot of trouble. The landlord's own phone can make him remove or stop. It's not expensive to install a new mobile phone now. In order to save so much trouble, the money is well spent.

9. If you plan to move out, be aware that the landlord may do everything possible not to refund or underpay your deposit. Possible tricks include: if the landlord gave you two sets of keys at the beginning, if you can only return one set to him/her if you lose it, then he/she may not refund the deposit on this ground; His/her broken washing machine dehydration barrel suddenly doesn't work, and he/she may have to deduct the repair fee, which may be over, although your savings can buy two washing machines. There are many possibilities. In short, don't let the landlord find fault with you.

10, whether you move in or out, you must copy the water meter, or someone will move in immediately after moving out. How was the water and electricity bill that month? The landlord will probably put it on you and deduct it from your deposit.

1 1, when you move, there will definitely be some things that you can't take away, such as old clothes and old wardrobes, and at least some sundries will be left, such as wine bottles and plastic bottles. Never leave it with the landlord, he/she will never remember your kindness, but will think it is helping you clean up the garbage. You should take those things to the garbage collector downstairs. They will remember you. If there is no garbage collector, put it next to the trash can, and someone will collect it soon. There are many people in this world who are not very well off economically. They need those things. The above precautions apply to single rent, and shared rent is basically applicable, but shared rent is somewhat different from single rent, which is extremely troublesome.

Look at the house on the spot

When renting a house, you should look at the house on the spot, including apartment type, lighting, surrounding traffic conditions and surrounding facilities. The most important thing is to see whether the daily facilities such as water, electricity and toilets are in good condition. If you meet the landlord directly, you should ask the landlord to show your real estate license to avoid being cheated.

Calculate transportation and time costs

Convenient transportation is the key to renting. Downtown is full of land and gold, and the rental price of houses is unbearable for college graduates who have just set foot in the workplace. However, if you choose a remote area, inconvenient transportation will increase the cost of living. Therefore, it is best for graduates to choose to change buses in rental houses near bus stops and far away from work places, otherwise the cost of commuting time is too high. If rail transit is chosen as the main mode of travel, the cost will increase to a certain extent. For graduates, the best way is to change a bus to rail transit, so that commuting time and transportation costs can be balanced.

Pay attention to the details when signing a contract.

When signing a lease contract, we must distinguish the rights and obligations of both parties to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future. It is necessary to ask how to pay the rent, utilities, cable TV and so on. When to pay the rent every month, negotiate property management and share the water and electricity costs. Who will bear the responsibility for the maintenance of non-man-made housing facilities, and how to claim compensation if the landlord cancels the contract in advance.

Handover procedures/formalities

Be sure to make clear the handover procedures with the landlord before moving in, such as whether the previous utilities and property fees have been paid, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future. At the same time, the landlord is required to check household items in person, such as how many chairs there are and where a corner of furniture is missing, which should be recorded and signed by the landlord; Confirm the specific figures of water meter and electricity meter with the landlord, find out whether the former tenant has settled the telephone bill, and check carefully when deducting money to avoid paying for others.

Shared object

Choosing college graduates to rent a house is mostly shared, and you can't choose a shared object at will. It is suggested that graduates had better choose to share with classmates or acquaintances. For girls, don't rent without fully understanding the co-tenant or the content of the co-tenant advertisement. If you share a house with someone you don't know before, you must leave a copy of your ID card, work permit and contact number with each other to reduce unnecessary economic disputes.

Beware of the second landlord

Beware of "second-hand landlords" renting houses. At present, the phenomenon of the second landlord in the leasing market has become quite common. Legally speaking, if the second landlord sublets the leased house, it must obtain the consent or commitment of the original owner, otherwise it will be invalid. Therefore, college graduates can ask to see the lease contract signed by the second landlord and the original owner. In addition, the termination date of the sublease contract shall not exceed the termination date agreed in the original lease contract, otherwise the lessee will bear greater risks.
