What should I pay attention to when renting a house?

When renting a house, you may encounter the following unreasonable behaviors of the owner:

1. Falsely report the housing area or decoration quality to increase the rent.

2. Refusing to provide a rental contract, or using illegal clauses such as increasing property fees and compulsory prepaid rent in the contract.

3. The rent deposit is deducted without reason, or the rent deposit is not returned in time after the lease term expires.

4. Violate the commitments or rights and obligations agreed in the contract, such as changing the use of the house without authorization and collecting unreasonable repair expenses.

Under the above circumstances, the following measures can be taken:

1. Before signing the contract, the owner is required to provide the house ownership certificate, house delivery status, lease contract and other documents.

2. Read the contents of the contract carefully, and pay special attention to the illegal clauses. If you have any questions, please answer them clearly.

3. Ask about the provisions of the deposit, keep the receipt properly in time, and ask for a reasonable refund after the lease expires.

4. In case of disputes, defend rights in time, keep evidence and complain to relevant departments, such as property management department, housing management department and police station.

The most important thing is to fully investigate the housing before renting a house, learn as much as possible about the owner's situation and avoid unnecessary trouble.
