How to pay the utilities for renting a house?

1. Check the water meter reading of the original owner's house in advance, report it to the property and check it with the property. If there is a debt, let the original owner make up for it. If there is a surplus, you can give the remaining money to the owner.

2. Go to the power supply station where the house is located and open the power supply certificate. The electronic card follows the house.

3. Check the gas meter and report to the gas company. Gas is usually settled once a month. If there is any debt, the original owner can settle it by himself. The general process is roughly like this. Of course, some things are slightly different due to different regions and communities.

4. Go to the property of the house to settle the property fee and heating fee. Before today, the property fee was settled by the original owner and later by the new house; The heating fee depends on whether the original owner has paid it. If not, it needs a new house to live in.

5. Cable transfer: Both parties go to the cable office where the community is located to handle the transfer, and the cable Commissioner there will tell you whether there is any arrears, and then register the new owner's ID card and UnionPay card after settlement.

What are the precautions for renting and checking out?

1. When the lease expires, you can check out normally:

When the lease is about to expire and it is necessary to check out, the tenant should inform the landlord in advance as agreed in the contract, try his best to restore the original appearance of the house, take the initiative to settle all kinds of expenses, and negotiate with the landlord about the time of moving out. After the final handover of the house with the landlord, the landlord should return the deposit to the tenant and terminate the house lease contract.

2. Clean the room:

Presumably, when you close the house, the landlord still has some of your deposit. If you want to complete the handover smoothly, you'd better clean the room after moving to make the landlord look more comfortable.

3. Communicate with the landlord in time if the room is damaged:

In the process of renting a house, you must inform the landlord in time if you find any problems, so as to avoid putting these damages on yourself when you hand over the house in the future.

4. Pay the property tax bill and leave:

In the process of renting a house, there must be many bills, such as utilities, property fees, elevator operation fees, etc. You'd better put away all these bills and show them to the landlord when handing over the house, so that he can have a good mind.

5. Take back personal belongings mortgaged when renting:

When we rent a house, we must give some of our personal information to the landlord, so when we hand over the house, we must take it back to avoid future troubles.
