Are there any particularly useful renting strategies or skills?

If you enter "rental strategy" or similar keywords on Baidu, you can find many results, including "the most comprehensive in history" and "blood and tears summary" and so on. However, if you look carefully, most of these strategies are the same, full of details, but they can't help you.

Some raiders do everything carefully, with good lighting, good floors and lots. Considering everything, they just need to sign the contract for you directly. However, when you really rent a house, you find that you have so many choices, so thank God you can rent a house close to the company and the price is right. There is no perfect house mentioned in the raiders, and even if there is, you can't afford it.

Some raiders are simply a drama course, teaching you how to fight against the intermediary and the landlord. However, the actual situation is ever-changing, and drama is also talented. Not everyone can talk to the agent and the landlord. It's easier said than done. Both the agent and the landlord have been through many battles, and you are a rookie. The so-called skills in the raiders are difficult to apply.

Raiders read one article after another, and each one felt very reasonable. I forgot after reading it. As a result, renting a house is still so difficult.

To really make renting a house easier, don't indulge in those long-winded details, or think backwards!

We should not always consider how to choose a better one from the limited choices, but should broaden our choices. Of course, when we say to broaden our choices, we don't mean to lower our requirements, but to change our thinking.

In fact, the idea is simple: (but this idea only applies to friends who share a room)

Find a roommate first, then a house.

(1) Why?

There are two ways to rent houses with more than two bedrooms: complete rental and single-room rental.

For example, a 3-bedroom apartment with a monthly rent of 3,000 yuan is rented out at one time, which is called a complete set of rental; Rent it in three times 1 room, 1000 yuan/month, and rent it to three people respectively. This is called single room rental.

The current situation of the rental market in China is that the number of complete sets of rental is far more than that of single rooms, whether it is intermediary or individual housing.

In other words, if you go to share the rent alone, you can only choose these single-room rental houses, and single-room rental houses are only a small part of the rental market, and your choices are severely limited.

If you find a roommate first and rent a 2-room or 3-room apartment with the roommate you find, your choice will be greatly increased.

Answer a few questions:

1. Is it true that the whole set of rented houses is much more than the single room?

If you don't believe me, you can go to the same city or chain home to see how many houses have been rented out in a certain district of a certain city and how many houses have been rented out in a single room.

2. Why is this happening?

For the agent of the intermediary, the whole rent is directly rented by the landlord, and many single rooms are rented by the second landlord, or single rooms need to be subletted. In these cases, the chain of leasing and interest relationship is longer than that of direct leasing, and there are more links that may cause problems, which makes it very troublesome for intermediaries to handle. In addition, the transaction price of a single room is low, and the income obtained by the intermediary is also low.

The same is true for individual houses. Individual landlords have to go to work, and it is more troublesome to rent out one room at a time. Everyone rents it out at one time, saving time and effort.

Therefore, finding a roommate first can completely increase the number of your rental options by at least one order of magnitude. In addition, this method has more advantages:

1. Besides the house, roommates are an important part of common life. It's really hard to work hard in a big city. I see roommates every day. A compatible roommate can greatly improve his quality of life, and a wonderful roommate can make him fidget after work (students who have never experienced a wonderful roommate suggest that Baidu rent a wonderful roommate and see the blood and tears of others). Instead of being randomly assigned roommates when renting a house, it is better to take the initiative to find a small partner to have fun. Isn't it beautiful?

Roommates can help each other when looking for a house. If you work in a strange big city and you have no friends, you will be particularly helpless when you face such troubles alone.

But if you find a roommate first, you can:

Help and share with each other: * * Looking at the house, carrying luggage, etc.

* * * Defend your rights and interests in the face of landlords and intermediaries.

Maybe we can use the advantage of numbers to bargain.

Can you really avoid finding a great roommate by taking the initiative to find a roommate? I dare not say 100%, but the probability of meeting a very good roommate will be much smaller. There are two reasons. The first is that there will be many opportunities to communicate with each other in the process of actively looking for roommates. In this process, you will get to know each other to some extent, and you can avoid some great roommates. The second is that Qiqi roommates generally don't come to find roommates specially. Anyway, it's Kiki, and I'm not afraid to spend time with anyone. Qiqi and lazy people generally don't spend that time and energy looking for roommates. )

(2) What should I do?

Seeing someone here, I might say: nonsense, if I have acquaintances, I will definitely share the rent together. Isn't that because I can't find the right person?

Indeed, the premise of finding a roommate first is that the living area and rent level of both parties must be consistent, and there may be differences between the requirements of the two parties for the house and their own living habits.

At present, there are no good products to find roommates in the market, so we have to settle for the second best, and find roommates in WeChat group, QQ group, Weibo, Post Bar and Douban. Publish your own requirements, or check the requirements published by others to see if there are any suitable ones in all aspects, and then talk about it. It will be much better to find a roommate than to choose a roommate at random.

Because WeChat group can't be searched, it will be more difficult to find a rented WeChat group. You can add WeChat: no4clxr? , the other party will pull you into the group, major cities across the country.

QQ group can directly search for the keyword "city+rental" and the results will come out. Some groups need to pay, ranging from a few cents to a few dollars. After joining, the system will give you a refund within five minutes. But overall, the quality of QQ rental group is not as high as WeChat.

If you are in Weibo, you can post Weibo on the topic of # Renting # # Sharing # (City) Renting # # (City) Sharing #, or go to these topics to see the information released by others;

Post in the post bar, such as renting, sharing, sharing (city) and so on. (Except for the rental bar in Beijing, it is independent, and all other cities+rental bars have been merged into the rental bar. )

Douban posts in groups related to renting houses or browses other people's posts.

Of course, because these methods are not specially prepared for renting houses, it takes some time and energy to actually operate, but finding a suitable house and roommate is related to a better life in the future, and this effort is nothing. There is no absolute shortcut to renting a house. We need to pay attention to it, either by paying time and energy or by paying money. I choose to spend time and energy without spending money.

Graduates, in particular, should not wait until there is no place to live immediately before renting. On the one hand, many graduates have no relevant experience, and it is easy to be pitted if they are anxious to find a house. On the other hand, the graduation season is the peak of renting, which not only makes renting more difficult, but also may lead to an increase in rent. It takes some time to prepare in advance to get twice the result with half the effort.

This is what we are going to talk about today. If you think it makes sense, let's start by finding a roommate! As for many details and skills summarized in other raiders, let's leave them in future articles.

I wish you all find a suitable roommate and house!
