Do I need to change the lock after renting a house?

You need to change the lock cylinder when renting a house. Changing the lock is equivalent to putting a lock on your personal safety and property safety. If the tenant doesn't change the lock, the old lock may be left out in the cold. For example, the landlord once rented the house to others, and the former tenant may still have the key. Changing the lock can avoid unnecessary disputes. If you don't change the lock, the landlord usually keeps the key. Once the house is stolen, the landlord with the key is the first suspect, which will inevitably lead to doubts about the landlord.

What should I pay attention to when renting a house?

1. Generally speaking, the rent of houses with good location and convenient transportation is relatively expensive, and the cheap ones are basically remote places, or the houses are dilapidated and the facilities inside are in disrepair. Tenants need to make a good choice when choosing a house, whether they want to spend less or live better. However, for girls, for safety reasons, try not to choose a sparsely populated place.

Second, if you don't want to find a house through an intermediary, you'd better not believe the small advertisements on telephone poles, which are usually posted by an intermediary. There are still many criminals who are opportunistic. Maybe a small advertisement is a scam. If you want to find a house through an intermediary, I suggest you choose a formal intermediary, and the reliability of the house will be higher.

3. After buying a house, if you decide to rent it, you must ask the landlord to issue relevant materials that can prove that you can rent the house, such as real estate license and your own identity documents. To prevent the house from being rented out by the tenant for the second time, if the landlord refuses to admit it at that time, it will be a loss of wife and a loss of soldiers.

Fourth, no matter how perfect the house in the photo is, we should make a field trip. Remember to check the water and electricity meter to avoid paying unnecessary fees. Check whether the line is aging and whether the things that need to be paid after damage are in good condition, otherwise the landlord will not refund the deposit. If the problem is discovered after renting a house, the landlord may push it completely.

5. Some beautiful and particularly cheap houses on the rental APP are generally fake houses to attract more people. Usually you will be asked to add his/her WeChat. These must not be believed. If it is true, you should go to the field to see the house. Don't look at the house alone, you need company.

After you decide to rent a house, you must sign a contract. In the contract, it is necessary to specify the details of renting time, rent, water and electricity charges, and how to pay property fees. The more detailed, the better, so as to better protect their rights and interests.
