How are those young people who rent houses in Beijing doing now?

The new year is approaching. At this time in previous years, the rental market in Beijing has always been oversupplied, and houses are cheap and easy to rent. However, this year, houses are extremely tight, and houses on a famous rental app have to be snatched up. Even the newly renovated first-time rental houses can be sold out within 1 minute after reservations are opened. You can guess the reason without telling me. Although the storm has passed, the impact has just begun to appear. Today I will talk to you about the people and things about renting a house in Beijing.

Intern & Small Dark Room

What is even more unbelievable than the photos of beautiful women are the bedroom photos of the rental app

The monthly salary of a 21-year-old female intern is 4K

The fledgling Xiaobai is very ambitious and vows to establish a firm foothold in Beijing and impress her parents who urge her to return to her hometown to take the civil service exam. But when the agent led her into a dark old-fashioned building in Shuangjing, she immediately wanted to go home to find her mother. The single bedroom that looked like IKEA style on the Internet has turned into a peeling wall with narrow partitions. The distance between the bed and the wall is less than half a meter, and even the door cannot be opened fully. "Isn't this different from the photos you have online?" Xiaobai asked, "That room has long been gone, only this one is left, and you don't even look at the area. Can you rent a single room on Qingnian Road for 1,400? "Xiaobai was so angry that he turned around and left. He will never look for a house on this app again. He has no integrity at all!

However, after looking at the house for half a month, Xiaobai finally bowed to money and rented a small dark room similar to the house he first looked at: there were no windows and the air was full of dust. The smell, there is no light without turning on the light. He had never seen such complete darkness and never craved sunlight so much. Whenever the door to the balcony partition opposite opens and the golden sunlight shines on her face, she always feels a sense of redemption.

Fortunately, this kind of life did not last long. Half a year later, Xiaobai finally moved out of there. The newly rented house had a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Before Kiki was blocked at the door of the bedroom by an agent in his pajamas with his roommate, he had never felt that being away from home was a difficult thing. The ferocious-looking middle-aged man yelled at the two thinly-clad girls: "Who asked you to live here? Take out the rental contract!" Kiki's first reaction was to tell the man to get out. The other party had already expected it. They pressed against the door and shouted: "What are you pushing for? If I can't get a contract, you guys will move out today!"

They spent 2,800 to sublet the house with the previous tenant, and there was no contract at all. . "It was a friend who let us stay here. The contract is with him!" The roommate came up with an idea and made up an excuse. "You can't move in without a contract. You have to move out today, otherwise I will bring someone to clean the room tomorrow!" The agent said viciously and finally left. Kiki stood at the door of the bedroom. After enduring for a long time, she finally broke down and cried.

Later, the roommate contacted the subtenant and negotiated with the agency for a long time before agreeing to extend the lease period for three days. In these three days, the agent took people to see the house every day. Regardless of whether they were at home or not, the bedroom door would be opened directly for people to visit. What's more, after viewing the house, they criticized their room for not being tidy enough. Kiki wanted to get angry, but her roommate dissuaded her by saying, "I will move out tomorrow, just bear with it."

Three days later, Kiki moved to the company dormitory, and her roommate went to live with her cousin. This experience made them completely discouraged about renting a house.

Five years after graduation & the landlord broke the contract

Once things get a little too good, the landlord will think that you are laughing at him and he can’t carry the knife

Xiao Ming, a 27-year-old foreign company manager Monthly salary 18K

Xiao Ming recently got a promotion and a salary increase, his love affair was successful, he paid off a loan and bought a new car, his career is going smoothly and he is happy in love. It can be said that he is in the golden age of his life. However, just now, the landlord said: "Move before the end of the month, the house will be repossessed", which turned his gold into bronze overnight. The landlord didn't even give a reason. The house belonged to others and it was only natural to take it back. The reason? Doesn't exist.

Misfortune never comes alone. That night, the girlfriend I was dating called and cried: "The landlord wants to raise the rent by 500 yuan at a time. It's so inhumane. Otherwise, how about I move to your place~" Xiao Ming struggled for a long time and finally didn't tell the truth. He could only The cold reply: "It's not good, I'm not ready for the two of us to be tired of being together every day, and we have no privacy." The other party was silent for a moment, then hung up the phone with a beep.

Xiao Ming began to feel annoyed. When he rented this one-bedroom apartment in the North Fourth Ring Road with a monthly rent of 5,500, he thought that after many years of hard work, he finally had his own space in this city. He never thought that others would just rent it. With just one sentence, his life could be shaken up again.

Whether you are an intern who has not graduated or a veteran who has worked for many years, as soon as you rent an apartment, you will become a fat little lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The intermediary can be cheated, the second landlord can give you a knife, and the rental website can also take advantage of it. Every one and a half years, it allows you to put aside the prosperity of the world, re-examine the path of life, and demonstrate with strength "How proud can I be and how vulnerable I am?"

Comparing the rental-to-income ratios in popular cities, cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are all extremely burdensome, with Beijing even reaching 0.54. It can only be said that renters in Beijing are real warriors.

2. The rental market is not standardized

Due to the imperfection of relevant laws and regulations, the interests of renters cannot be guaranteed, and the market is flooded with a large number of illegal intermediaries. These intermediary companies have no fixed names. , if reported, immediately change the company name and reopen. In order to attract tenants, agents often post pictures of beautifully decorated houses on their websites, attract customers with low prices, and then show them shabby rooms. Non-refundable deposits have become an unspoken rule. Some tenants who have rented multiple houses have become accustomed to this. "They never expected to get their deposits back. Even if they can be refunded, most of them will be deducted in various ways in the end."

3. Renters have poor awareness of rights protection

Based on the principle of “one less thing is worse than one more thing”, most renters do not choose to protect their rights and interests after being cheated. Firstly, the road to safeguarding rights is not easy. Secondly, work and life are stressful. It is not easy to live well now. No one wants to cause trouble again. But it is this idea that makes black intermediaries more emboldened.
