How to rent a house quickly and efficiently

After renting a house several times, everyone will become an expert in renting. A man spends a lot of time studying what he understands and the pits he has stepped on. Only he knows, and others will step on it again. It's really a waste.

Out of the motivation of sharing, I wrote out the new skills I have mastered recently: how to rent a house quickly.

Show the results first. It took four days to rent an attic with one room and one living room near the company.

The correct way to rent a house quickly is suitable for this situation:

Want to spend as little time as possible to rent a suitable house.

I want to see the room a few times before I can settle down. I don't want to run errands and wear shoes, but I can't find the right one.

Want to avoid looking for trouble after renting a house

The method is like this, which is divided into five steps:

Step 1: Define Requirements

How many people live?

Approximate position

hire

Price tolerance interval

There are several apartment schemes.

For example, this time I am: one room and one living room loft > Loft > two rooms and one living room; Two rooms

Step 2: Determine the cells

You can see Ding Ding renting a house, determine which community you want to live in, and then find an intermediary near the community to find out whether the apartment type of this community matches the demand.

Step 3: Determine the apartment type.

According to photos, floor plans and experience in viewing houses, determine what kind of floor plan you want and tell the intermediary/find it yourself.

The advantage of determining the apartment type is that if a room type is suitable, but it is not suitable in other aspects (such as lease term), you can find similar houses on different floors of the same building or different buildings. On the other hand, if the apartment is not suitable, there is no need to see something similar.

Step 4: Determine the intermediary

Idy was chosen this time, and the agency fee for one month was 20% off.

Chain home does not charge agency fees, but it seems that there are fewer houses, and it will recommend a house at home.

Love me, love my dog is half of the agency fee, but the agency I contacted is not strong enough to find a suitable house.

I think the criteria for a good intermediary are:

Familiar with the nearby houses

Strong understanding, know what your requirements are.

Strong sense of time, can worry about your time.

Responsible, can help you repair the missing things in the room.

Immediate feedback, whether there is a house, feedback on the same day, so as to do the next step as soon as possible.

See through the lies of the intermediary

There is no apartment you want in this community (maybe he just doesn't have it). If it is an intermediary who charges an intermediary fee, it will recommend a high-priced house for the purpose of overcharging the intermediary fee.)

The agency fee can't be lower (the agency fee seems to be very flexible, although I don't know the bottom line, I feel that I can halve it as much as possible next time)

The tenant has just moved out (in fact, no one has lived for a month)

At the same time, several customers are looking at this property. If you are optimistic, you need to sign it as soon as possible (in fact, several other customers may not be optimistic)

Everything in the house will be repaired for you (you need to ask the intermediary to repair it before signing the contract, otherwise you will have to wait after signing the contract)

In fact, it would be great if we could find someone to sublet, and we would also be free of agency fees. This is how my old house was rented out.

Step 5: Determine the housing.

Communicate with the other party's WeChat first, try to understand the housing through photos, small videos and floor plans, and take the house inspection as the final confirmation rather than the preliminary screening to avoid the fatigue of running the house.

After sorting out the collected information, I will list the things that need attention in renting a house:

1) surrounding environment

Buy groceries

Buy fruit

traffic

supermarket

Food and drink

Quiet?

2) Housing choice

How far is it from the subway station?

Huxing, usable area and storey height

intermediary

Room age

3) expenses

Who will pay the property management fee and heating fee? Generally, the owner pays, otherwise the rent should be low.

Who will pay for the maintenance when the electrical appliance is broken?

Change the lock, cost

Is it an agent housing? Do I have to pay an agency fee every year?

Who did you sign the contract with? Landlord and second landlord

Who pays for utilities, cable TV, closed-circuit TV, internet, etc?

Have all the previous water, gas, electricity, telephone, property, TV and internet fees been settled, and how to pay them?

How long is the lease, rent, rent for three? How much is the agency fee?

4) Equipment and environment

Can you contact the previous tenant and ask about the defect?

Health: Is there a Xiao Qiang?

Kitchen and bathroom: The sewer is easy to block, and the bathroom leaks?

Bedroom: bed size, mattress, wardrobe, desk.

The focus is on the performance of doors and windows, such as security doors, and whether the windows are in good condition.

Try various switches, such as water, electricity, gas, lights, etc.

Some fixed facilities, such as toilets, water heaters (ready-to-use), cookers, range hoods, air conditioners, etc., should be tried when looking at the house. If they are all in normal operation, there should be no problem in careful maintenance in the future. Understand the problems that should be paid attention to when using.

Check whether the electrical and waterway circuits are aging, or whether their design can meet the use of high-power appliances, and whether the water pipes are unobstructed.

5) Bargaining strategy

Asking for price reduction or replenishment on the grounds of insufficient supporting equipment;

When renting a house, you must look at the house carefully and check it in detail. It is best to pick out some faults in renting a house reasonably, which is the capital used for bargaining. Renting a house is the same as buying food. If you want the owner or intermediary to give you a low price, you have to find some reasons to reduce the price. Renting a house must have various shortcomings, such as poor decoration and incomplete configuration of household appliances and furniture. As long as the situation you point out really exists, they are usually willing to make some price reduction as compensation. However, when picking faults, we should not go too far, otherwise it will easily cause the other party's disgust and collapse. Compare the prices of other houses and ask for further price reduction;

Pay attention to the thickness of dust in the room. Haven't you rented out for a long time?

Strive for a longer lease term: As the owner of the house, the landlord is in an advantageous position in the lease relationship. Generally, many landlords only agree to rent for one year, and after the expiration, the rent will increase because the lessee is unwilling to spend time and energy moving. At first, we proposed a two-year lease, and the landlord insisted on signing it once a year. At this time, if you insist, there may not be an ideal result, so you will ask for 15 months rent. It's easy for ordinary people to ask for such a small adjustment, and the final lease term is 14 months.

Take the initiative and strive for preferential space

Whether it is a landlord or a real estate agent, when renting a house, what they want most is to rent out the house in the shortest time and minimize the vacant time of the rented house, so as to obtain better rental income. When tenants look at the house, as long as the house basically meets their living needs, there is no need to be too picky. After all, it takes time, energy and money to see a house. Of course, there is no need to show a very satisfied expression and opinion. You can directly tell the landlord that the house basically meets the requirements. As long as the price is reasonable, you can decide to sign the contract on the same day. Landlords and real estate agents can rent out the house as soon as possible, and of course they are willing to give rent concessions to a certain extent. Of course, quick decision-making is based on careful review, not random decision-making. Skip the signing between the intermediary and the landlord.

Ask the neighbors around the house to see if they know the contact information of this neighbor, or go directly to the property management office, and you will directly explain your purpose. Property management usually calls the owner. At this time, you can ask the property management to let you talk to the owner for a few minutes. Because only in this way can we avoid agency fees.

6) The formal process of renting a house

Both parties sign a lease contract.

The landlord can check the tenant's ID card (which can be confirmed by the Public Security Bureau). And ask for a copy as an annex to the contract.

Tenants can check the owner's property right certificate (which can be confirmed at the local real estate exchange) and the owner's ID card (which can be confirmed at the public security bureau). ) and two certificates (that is, the property owner of the property right certificate is consistent with the ID card). And ask for a copy as an annex to the contract.

The signature of the contract (owner) is the same as the owner of the property right certificate. If they are inconsistent, a power of attorney from the property owner is required.

When handling the sharing contract, it is necessary to have proof that the owner agrees to rent (or sublet).

When booking a room, if the owner asks for a deposit, please also check the above documents. The deposit generally does not exceed 20% of the total amount of the lease contract.
