What do I need to pay attention to when renting a house in the United States, and what should I pay

Three kinds:1If you can live in a school house, you must not go out and toss by yourself, except for local tyrants. UAH for schools

It's the conscience of the Upper West Side rental community, and the several room types offered are very good value for money. The author has been fortunate enough to live in three of them, and let's talk about them separately:

1) dorm is what we usually call a student dormitory, with two rooms and single rooms, toilets and kitchens. Generally, new undergraduate students are required to live in a student dormitory, and graduate students may also be assigned to a dormitory after applying. dorm

The ** is relatively low, generally around 900-1100 knives. Double rooms may be cheaper.

2）apartment

Two- or three-bedroom apartments. Basically, they are newly renovated, and some of them don't bring their homes, and the school's email will be clearly written. If you get along well with your roommates, this room type is very comfortable.

Ranging from 1000-1300 knives.

3) studio One bedroom and one living room, or one room without living room. There are bathrooms, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and some with kitchens in their own rooms. **Relatively high, more than 1300-1500 dollars. 2.

CUCSSA is a good forum. The Columbia University Chinese Student Forum provides a lot of information on finding and renting a house. Pay attention to identifying phishing links. 3.

If you can't find it, then be sure to contact a reliable rental company. For example, the resources of high-quality housing near Columbia are basically monopolized by two companies, COSO and Empire

The house is decorated in a uniform style, clean and hygienic, but the rooms are relatively small, and some rooms even put down a double bed and there is almost no place to stay. After talking about the house information**, let's talk about where to look when you look at the house:

1.Be sure to see if there are any cockroaches, rats, bed bugs!! While China was carrying out its great campaign to eradicate the four pests, the American people were still living in dire straits with snakes, insects, rats and ants.

2.Utilities, internet fees, etc. are not included in the room rate. In general, the water bill is included, and the electricity and internet bills are shared equally with the roommates.

The deposit is generally one month's rent, and a direct contract with the company requires three months' rent as a deposit. Be careful that the second landlord will collect the rent for a year or several months at a time, and some students have been kicked out overnight because the second landlord has disappeared and defaulted on the rent of the rental company.

4.Pay attention to ask if there is a superintendent in the building, and if all kinds of appliances and toilets are broken, you can ask them to repair them.

5.It's best to find a laundry room in the house or building, otherwise you'll have to carry a bag of clothes to the street to find a laundry room.

6.It would be nice to have an elevator for easy moving.

7.To get to know how many people share a bathroom, generally 2-3 people are suitable. If there is more, the girls will fight.

8.Some rooms are separated by a living room, which is generally lower, about 800-900 dollars. If you come across this type of room when looking at a house, you can lower the price.

Pay attention to the contents of the contract.

Don't let people cheat and bully you.

1. Sign a contract: When you find a house you like, you must sign a rental contract with the owner. Many homeowners require tenants to prepay their first and last month's rent before moving in.

This is called "rent upfront". Rent upfront is to ensure that tenants give at least 30 days' notice to the homeowner before moving out. Many homeowners also require a security deposit, usually the amount of one month's rent.

This deposit is to ensure that everything is in good condition when the tenant moves out. Remember to keep the deposit receipt as proof.

2. Rental costs: The money spent on renting should be one-quarter to one-third of the total living expenses you plan, and "attendance and miscellaneous expenses" such as gas bills, electricity bills, and service fees are usually not included in the rent. Get an estimate of your monthly miscellaneous expenses from the grocery company or previous tenants before signing the contract.

The fee is to be paid directly to each service company on a monthly basis.

3. Take photos to leave evidence: When you move in, the property company will give you a **, which shows the situation in your apartment from the household appliances to the wall, and you need to sign for confirmation. At this time, you must carefully check each item one by one, and take photos to record it, so as not to be unclear if it is damaged when you move out in the future.

4. Early check-in: Negotiate directly with the housing company to discuss the possibility of early check-in. If it is not possible to check in early, then you can contact the school's teaching secretary, who usually has a list of hotels around the school, and usually the school has cooperation with these hotels.

1.There is a landlord who always comes in after 10pm and is very demanding in every detail of the interior.

2.Another landlord of the Protoss used all the risk deposits in the rental contract to buy his private collection, and he even monopolized our kitchen and didn't let us use it.

3.There was also a landlord who asked to see the room we rented every time, and sometimes even our entire apartment.

4.Another landlord asked us to write a monthly rent receipt on time, and even had to send it to his house.

5.There was another landlord who opened our door every time he passed by the room to peep and always complained that our interior was so bad. Brigade split.

Not everyone in the United States can afford to buy a house, if you are in the United States and you don't have the financial ability to buy a house and want to rent a house, what should you do, and let me take a look at what documents are needed to rent a house in the United States.

What documents do you need to rent an apartment in the United States

1. Chinese passport or visa: The U.S. property management company requires the rental applicant to provide an ID with **, so it is necessary to provide a fax or scanned copy of the first page of the passport or visa page. It is good to have a student visa.

2. U.S. Social Security Number (SSN): Only a few applications require an SSN number.

3. You need to provide your identity document, which is the same as renting a house in China, you need to provide your identity document when renting a house, and a copy should be left with the landlord to avoid any accidents.

What you should pay attention to when renting an apartment in the United States

1. What can be done to decorate the house during the residence. For example: the house I lived in before was allowed to paste pictures on the walls, and if there were sticking marks when walking, it was not fine, but if the painting was ordered with nails, then when I walked, I must fill in the holes with hole filler, otherwise it will be fine.

2. Ask to see the landlord's real estate certificate and ID card to see if it is the one described by the landlord himself. Another thing is to see if the information on the real estate certificate and ID card are consistent.

3. When signing the contract, it is necessary to agree on the rent, rent payment method, and liability for breach of contract. There is also the question of whether it can be subleased. If it is agreed at the time of signing the contract that it can be subleased, it can be subleased, and if it is not allowed, the landlord has the right to repossess the house if he finds that the tenant has subleased.

4. Pay attention to the area and pattern of the room. The landlord's strange methods of slamming the door will surprise you. In San Francisco, for example, landlords rent out their living rooms separately or even split them into two separate rooms.

However, the form of "recruiting the director" is strictly forbidden in some cases, requiring a few people to live in a few rooms, so it is no problem to save rent, but you must be careful, once you are found out, you may be evicted!

Summary: This article explains what documents are needed to rent a house in the United States and what should be paid attention to when renting a house in the United States, so that we can learn that when renting a house in the United States, we need to provide my household photo, ID card, US Social Security Number (SSN) and so on. When renting a house in the United States, you should pay attention to the landlord's real estate certificate, what decoration can be done to the house during the residence, and pay attention to the room area, layout and other issues.
