What pitfalls should college students avoid when renting a house?

According to the relevant ** report, a 20-year-old female college student in Xi'an died after drinking a whole bottle of pesticides. The reason for the female college student to do this was because of a rent dispute between her and her landlord.

It is reported that this female college student is a junior this year, and as early as November this year, she discussed with the landlord who is over seventy years old about moving out. Xiao Cheng (a female college student) often travels back and forth between Xi'an and Shangluo, and when she returned to her residence in Xi'an, she found that the room was already occupied, so she planned to check out.

At the same time, according to the description of Xiao Cheng's parents, the landlord Ren said that the refund would definitely be refunded. Xiao Cheng calculated an account for the landlord, and calculated that the landlord needed to refund 4,400 yuan to her (a deposit of 3,000 yuan, a month's rent of 1,900 yuan, a total of 4,900 yuan, and a refund of 4,400 yuan after deducting 500 yuan of water and electricity).

For the refund of 4,400 yuan, the landlord said that he disagreed, meaning that the cost of disturbing hygiene and resetting the password also need to be deducted from it. The two had a quarrel because of this, and during the quarrel, Ren said some extremely ugly things. Later, Xiao Cheng bought two bottles of "diquat fast", drank it and fell into a coma, and finally died after rescue failed.

I feel sorry for such a thing, but Xiao Cheng is indeed a little impulsive, but I hope that the hateful landlord will be punished. So what pitfalls should college students who have just left the house avoid in the process of renting a house? In my opinion, the main aspects are as follows:

01. Be sure to read and draw up the rent contract

Many conflicts between tenants and landlords are caused by some things not being clearly stated when signing the contract, so some relevant details must be listed when signing the contract, so that some unnecessary disputes and conflicts can be avoided in the future. For example, when it comes to check-out, be sure to write down the check-out process and some circumstances that allow early check-out.

02. If you choose to share a house, you must make an agreement with the other party in three chapters

In the case of sharing a house with others, you must explain the relevant matters clearly to the other party, and the three chapters of the law. Do not allow the other party to bring others to the share house casually, let alone fail to perform relevant duties and obligations or harm the basic rights of others. If the other party can't do this, it is recommended not to share a house.

03. Pay attention to verify the identity of the landlord and avoid "indiscriminate filling".

Some people are indeed renting out their homes, but that doesn't mean they're the landlords. Sometimes there is a situation where the landlord rents out the property through an agent to earn extra money, and then you enter into some non-legally efficient agreements with the agent. If your rights and interests are damaged at this time, then no one will compensate you.

Again, you need to be cautious when renting a house, and reliability is the most important!

For college students who have just left school when it comes to renting, here are some pitfalls to avoid:

No formal contract: Avoid verbal agreements or situations where no formal contract is signed. Make sure you have a written contract with your landlord that specifies the length of the lease, rent, security deposit, and other relevant terms to protect your rights.

Not verifying the property information: Before deciding to rent, it is important to verify the authenticity of the property. Check the basic facilities, security, and surroundings of your home to make sure it meets your needs and expectations.

Not knowing about rent and fees: Before signing a contract, have a clear understanding of what is going on with rent and other expenses. Including the payment method of rent, whether it includes water and electricity bills, network fees, etc., to avoid disputes or additional costs in the future.

Ignoring the legality of renting: Ensure the legitimacy of the rented house and avoid renting illegal or disputed housing. You can consult the relevant departments or schools for rental guidance to ensure that the rental is legal and compliant.

Not reading the terms of the contract carefully: Read the terms and conditions of the contract carefully before signing the contract. Pay special attention to important aspects such as lease terms, breach of contract clauses, and quit clauses, and make sure you understand and can comply with the contract.

Do not retain evidence: Before moving in, take photos or videos to record the current situation of the house for future rights protection. At the same time, keep a record of communication with the landlord and proof of payment to prevent failure to provide evidence in the event of a dispute.

Don't know the reputation and reputation of the host: Try to understand the reputation and reputation of the host, and obtain relevant information through online reviews, friend recommendations, etc. Choose a reputable landlord with a good reputation to reduce the risk of renting.

Regardless of transportation and living convenience: When choosing a rental location, consider transportation convenience and living facilities. Make sure that the house is close to the school or workplace, and that there are supermarkets, hospitals, parks and other facilities that you need to live in.

The above are some suggestions to hopefully help you avoid some of the common pitfalls in the rental process. Before renting, do your due diligence and preparation to protect your rights and interests and ensure a smooth and safe rental process.

1. The concept of co-renting and renting as a whole.

If you're renting for the first time, it's important to understand what it means to rent a whole house and share a flat first.

Shared housing is when at least two people (who may not know each other) rent a house together, such as a two-bedroom house, where you only rent one of the rooms and the others rent the other. Sharing a living room, bathroom, kitchen and other common spaces is shared, and all costs incurred in renting are shared by the co-tenants. Shared housing is a relatively common way of living, and the main reason for this is that the rent is too high for one person or a family to afford.

Whole rent means that a house, whether it is several bedrooms, is rented by you alone, and the costs incurred by the whole rent are paid by the renter alone.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of shared housing.

The biggest advantage of sharing a house is that the cost of living is low, and you only need to pay the rent of your own room, and the costs of water, electricity, gas and other expenses are shared by the co-tenants. You can discuss with your roommates about the trivial things in your daily life, you are not alone with someone as a companion, and if you are a single woman sharing a house, you can also reduce potential safety hazards.

As the saying goes, it's easy to get along and it's hard to live together, and the disadvantages of sharing a house are also obvious, especially when sharing with strangers, personal living habits, hygiene habits, the use of public areas, and the sharing of water and electricity bills are prone to conflicts. For example, if the inconsistent work and rest time leads to poor sleep quality, the unreasonable allocation of the right to use public areas leads to the reluctance of everyone to take the initiative to clean, and the unfair sharing of water and electricity bills leads to unhappiness, etc., the boat of friendship may overturn.

If you share a room, it will be much more convenient to choose a room with a separate bathroom, and you can also bring friends to share a house as much as possible to avoid a series of problems caused by sharing.

3. Advantages and disadvantages of the whole lease.

The whole rental has its own independent living space, good privacy, you can use the bathroom and kitchen at any time, save time and cost, there is no series of problems caused by shared housing, and you can also arrange the house according to your preferences.

However, for recent college graduates or those with high financial pressure, the cost of a whole apartment is much more than that of a shared apartment. The difference between finding a share house near your place of work and finding an entire apartment can be a few thousand dollars. According to the report data released by Ziru in April 2017, 59% of the monthly rent of one-bedroom houses in Beijing is less than 5,000 yuan, while the most concentrated range is 3,791 yuan to 4,590 yuan per month, and only 3% of the monthly rent is less than 2,890 yuan.

In addition, the whole rental needs to consider security, especially for single women, the whole apartment is rented for one bedroom, if there is no one at home after overtime, be wary of letting illegal elements follow into the house.

In general, the comfort of living in a whole house is greater than that of a shared house, and most people will give preference to the whole house when they have sufficient funds. However, it is still necessary to combine your work location, a one-bedroom apartment near the old popular area is often hard to find, and it is easier to solve the housing problem by sharing a house.

The house is rented, but the life is not. Whether it's a whole or a shared apartment.

When college students are just out of school, they often need to choose to rent, and here are some notable rental pitfalls:

1.Contract terms: Before signing a lease contract, college students must carefully read all the terms and conditions of the contract, especially the deposit, rent, lease term, liquidated damages, and property maintenance, etc., to ensure that they fully understand these terms and conditions to avoid disputes in the future.

2.Safety and environment: When renting a house, pay attention to the external environment and safety factors of the house, such as whether there are safety precautions, whether the surrounding area is safe, whether the transportation is convenient, etc.

In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether there are safety hazards in the house itself, such as whether the electrical equipment is safe and hygienic. Be sure to have a full inspection of your home before renting it.

3.Communal facilities: Some shared housing or apartment buildings may have shared kitchens, bathrooms, or common areas, and university students need to carefully consider whether they need to share these facilities and confirm whether they are clean, easy to use, and whether other residents will cause them inconvenience or disturbance.

4.Rental costs: When determining the rent of a rental house, college students should consider not only the rent, but also the cost of utilities such as water, electricity, and gas, which are generally borne by themselves.

Also, be aware of whether you need to pay additional fees such as rental deposits and intermediary service fees.

5.Intermediary services: When renting an apartment, some college students may look for a house through an agent, so it is necessary to understand the credibility and reputation of the agent.

At the same time, college students need to pay attention to whether the agent is real and legitimate, whether it charges too high service fees, and whether it can provide detailed housing information and services.

In conclusion, college students need to carefully consider various factors when renting an apartment to ensure that they are renting a safe, comfortable, and affordable home. It's a good idea to do your research and preparation for renting in advance, and seek help and advice from parents or friends.

2.Neglect to inspect the property: Make sure you are aware of any damage or issues before moving in.

4.No Renter's Insurance: Renter's insurance protects your belongings in the event of theft, damage, or other unforeseen events.

5.Failure to communicate with roommates: If you live with a roommate, it's important to have clear communication about expectations, responsibilities, and expenses.

6.Skip background and credit checks: Before renting, check your potential roommate's background and credit to ensure a good rental experience.

By avoiding these pitfalls, college students can ensure a smooth and stress-free rental experience.

The pitfalls that college students who have just left school should avoid in renting a house: the first is to avoid the pitfalls of intermediaries, and it is generally best to find a house by yourself rather than through a real estate agent, because not only will you be charged an information fee, but you are likely to not find a suitable house. 4 is to pay attention to the sharing of people, if you share with others, you must look at the type of room and the character of the other party, if you find an unsuitable person to share the house, the days will be very painful.

First of all, you must look at the real estate certificate with the landlord, sign a rental contract, and choose some large real estate companies with a good reputation as much as possible, so as to be more secure and avoid some unnecessary troubles.

When renting a house, you must choose a single rent, do not share a house, and secondly, when choosing a house, you must be optimistic about the water meter and electricity meter, as well as the shared cost. Because for college students who have just left school, they will not go to see these things when they rent a house, and it is easy to be cheated by the landlord.

In terms of renting, you must look at the contract signed with the other party, is there any one who says that there will be no refund? In case you don't want to do it, they withhold your rent and don't take your deposit. It's really hard.

College students who have just left school must go to a regular rental house to see in terms of renting, not to go to the kind of second-hand, or do not have that kind of qualifications** to check. The second is that you should look at a few more when renting a house and compare them with each other**. Finally, choose a suitable house to rent.

That is, when renting a house, you have to pay a part of the deposit, the deposit, generally a month's rent does not have to pay too much, and when renting, you must look at the handover of water and electricity, water heaters, various electrical appliances, are these broken?

The most important thing to rent a house is to avoid the other party cheating on you, to find an elder to find a house for you, so that you can find a comfortable house, plus the sunny side of the house, as well as contracts such as cleanliness years, don't sign randomly.

Hello, for renting, first of all, you have to understand whether this house is too high compared to other houses, and then, when renting a house, it is very important to sign a contract, and you should express it in writing according to what may happen in the future. The more detailed the content, the better, and this is also for your benefit.

I think college students should learn more about renting a house. And this lease contract must be clearly written, in addition to whether the house is warm, and whether all the facilities in the house are complete, and whether they are all in normal use, you must take a good look.
