Generally, if you rent residential areas and business apartments, you will use the contract version of intermediary stores. The terms are legal, reasonable and compliant, and the legal constraints on both landlords and tenants are relatively fair. Under normal circumstances, there will be no routine.
There will be problems, that is, the landlord's own contract to rent a house and a private apartment in the village. The terms of this contract are basically beneficial to the landlord and the tenant suffers.
There are many traps and routines in the contract, which are embodied in various forms. Many inexperienced tenants sign contracts directly without looking at them, which leads to many disputes when checking out, and it is very common that the deposit cannot be refunded.
Traps and routines in the contract can be roughly divided into the following items:
Miscellaneous fees, check-out fees, renewal rules, house use restrictions, price tags of accessories.
I. miscellaneous expenses
Miscellaneous fees are generally reflected in the form of health fees, management fees, internet fees, etc. , and some will also have utility fees. Many times, if you don't ask, the landlord won't tell you in advance. When you pay the deposit and sign the contract, you will find these existing expenses, which will increase your rental cost by 5- 10% per minute.
Tip: when renting a house, try to talk about the all-inclusive price, that is, the price other than utilities, and the bargaining price is also cut on this total price.
Second, the check-out fee
1. When you check out, the contract will indicate that you have to pay the disinfection fee and sanitation fee. Loss and so on. These are often the names of the landlords who want to detain the money. Generally speaking, except for the unclean sanitation fee, it is more reasonable, and nothing else is necessary. Moreover, many expense contracts do not specify the specific amount, but only give the range of the amount. When the landlord checks out, he will find fault everywhere and deduct hundreds of deposits.
2. Check out early without refunding the deposit. This clause is reasonable, it is the same everywhere, not a routine.
Third, the renewal rules
This clause trampled by most people must be clearly seen. Generally, the landlord will be notified to check out XX days in advance, otherwise the lease will be automatically renewed for one year. The landlord will agree to check out if you don't say it in advance. When the deposit is refunded, it will be automatically renewed for one year according to the terms of the contract. If the tenant breaches the contract unilaterally, the deposit will not be refunded!
Fourth, restrictions on the use of housing.
It will be written in the contract that you can't nail and scribble on the wall, or you will deduct a nail from the deposit at the price of xx. There is nothing wrong with this clause itself, but there are nails or wall stains left by the former tenant in the room, and the tenant did not pay attention when renting. After a year, the landlord has long forgotten that when you check out, you will say that you have to deduct money.
Tip: Before signing the contract, first determine the current situation of the house, where there are problems with the walls, where there are nails and electrical appliances. Take a video to prove it.
V. Price of ancillary facilities
When the landlord writes the list of furniture and electrical appliances, he will set a high price, such as a table, a 800 yuan, a chair, a 500 yuan, a sofa 1500 yuan and so on. When checking out, if the furniture is slightly damaged, it will be compensated according to the price, so the landlord must read the price tag clearly, and many of them are for money.
