Rent refund

1. The owner must be informed in advance. If the lease term is not renewed, notice shall be given 15 to 30 days in advance. To settle the property management fee, water and electricity are enough.

2. The lease term hasn't come yet. If a contract is signed when renting a house and there is an agreement to check out in advance, you can follow the agreed process. Generally, it will not affect the owner's rent collection, and only when a new tenant is found can the rent be withdrawn.

3. If the rent is paid in advance and not full, discuss with the owner to push the rent and detain the deposit. If there is a check-out agreement in the rental fee, you can find a new tenant to refund the deposit and the remaining rent. It is best to negotiate a check-out agreement before renting a house, otherwise the economic loss will be great.
