For the young people in the 21st century, Shanghai drifting northern drifting deep drifting Hangzhou drifting can not avoid renting a room.
With the influx of population to the first and second-tier cities, the level of housing prices rose, just in the first and second-tier cities to work the workers will be able to buy a house is not realistic, rent a room becomes the first choice.
In recent years, the rise of Internet rentals has brought convenience to the traditional and huge offline rental market, but it has also led to more conflicts and problems.
Long-term rental apartments are bursting at the seams, capital chain breakdowns are frequent, and rental loans and platform runaways have become a major problem for renters in the past two years. In the first and second-tier cities of the rental housing workers are less faced with deposits not refunded, more miserable months of rent nowhere to be found or even to the streets, really a pit more than a pit deep.
As of March 13, 2021, in the black cat complaints, hunting cloud network search and rental housing-related matching results amounted to 20,606, of which the key words are mainly sublet not renewed deposit arrears not refunded, security deposit withdrawal difficult, false propaganda rental poor quality, privacy violations data leaks, automatic withdrawal and withholding deposit, illegal rental partition room, private price adjustment, the main complaints for mushroom rentals, Ba Le Rabbit The main targets of complaints are mushroom rentals, Bale rabbit, eggshells, self-reference, etc.
On the occasion of 315, cloud hunting network to find four young tenants working in first and second-tier cities, and they talked about those pits encountered in renting, hoping to give a wake-up call to the workers drifting outside.
The contract terms of the platform has become the umbrella for the second landlord to deduct the deposit
Xiao Ning just came to Shanghai on the eve of the G20 in Hangzhou, she took the Family dog and cat to take a night drip ride to Songjiang.
In 2016, this part of Songjiang Dongjing was slightly remote and deserted all around. With the introduction of the agent, Xiao Ning signed a house in Zhuangjing Court with a very fast speed, the rent is 2500 yuan per month.
For Ning, the house is rented, but Life is her own. Although she does not know how to clean, but still from Time to time arrange for self-cleaning Home cleaning.
A few years have passed, and Xiao Ning did not expect that she would encounter the problem of indiscriminate deduction or even non-refund of the deposit after it expired.
Xiao Ning told his landlord in August 2020 that he would not renew his lease for six months this time because he might move, and the landlord expressed his understanding. This time, the electronic contract also moved from the mushroom rentals to the Bale rabbit, the landlord had told Xiao Ning, because the mushroom rentals App needs to charge, and for the landlord to rent a room effect is very little, so use the Bale rabbit to sign the contract instead.
But what Xiao Ning didn’t expect was that the landlord could withhold the deposit after six months and not return it, which was allowed by the terms of the contract of Balak Rabbit.
Before Xiao Ning moved out of the rental address on February 24, Xiao Ning had consulted the landlord to see the handover in person, but the landlord said he did not have time that day. In order to finish the delivery of the house early with the landlord, Xiaoning arranged for the self-cleaning visit on February 25 and carried out the overall cleaning work.
On February 27, the landlord said to Xiao Ning that he had the right to deduct 50% of the deposit in the event that Xiao Ning did not express his non-renewal of the lease one month in advance. At the same time, because there was still cat hair on the sofa, he asked for a further deduction of 100 yuan cleaning fee. But previously 4 years, Xiaoning has been using the network provided by the landlord, paying more than 500 yuan per year for the network, last December, the landlord had asked Xiaoning if he wanted to renew the network, Xiaoning said he would not renew, the landlord also unplugged Xiaoning network cable 1 month in advance.
“I think a modern person living is certainly to use the network, since the network is disconnected, how can still renew the lease? “Xiao Ning thought that time the landlord should be the default non-renewal of the lease situation.
But because the utility bills were still outstanding on February 27, the landlord asked for the remaining deposit to be settled by March 5. But on the morning of March 5, the landlord once again sent a weibo, saying that the living room sofa had been urinated on by a cat, throwing the sofa and asking for another 600 yuan to be deducted from the deposit.
The deposit was changed from 2,500 yuan to 650 yuan.
In Xiao Ning’s view, the landlord is the deposit is not returned, but now he has given him the reason for deductions again and again. “Throw the sofa was not previously discussed with me, said early in the morning threw to deduct me 600 yuan. If the sofa itself is a great smell, February 27 should be raised, why wait until March 5? “
On the contract of the Bale, you can clearly see a line on the annex on the non-renewal of the lease rules under, “If Party B does not renew the lease of the house after the expiration of this contract, Party B needs to inform Party A 30 natural days before the expiration date of the contract, failure to inform is deemed to renew the lease. “
Xiao Ning believes that as an adult, he should be responsible for the contract he signed, but this clause is hidden in the annex at the end of the contract, which is not easy to notice, and the content of the clause is in favor of the landlord, which is unreasonable and suspicious of bullying clause. At the same time, Ning also deliberately checked the previously signed mushroom rental and paper contracts, and never saw similar clauses appear.
In this regard, Xiaoning consulted with Baler Rabbit, who said that the terms of the contract were drawn up by the landlord and had nothing to do with Baler Rabbit. However, Xiao Ning learned from the black cat complaint that the attached clause was not drawn up by the landlord alone, but the clause on the contract template brought by Bale rabbit. Xiao Ning observed that on Black Cat Complaints alone, there were countless tenants who had their deposits fully deducted because of this clause, just like Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning negotiated with Bale rabbit customer service, hoping that they could send someone to coordinate the matter, but Bale rabbit did not reply, saying that the disputes arising from this clause need to be negotiated between the tenant and the landlord themselves.
But Xiao Ning was puzzled by the fact that the contract was drawn up and signed by Baler Rabbit, and the monthly rent was also paid through Baler Rabbit, so how could Baler Rabbit ignore it? “The special terms on the Bale rabbit seven days to return the landlord is not implemented at all, at this point, the deposit in the hands of who is vulnerable, the landlord does not return the deposit, the platform will not have a dedicated person to urge the landlord to implement. “
For this reason, Ning specially ran a trip to the Tangqiao neighborhood committee, for the landlord does not refund the deposit matter want to discuss a statement. The staff of the neighborhood committee looked at the non-renewal clause in the attachment on the Bale rabbit for a long time, and also said that this clause does not clearly state that if you fail to inform a month in advance, then the deposit should be handled in a specific way. But just when the staff called the second landlord and said that they would communicate and negotiate together, the landlord still did not make any concessions and did not come forward to communicate.
Meanwhile, in the process of coordinating with the neighborhood committee, Xiao Ning learned that the landlord had used the terms of the Bailiff more than once to make the deduction of the deposit, and the previous time also because of the 30 days’ unannounced problem of communication and coordination to the neighborhood committee.
So far, Ning said her deposit has not been refunded, and the landlord said there is no need to interview her, whether it is the police or a lawsuit, whatever she wants to do.
The lawsuit filed by Xiao Ning was also returned because the second landlord filled in his wife’s name on the contract on the Bale rabbit, and the court “did not provide evidence of the existence of a legal relationship between the original defendant and the real name. Ltd. so she did not specifically ask for an adjustment when she signed the contract, but she did not expect this to be another invisible pit.
“Originally thought that the contract signed on the platform at least have a third party, will be safer. Who knows how to accelerate become cut leeks, so what is the point of the platform’s existence? “Xiao Ning bitterly laughed,” renting, stay away from the second landlord, stay away from the Balakha. “
Intimidation, cursing, lock picking…I was harassed by the landlord for more than a month
A certain late night after the National Day in 2020, moved into a new home only 3 months Zou Zou received a phone call, a gruff male voice on the other end of the phone demanded that Zou Zou move out immediately, and claimed that the rental platform stormed (Kitty Rentals).
The actual fact is that the actual person is not a person who is not a person. The phone caller said that according to the contract, the landlord has automatically terminated the contract with the agent side, so Zou Zou signed with the agent no longer has legal effect, should be immediately vacated (later the lawyer confirmed that this statement is wrong, the contract can not be a one-way termination, and there are many ambiguities in the contract), if there are any problems, she can always call the police to deal with.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. But this is just the beginning of the pain, the next month-long tug-of-war to Zou Zou caused great distress.
The year paid more than 60,000 yuan in rent, now only live 3 months to be evicted, Zou Zou panicked.
The next day, Zou Zou began to communicate with the landlord far away, trying to solve the problem, but soon Zou Zou found something wrong, she pointed out that the landlord should communicate with the agent to resolve the matter, rather than directly evict the tenant, and hope that both sides can face to face, but the landlord refused Zou Zou’s proposal.
After the communication failed, the landlord said she wanted to change the locks and soon she came from out of town with a locksmith and two male relatives in the area and pried open the door despite Zou Zou’s stop. That day, the landlord also sat at the door and cursed, from 1 p.m., until 6 p.m., his voice was hoarse.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. The electronic doorbell recorded the whole thing and was submitted to the police by Zouzou, but the police were quite helpless because the landlord had not trespassed and had not injured the tenant.
The police station also gathered many landlords and tenants who also came to report the incident because of the platform storm. But in the end, everyone only received a receipt that if the case could be handled and the money could be recovered, everyone would be able to recover some of their losses, and there was no promise as to when the case would be solved. Now, almost six months have passed since the outbreak of the incident, Zou Zou still has not received any notice.
The next day, the two sides came to the street office to seek a solution. But the trainee lawyer in charge of mediation only warned both sides of their responsibilities and consequences, and the atmosphere became more and more tense, and the attitude of both sides became more and more assertive, which eventually led to the failure of mediation.
The week after this, the landlord’s male relatives came knocking on the door in the middle of the night almost every day and verbally intimidated. Zou Zou told hunting cloud network: “There are some landlords do more excessive, let the property to the tenant cut off water and electricity, and even the door directly unloaded. The tenants are really helpless, money and home are gone, every day to live in fear. In this period, Zou Zou also received a letter from the landlord’s lawyer.
The final thing that made Zou Zou decide to give in was the landlord’s elderly father. The old man had a major surgery not long ago and still decided to pay a visit after learning about it.
One afternoon, the landlord’s Parents came to Zou Zou’s residence at the time. After waiting for a long time, the old man was somewhat physically exhausted, and the video of the electronic doorbell showed that the landlord’s mother proposed to enter the door directly to rest, but was refused by the landlord’s father, and the two left for some time, and later Zou Zou learned that he found the property and entered the room in the presence of a third party.
When Zou Zou returned home after working late in the evening, he was really startled by the two strangers in the living room, followed by verbal abuse from the landlord’s mother.
In the subsequent negotiation, Zou Zou agreed to live until five months after moving out, and signed a new agreement, and the landlord, as well as the male relative mentioned above, stopped harassing Zou Zou.
At the end of the chat, Zouzou’s mood remained low: “I still can’t bear to tell my parents about this experience …… .
Almost “bankrupt”, in just 7 days, I stepped on all the potholes of renting an apartment
The soon to be graduated Lele would not have thought that the social beatings came so unexpectedly. When she thinks back to the summer when she was looking for a room in the city, she still sweats coldly.
Perhaps because of the fledgling, she still has unrealistic expectations of renting a house. She couldn’t contain her excitement when she saw the various well-decorated, well-located, conveniently-located and cost-effective rooms on the rental platform. After getting the reply of “the room is still available, it is physical, and the landlord is renting it directly”, Lele quickly finalized the meeting time with the other party.
However, the picture of the small and beautiful but turned into the old broken small in front of you, the price is also higher than the platform marked four or five hundred. The face of Lele doubts, the agent is used to, “(picture) that kind of room, lot, at least five or six thousand”, said the picture serious discrepancies, the little brother’s explanation is “We are so marked”.
After returning from one disappointment, Lele looked at another set, but in the way of budget Lele was very hesitant. The agent in charge of showing at that time proposed a “solution”, can reduce the price, but need to pay annually.
He said that his company (a well-known rental platform) did not support annual payments, and that Lele needed to transfer the money to a reliable third-party company he knew first and sign a contract with the other party. Lele didn’t understand the twists and turns, but the annual payment was still a significant expense after all, and Lele decided to take another look.
The company’s new leader has been appointed, and the discount is very strong. The company’s new leader is in office, so there is a big discount. In the end, Lele was dissuaded from paying the annual fee, and she should be glad that she was shy and escaped a calamity – a few months later, a number of parental rental apartments went into meltdown, and the one she contacted was one of the biggest ones involved. This was the closest Lele ever came to being “broke”.
Lele, who was looking for a room alone, also encountered harassment from the agency guy. The company’s personal privacy, if any, physical contact, plus the slightly remote neighborhood let Lele think of the news broadcast of the vicious incident, and then think of their own even his name, the company do not know, Lele cold sweat, hurriedly ended the house.
That night, Lele also received an explicit “greeting”, so she hurriedly blacked out the other party. When she told the cloud hunting network about this house hunting experience, her face turned white.
Jumped out of the pit of the second landlord, but did not escape the explosion of the apartment
Little L works at Tencent, so he has been looking for a suitable house in Shenzhen‘s Nanshan District.
In the middle of last year, he found a good house through Baler Rabbit, but just when he was ready to sign the contract, he found that this landlord could not provide the property certificate and other related information. For this reason, Baler Rabbit provided a lease contract between the landlord and the second landlord, but what puzzled Little L was that the name of the second landlord on this contract did not match the name of the first party on the contract provided by Baler Rabbit.
Bale rabbit said that the two second landlords are husband and wife, so the contract names are different, but it does not affect. Little L randomly asked Baler Rabbit to provide proof of the relationship between the three, but Baler Rabbit said that it could not provide it. So Little L decisively gave up the house, but what he didn’t expect was that although he avoided the pit of Baler Rabbit, he next jumped into the pit of eggshell without any hesitation.
“Because the rent to be paid for half a year can be about 200 yuan cheaper per month, so I paid half a year’s rent and 1 month’s deposit directly at that time. “Little L said that after moving into the eggshell’s house in August 2020, he was evicted by the landlord in November because of the mine explosion.
“The landlord did not receive the rent from eggshell in November and wanted to stop the loss in time, so he immediately came to negotiate with us. “At the time, Little L was paying less than $3,000 a month in rent and had delivered a total of $17,000 to eggshell. The landlord said he could bear half of the loss, so he immediately paid Little L and his roommates nearly $5,000 each in cash and let them move out as soon as possible.
After Xiao L moved out, the eggshell platform showed that the remaining amount was more than $7,000, but in fact the remaining 3 months’ rent plus 1 month’s deposit should be nearly $10,000, but the eggshell ended up showing $7,000 because of various reasons for deductions.
Even so, Xiao L applied for cash withdrawal still unsuccessful, customer service phone number completely can not be reached, even the agent who showed him the house back then joined the eggshell rights group, according to his understanding, the agent also has more than 10,000 wages are owed.
“Many people who defend their rights lined up on the spot to get a number, but in the end, they also said to wait for the notice. So most people have given up. “
Little L said that the reason why he did not renew the original owner’s house is because he rented the house on eggshells at a lower rate than even the rent given to the landlord by eggshells. “The whole house is rented on eggshell for less than 10,000 yuan, but eggshell gives the landlord 11,000 yuan. Eggshell signed a 5-year contract with the landlord directly, and the landlord waived one month of rent to Eggshell every year. “
In Xiao L’s opinion, half-yearly payment, annual payment is similar to the rent loan, the platform with a slightly lower rent temptation to cut the leek of the tenant after running away, the remaining disputes and risks are all thrown to the landlord and tenant.
After moving out of the eggshell house, Xiao L found the pitted eggshell Shenzhen owners in the eggshell refugee group, and once again rented the house in Nanshan at a price of about $3,000 straight.
“I should never rent an apartment again, either rent straight from the owners or buy a house. “
