Legal subjectivity: what are the scams of renting a house? One: Pretending to be "I am the landlord": Pretending to be the landlord rents the house that is about to expire, pretending to be the landlord to sublet it at a price slightly lower than the market price, and asking the tenant to pay the rent for half a year or one year at a time. After the tenant pays for a period of time, the real landlord will come to collect the rent, and the tenant will passively fall into a dispute. Deception 2: publishing false houses and defrauding agency fees: it is very common for black brokers and false houses to rent online again. In order to attract tenants to postpone the release of high-quality housing with good conditions and free of commission, tenants will be told that the house has been rented out when consulting, and then enthusiastically recommend other housing, thus raising rents and collecting commissions in disguise. Trick 3: Fake contract: When a rental agent or landlord signs a contract, they usually sign it hastily without looking at the terms carefully. The responsibilities of both parties such as property fees, loss of goods and contract modification fees are not clearly defined, so the deposit will be deducted when checking out for these reasons, and then property losses will be suffered. Article 266 of the Insurance Law: whoever defrauds public or private property in a relatively large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also or only be fined; If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; If the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or confiscated. Where there are other provisions in this Law, such provisions shall prevail. Legal objectivity: renting a house is a common form of living at present, especially when July comes. Renting a house has become the first problem that fresh graduates must face. For students who lack social experience, we should recognize the traps in renting houses and prevent being deceived. Trap 1: the landlord problem. The landlord problem in lease transaction generally refers to the fake landlord. That is, a swindler rents a house, then pretends to be the landlord to sublet the house, and finally absconds with the rent paid by the tenant for one year or more. On the question of the landlord, the renter should ask to see the landlord's real estate license and ID card after meeting the landlord. If he is renting a house for a friend, then he must have a power of attorney for renting a house, a friend's real estate license, an ID card or a copy. If the real estate license is not completed, a purchase contract must be issued to prove its true identity. Trap 2: Charge problem. Fees in leasing transactions generally refer to room fees, information fees and consulting fees. Illegal intermediaries often use the low-priced housing as a pretext to trick renters into paying 100 for housing inspection, information or consulting fees to 300 yuan, and then claim that the house has been rented out and the landlord is absent, and the fees paid by renters will never be refunded. On the issue of fees, it is recommended that renters stay away as soon as they hear something like "looking at the room rate". It is suggested that renters choose large-scale real estate agents for lease transactions, especially some well-known large-scale real estate agents, who have always promised to "no transaction and no charge" and will serve renters completely free of charge until they find a suitable house. Trap 3: Property inspection. The most easily overlooked detail in leasing transactions is property inspection. Small intermediaries will not provide formal property inspection for renters, which will be followed by unnecessary utilities, gas and electrical maintenance fees. When both parties reach an agreement and sign a house lease contract, they must go through a formal property inspection process. Moreover, all items in the house should be listed in a detailed "property handover list" and then put away as an annex to the contract. It is best to indicate who will bear the maintenance costs in case of failure. Carefully check whether the electrical appliances, doors and windows in the house are damaged, and verify whether the related expenses such as water, gas, electricity and telephone are settled, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to yourself. Trap 4: the deposit problem. The problem of deposit in lease transactions is generally that when the renter requests to withdraw the lease at the expiration of the contract, the landlord will unreasonably deduct the tenant's deposit on the condition that the housing facilities are damaged or other excuses, causing unnecessary losses to the tenant. On the issue of deposit, the current market practice is generally one pay three, two pay three or two pay four. When signing the lease contract, it should be indicated that if the house and its facilities are not damaged within a few working days after the lease expires, the owner shall refund the deposit. Of course, the most important thing is that renters should take care of the facilities in the house, and don't give people a handle at the end, so that some unscrupulous landlords can succeed.
