Some illegal intermediary companies, in the name of housing leasing agents, defrauded the owners of housing keys and a one-month vacancy period with various preferential conditions, and paid the rent by monthly payment. At the same time, they advertise low-cost rental to attract renters. If the lessee takes a fancy to this house, he should at least pay the rent by means of one mortgage and three payments, and more often, he should pay the rent by means of half a year or annual payment. Through this means, illegal intermediaries can accumulate a large amount of cash in a short time, and then wait for an opportunity to flee with the money, thus bringing huge property losses to owners and renters.

Deception 2: huge price difference

Illegal intermediaries use various preferential means to cheat the trust of the owners, and then in the name of not charging intermediary fees, they sell their houses in agent for owner at a very low price and rent them at the market price, earning a high price difference. Roughly speaking, the vacancy period plus the price difference should be at least 3000 yuan.

Trick 3: Pretending to be the landlord to defraud the agency fee.

The illegal intermediary in this scam must first rent a suitable house as a prop, and then find the company's salesman to pretend to be the landlord, and the rental price quoted to all customers is far below the market price. Whenever the customer is satisfied with the house, he signs a contract with the fake landlord and pays the agency fee. The fake landlord finds out various reasons and refuses to rent. When the customer asked the company to refund the money, the company said that both parties had signed the lease contract, the intermediary service had been completed, the landlord unilaterally breached the contract, and the intermediary fee would not be refunded.

Deception 4: defrauding fees in various names.

One is "looking at the room rate". The process of this scam is that after the customer pays the "house inspection fee" of 300-500 yuan, a salesman leads the customer to see a "house" (of course, this house does not exist at all). On the way, A salesman B called to pretend that the landlord said that he could not go for the time being, so he could make an appointment to see the house or ask the customer to write down the phone number of the "owner". At this time, a salesman will say, "You contacted the landlord and the inspection fee will not be refunded according to the contract."

The second is "information fee". The so-called information fee means that when the renter and the intermediary company can't reach an agreement on the rental agency fee, the intermediary company will propose a preferential way, that is, after the renter pays a small fee, it is generally 300-500 yuan, and the intermediary company will provide the renter with a number of housing information, which will be contacted by the renter himself.

Deception 5: contract trap

Whether the landlord or tenant entrusts an intermediary company to rent a house or rent a house for them, they must sign an entrustment contract with them. If you don't read the terms carefully, you are likely to fall into the trap dug by the intermediary company.

First of all, in the agreement signed between the intermediary company and the tenant, if there is a clause similar to "Party B exchanges their respective contact information with the lessor, or signs a deposit contract with it, and the intermediary company completes the entrustment contract with Party B, and Party B pays the agency fee", it is necessary to ask the tenant to be vigilant, and the intermediary company is likely to defraud the tenant's agency fee by playing a duet with its internal personnel. The correct approach should be to verify the landlord's identity and property rights and other relevant documents, and sign a formal housing lease contract with the landlord, and pay the relevant expenses of the intermediary company after the property is delivered.

Second, when signing the entrustment contract with the landlord, the intermediary company should agree on the place of signing the house lease contract, preferably to the intermediary company, so as to prevent the salesman of the intermediary company from signing the contract with the owner privately without telling his company, and the transaction safety of the owner will not be guaranteed. Secondly, it is necessary to fill in the property acceptance form in detail, indicating in detail the name, brand, quantity and old and new degree of various facilities in the house, which shall be signed and confirmed by the owner and the salesman of the intermediary company, and stamped with the official seal to prevent the goods from being damaged or lost.
