It's another year of graduation rental season, and the number of lease surrender disputes appearing in the information flow is visible to the naked eye.
A few days ago, a woman in Wuhan quit the rent, because the mattress plastic film broke three holes, the landlord asked for a deduction of 500 deposits, and the sofa that had collapsed when renting a house in 22 years needed to compensate 400 people for the loss of money;
Even if the tenant has already found a cleaner to clean it, he still has to deduct the sanitation fee and use steel wool balls to brush the floor.

Last month, the "lantern damage assessment" that was hotly searched on various platforms made everyone's hearts beat and their backs cold.
The landlord took a searchlight to inspect inch by inch, shot inside and out, "examined" the house, forensic survey the scene, and finally made a list for the tenant to compensate more than 10,000 yuan.
Onlookers were shocked by the landlord's operation and were speechless, while tearfully sharing their outrageous experience of renting a house and losing their deposits.
The fresh graduates of the rental reserve who are still in a clear state are like frightened birds, afraid that they will meet a black-hearted landlord.
Migrant workers who are about to expire and want to change their leases to new houses have also entered a new round of anxiety.
Everyone communicates and learns from each other on the Internet, eats other people's trenches to grow their own wisdom, and also shares their own experiences to remind netizens to pay more attention.
Changing houses is as headache as changing jobs, and how to get out of the house has become a must-learn skill for workers.
01
Renting a house has become a criminal investigation film
If you are not careful, you will step on the pit
Among the various "blood and tears experience posts" that have been seized, there is no most outrageous and annoying, only more outrageous and annoying.
Someone was asked for 2,000 yuan in compensation because the curtains were scratched, not only did they not get the deposit back, but they were also asked for 2,000 yuan in compensation, saying that their curtains were worth as much as 4,200 yuan (RMB).
Some netizens said that the gas stove was stained, and the deposit was only half refunded.
There are tenants who have hardly used the second bedroom, and when they finally quit the rent and inspect the house, the landlord pointed to the wallpaper and said that the color faded seriously, and he had to bear a lot of losses, and he had to return 1000 less deposits.
and also showed a noble look of "It's already very reasonable, you are still not grateful to Dade".
Any mediocre corner may become a force point that cannot get the full deposit back.
Give a greedy landlord a naturally cracked crack, a slightly raised wall skin, a scratch on a piece of furniture, and he will be able to his tail with a buckle.
On the grounds of normal life traces and daily wear and tear, there will be as few as two or three hundred, and as many as all the deposits will be swallowed, and some will even ask for obviously unreasonable high compensation.
As we all know, it is impossible to live in a new house, the state of the room is not exactly the same as when you moved in, and it is impossible to leave no traces of residence.
However, when encountering a rogue landlord, it is useless to be reasonable, it is useless to sell miserably to show weakness, and you have to take your own time, mood and energy.
has suffered a lot, and everyone has become wary of landlords.
In response to the problem of "difficulty in returning the deposit", netizens have summed up a set of countermeasures to solve the hidden dangers from the source.
From viewing the house to signing the contract, every step has a standard process that is forced to be made out of desperation.
When you go to see the house, the landlord and the agent are present to confirm whether the washing machine, refrigerator, range hood and other household appliances can be used normally, and whether there are any functions that are problematic.
The flush of the toilet, the flow rate of the shower, and the sound of the air conditioner when it is working must all be checked.
A clear consensus should also be reached on the current state of the walls and furniture, which serves as a disclaimer of "the defacement was already there, not caused by me".
@一只霹雳文
Pay attention to everything from the brightness of a light bulb to the newness of the whole room.
And it is necessary to shoot videos for retention, and "fix evidence" in the form of chat records, audio recordings, etc.
You should also ask about the amount of the existing items in the house to prevent the "sky-high curtains" mentioned above.
In case it is really "relied upon" in the future or something is really broken, it can also be compensated according to the price agreed before.
@宝玉子
In addition to these deposit pits, which are relatively easy to think of, there are also some hidden types that are secretly bitten hard.
Many people have made mistakes in cleaning fees, loss fees, and maintenance fees.
The kind of hostile landlord will turn into a five-star hotel management expert, and sharply evaluate how bad the hygiene of the house is, what changes have been made to the furnishings of the home, and what wear and tear of the appliances have occurred.
began to ask for sky-high prices, claiming that it would cost them to find someone to clean, tidy, and maintain.
@尹语佳_
This kind of thing does not depend on the actual condition of the house at all, and it is all based on the landlord's words, which turns the tenant's mood upside down.
Even if you pay attention to your use of things and maintain good hygiene, you will still be nitpicked.
Therefore, it is important to write clearly in the contract whether you need cleaning costs and depreciation costs, and how much you will have to pay if you need them, so as to avoid the risk of being bitten back when you quit the lease.
@Dr. Ingredient chamber of gold
Friends who have dogs and cats are not only at the bottom of the contempt chain when looking at the house, but also easy to be "targeted" when they quit the rent.
There is nothing to shirk from scratching furniture and scratching sofas, and you can pay for it as much as you want.
But if the landlord is trying to make things difficult, there are too many openings to open.
It's like saying that there is a cat smell in the house, and no matter how much you clean it, it won't help; said that there is a residue of pet hair, and there is almost no way to clean it up to nothing, so as not to fall into the handle.
In the end, you can only pay a sum of money for the removal of cat smell and dog hair.
However, even with the best of intentions, there is no limit to creativity when a landlord wants to seize a deposit.
Some netizens said that they moved the cabinet to a position, and the landlord grabbed it and said that it destroyed the feng shui array that was originally specially placed, and it couldn't be made up for if it was moved back, and obviously he didn't mention this stubble at all when he rented the house at the beginning.
The netizen had nowhere to be reasonable, and he was busy with work and didn't have the heart to break with the landlord, so he finally used a month's deposit to buy a quiet place that would not be entangled.
In some of the worse situations, not only will the deposit not be returned, but it will also be reversed.
provoked netizens to summarize a painful realization, "There is no landlord in the world who is willing to return the deposit."
Landlords always have countless tricks waiting for tenants, and tenants can only passively see the tricks and follow the landlord to evolve.
As soon as the word deposit is mentioned, it is like facing a great enemy, and when you encounter two bets, you will directly row away and don't look at it.
If you want to rent a room to work with peace of mind, can you really only be forced to do this by the deposit?

Landlords also have grievances
But in some cases, the victimization relationship is reversed.
Some landlords encounter unreliable tenants who have single-handedly damaged the "reputation" of the entire rental group.
Search for "rental deposit" on major platforms, in addition to the complaints and lessons learned posts given by the tenants, there are also the landlord's "grievance posts".
Some tenants quit the rent and did not clean up, moved in a mess, and finally left a house full of garbage, causing social news.
Others changed the water and electricity lines in the house without permission, broke down, and found someone to repair it, causing disputes over who should pay for it.
However, this is an individual case, and being exposed is to the extent that the whole network feels outrageous.
In most cases, there are no tenants who are "arrogant" to this extent, only i-tenants who don't know how to communicate with their landlord.
If there is any inconvenience or attention to be paid to the house, it stands to reason that the landlord should be informed.
For example, the kitchen sink is easy to block, pay attention not to pour solid residue into it, the bathroom is not well ventilated, and do not take a shower for too long in winter.
Correspondingly, if the tenant's demand will have an impact on the property, it is necessary to say hello to the landlord.
For example, whether you can have a pet or not, the acceptance is specific to hamsters, cats or large dogs;
Can you do some soft decoration by yourself, if you can, you have to clean it up completely without traces when you quit the lease, or you can keep some of it.
Not every landlord expects a "swap makeover" for their home.
Even if you are aesthetically pleasing and willing to spend the effort out of your own pocket, people may not be able to agree and ask to maintain the original style of clear soup and little water.
In this case, if the house is "moved" without prior communication, quarrels and even compensation are inevitable.
Netizen @周粥 said that the brand-new wedding house in his hometown was rented out, and when he returned the rent, he found that there were two big nails nailed to the TV wall.
I want to talk to the tenant about this, but the other party not only didn't feel that he did anything wrong at all, but secretly poked and poked and said, the location has been helped you get it, and you left a TV stand, not satisfied?
In some deposit refund posts that "invite everyone to comment", some netizens emphasized their unilateral "grievances" and created their image of victims who were targeted and bullied.
The eyes of the crowd were bright, and they keenly caught the slightest hint of something wrong from the carefully extracted chat logs.
"You didn't discuss it with me before" and "Why did you change it yourself", it doesn't sound like an innocent netizen was grabbed by a black-hearted landlord.
It's hard to take care of the original wallpaper without permission, paint a new color yourself, or throw away the bedside table provided by the landlord.
Netizens are not the objects that can be used as guns for free, and everyone has their own decisions about the merits.

Renting a house, a compulsory course for growing up
Just exercise a few more times
But at the end of the day, tenants are always the underdog in the rental market.
If you want to gamble on the landlord's character and worry about your own safety, you may also receive a "notice" to move out within a three-day time limit, and you will be deducted a large deposit for various reasons.
If you can't rely on your own "lawyer" to deter the landlord at the beginning, you can also adopt a post-mortem tracking strategy.
According to the knowledge provided by resourceful and enthusiastic netizens, there are two ways to counter the landlord's army.
The first is to let the landlord issue a rent invoice, if the other party does not open it, it is very likely that the individual income tax has not been paid, which is tax evasion, and you can call 12366 to report.
The second is to enter the "People's Court Online Service" website or applet, select trial and case filing - disagree with the mediation of a third-party mediation institution - civil first instance, upload the corresponding materials, and pay a litigation fee of 25 yuan. After the case is filed, the house can no longer be rented out, so inform the landlord and let him take care of it.
@一个有自我意识的NPC
However, what is shared on the Internet is generally an example of both ends of the spectrum, and after reading it, it is good to have a snack and pay attention to avoiding pits.
The hosts didn't think as well and not as badly.
In most cases, timely communication and not being afraid of trouble can avoid a lot of unknown troubles.
If you want to renovate the house, ask the landlord for advice first, and get the permission of the other party before proceeding, otherwise it is easy to have conflicts.
On the one hand, it's really a customary thing to rent;
On the other hand, if you get an accurate answer from the other party, you will be able to defend yourself properly if there is a dispute in the future.
DIY some small furniture, buy a batch of small ornaments, and the rental house after the explosion has been raised to a status that does not belong to it.
I can often see netizens sharing that when I quit the rent, the house is not only neat and clean, but also has a sense of life and a feeling of being carefully cared for.
Floor lamps, wall paintings, carpets, potted plants and other things, if you don't move out at the end of the lease, you can leave them to the next tenant and sell the landlord's personal favor.
Both parties are in a good mood, and it can also allow new tenants to "plant trees before and enjoy the shade after others".
Below this kind of post, many netizens in the same city said that they wanted to take over the poster's house.
Let the new tenants know the original price, prevent the landlord from changing hands and increase the rent, just like a large-scale migrant worker mutual aid site without middlemen to make the difference.
Graduation renting is the first hurdle for everyone to step into society.
With a bit of clumsiness and bluntness, begin to experience the life of an adult who earns money to support himself.
It is necessary to contact intermediaries and landlords who do not have any foundation of trust, and face strangers with uneven qualities;
When it comes to money transactions, the short is half a year, and the long is two years, which is a test of luck.
Young people have a lot of imagination about "social people", and they see a lot of strange things on the Internet, so they are easy to fall into a sense of insecurity.
Rental strategy is probably the search term that can best illuminate the real state of young people.
Everyone wants to save money, and they want to give their part-time jobs a better living environment as much as possible, so they repeatedly choose between price, area, commuting distance, and surrounding environment.
forced himself to look "not easy to mess with", and didn't want to be labeled as a good student and a good girl, and was easily manipulated.
Carefully recite those house viewing guides, and worry about whether you have too much to do when you are viewing the house on the spot, and you will be disliked by the landlord and the agent.
For many young people, it is much more difficult to quantify the advantages and disadvantages of several listings than to communicate with the landlord and express their needs.
At the beginning, I was always a little uncomfortable, and I was timid everywhere, I was afraid that I would suffer a loss, and I was afraid that I didn't want to suffer a loss and that it was too "ugly".
In fact, after moving a few times and having some experience, you will find that you can get twice the result with half the effort if you have something to say and be less delayed by face.
Naturally, he formed a set of his own rules of conduct, not aggressive and not submissive.
When Vista Gu Ailing was looking for someone to repair the faucet, she had to take photos of each step and send it to the landlord.
The landlord came directly, and he didn't need to send it and cut off the payment record directly after the repair.
No matter how detailed and thoughtful the rental strategy is, it is difficult to compete with the unpredictability of people's hearts.
When young people are alone, it's always right to communicate diligently.
It's not wrong to pay more attention, think more about your own vital interests, and think more about your own living experience and mood.
If you really encounter something, don't be afraid, let the almighty netizens come up with ideas.
Put down the quality glue to block the keyhole, pick up the quality and rely on the law to govern the person, the little landlord is not the opponent of so many high-speed brains.
