Renting an apartment in Huangdao !
Being a newly arrived foreigner or newcomer to Huangdao is not easy ,especially when you also have to find a place to rent and call home. Here are some helpful advice on rening :
1.When renting an apartment , the post-rental service is more important than a good apartment , so make sure you have a good agent or landlord,especially if your Chinese language is limited.
2.Find out as much information about the apartment and the complex you are thinking of living in as you can. You may face extra costs that would be easier to deal with if you knew about them in advance. For example the property maintenance fee might be ridiculously high,or you have mayhave no heating during the winter because you didn’t pay the winter heating fee.(You must let the heating company know if you want heating before October 10 ,after which there is no changing your mind).
3.Decide on your payment method according to your situation up front . Don’t be surprised if the landlord asks you for one years rent in advance. More and more Chinese and foreigners are flooding into Huangdao every day making the rental market increasingly competitive;in turn , landlords have more choices with their perferred method and tenants .
4.Check to see if the facilities in the apartment are in working order.Generally , if something is broken during your contract the landlord will place the blame on you.Talk to your landlord in detail before you sign a contract,make sure everything is working properly and ask if any broken objects can be fixed or replaced. Also , take photos as evidence just in case as complications can arise .
5.If something is broken during your contract that you can’t fix yourself , contact your landlord of agent immediately and try to find an honest professional repairman who won’t overcharge you .
6.Pay your bills on time.For example ,if you haven’t paid your electricity bill , don’t be surprised if your power gets cut off .If you followed the first tip and have a good agent or landlord ,this process will be a lot easier.Alternatively,if you are fortunate enough to have a trusted Ayi(cleaner) you could ask her to take care of the bills for you .
7.Keep on good terms with your landlord . There are many benefits in keeping in touch but most importantly it will help you get your security deposit back when your contract ends,as long as your apartment doesn’t look like a hotel room for a touring Punk Rock band .
8.Make sure the landlord is the original landlord. When you sign a contract,he or she should provide you with the property ownership certificate , household register and ID card ----not only because of safety issuses , but you will also need those documents to register at the police station if you are a foreigner .
