Chapter 100 The Difficult Landlord
Since the overall conditions of the two houses are actually similar, even though one house has been lived in for a year, the foreigner tenant obviously maintained it well, and it doesn't look much different from the new one, so Shi Lei had an idea.
"Can I invite the landlord to see the house now?" Shi Lei asked.
The intermediary was overjoyed after hearing this, this is the rhythm of the deal, and, until now, Shi Lei has never asked a question about the price, it seems that this young man is really not short of money.
He really doesn't have much discernment, otherwise, with a better perspective, he should have seen that Shi Lei's body is Armani, wearing a suit of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, of course he wouldn't care about the rent of a few thousand yuan .
"We have the key to the apartment that no one has lived in, but the key is in the hands of our supervisor. He is not around now. It may take more than an hour to come here, and the residence is far away. The apartment that foreigners have lived in should be fine. The key is in the hands of their old lady, who lives nearby, and with a phone call, it is estimated that they can go to see the house in ten minutes."
Shi Lei nodded, and said: "Well, you can contact your supervisor and the old lady of the landlady, and I will take a look at both apartments, okay?"
"No problem, no problem, I'll make a call now." The intermediary was overjoyed, took out his mobile phone and started calling, while dialing the number, he asked carefully: "Don't you ask the price? Although the overall situation There is still a little difference in price."
"Don't worry, just call first, and tell me the price after the call."
The intermediary quickly settled two calls. When the supervisor heard it, he naturally had no objection, saying that he would come over after sending the child home, and it was estimated that he would arrive within two hours. And the old landlady happened to be walking around the house, so she could go there now.
After explaining the situation to Shi Lei, the intermediary said, "Let me tell you about the price. The house we are going to look at now has a slightly larger area, fifty-six square meters, and the rent. The landlord's request is 6,500 a month, paid once a year, the deposit is half a year's rent. But I personally think this can be discussed, after all, no one rents a house without a half-year deposit. The rent of her house is relatively high. Three months The deposit should be negotiable. The rent is also a little bit high, and the reasonable price is around 6,200, which is also negotiable. It’s just that it’s more difficult to pay the other party once a year. "
Shi Lei nodded, and said: "This problem is not too big, what about the other situation?"
"The landlord authorized us to deal with that set, and we set the rent price for the landlord strictly according to the current market environment. He trusts us more, so it is 5,800 a month. He requires a minimum deposit of two Months, preferably three months. After all, he spent a lot of money to renovate this house, and he hasn’t lived in it for a day. The furniture and appliances are all brand new. He is also worried about damage. The rent is half a year. Just hand it in, and it’s even better if you want to hand it in once a year.”
Shi Lei said that he knew it, and said: "Then let's go to see the house first, and then talk about other comparisons."
The two houses are at the intersection of the school gate, only three or four hundred meters away from the school gate of Wuda's dormitory area, and it takes only five minutes to walk there.
The landlady's old lady was already waiting in the lobby on the first floor. Seeing the agent bring Shi Lei over, her first sentence was to complain: "Why have you been doing this for so long? I've been waiting for you for more than ten minutes."
The intermediary said with a smile on his face, "It will take time for us to come here, please bear with us."
The old lady snorted, turned around and walked towards the elevator, and said as she walked, "Let me tell you, I rent out the house through your agency to make money for you. Look at my house for more than 6,000 a month, you guys You can get more than 3,000 yuan for your achievements alone. You should work harder. This house has been in your hands for half a month, and you haven’t rented it out for me. Unreliable? Don't let me go in vain again. It also made me wait for you here for more than ten minutes."
The agent laughed along with him all the way, but Shi Lei frowned. He thought that the landlord of this house might be difficult to get along with, but it doesn't matter if he thinks that once he pays the rent for one year, he will have to meet with him when he pays the rent for the next year. up. Unexpectedly, this old lady was so difficult to speak.
Moreover, how can there be more than ten minutes? When the agency called, Shi Lei checked the time, it was 10:31, and now it was only 10:39, only eight minutes, and it would take five or six minutes to walk from the agency.
Of course Shi Lei didn't want to say anything, he just followed upstairs.
The floors are not bad, with more than 20 floors, and the highest floor of this building is 38 floors, which is basically a middle-high position, and it can be regarded as a relatively golden floor for high-rise residential buildings.
The distance between the house and the elevator is also suitable, not too close, so it will not be noisy when the elevator enters and exits, and it is not close to the side, so the outdoor sound can only come in from the direction of the window. Overall, Shi Lei is quite satisfied with the location of the house.
The old lady kept chattering, opened the door, turned her head and stared and said, "Have you brought your shoe covers? If you haven't, you can take a look outside. If you take off your shoes, I'm afraid you young people will get angry and have stinky feet."
Shi Lei's frown became even tighter. If he hadn't seen the agent's smiling face trying to close the deal, he really wanted to leave without hesitation.
Fortunately, the agents must have brand new shoe covers with them, so they gave Shi Lei a pair, said sorry in a low voice, and the two followed the old lady into the house.
It was no different from the photo, the house was indeed in good condition, if it wasn't revealed by the agent, Shi Lei wouldn't be able to see the traces of people living there. It seems that the foreigner spends relatively little time in the house, just coming back to sleep.
At this moment, the old lady looked Shi Lei up and down, and asked abruptly: "What do you do? Do you know how much my house costs per month?"
Shi Lei forced a smile, and said: "The agent has already told me." Passing past the old lady, Shi Lei opened the bathroom door, wanting to see the situation in the bathroom.
"Let me tell you, young man, I spent a lot of money to renovate this house. You know that a foreigner lived in it before? The quality of a foreigner is very high. If it wasn't for the foreigner who wanted to live, I wouldn't have spent so much money. Redecorated. The furniture and home appliances here are all newly bought. All the appliances are Philips, and the price is very high. If you rent my house, you must take good care of it. If there are scratches on the furniture and home appliances , I want to deduct your deposit."
Shi Lei turned his head to look at the old lady, he was really too lazy to talk to her.
The old lady was still saying, "By the way, I just asked what you do, but you haven't told me yet."
"It's not important, it will be explained when signing the contract. Let me see the house first, okay?" Shi Lei was neither humble nor overbearing, but he was already very dissatisfied with the landlord in his heart.
"The young man has a pretty face. Why do you speak so awkwardly? Let me ask you what's wrong? You want to rent my house, of course I have to find out what you do. In case you make some messy tricks in my house Well, that’s not acceptable. My house used to be lived by a foreigner, and the quality of the people is very high. I’ve lived in it for a year, and I’ve never made any mess in the house. My decoration is so good, so of course I need to ask more.”
Shi Lei was already a little annoyed, so he replied directly: "Then he broke the contract and left early? I don't see how high-quality it is. The quality is so high that I will pay you the rent for three years, and the house will be vacant." ?”
The old lady was choked by this sentence and was speechless.
