Young people should know the basics of renting accommodation before they hand over their money.
◎Deal with agent: In many cases, you'll have to work with an agent before finding an apartment,
because they have all the information. Find a large, reputable property agent. Small agents (especially those
that are unregistered), might cheat you by offering a good place with low rent. In many cases, they'll ask
for commission (佣金) before showing you the apartment. And they'll raise the rent afterwards.
◎Before you rent: Make sure you read the rental agreement carefully and ask for advice about anything
you don't understand. Make sure that once you sign a rental contract, you will receive a copy. Keep all the
paperwork you receive, such as receipts for rent and paid bills. They are proofs. If dispute arises, they will
be vital.
◎Upfront costs: Moving into rental accommodation can be fairly expensive to start. You will usually be
asked for three month's rent in advance and a deposit (押金),which is one month's rent. If the place is not
fully furnished, you may have to buy things like a mattress, refrigerator and washing machine. You need to
be financially prepared in advance.
◎Sharing with friends: If you intend to share an apartment with friends, make sure you discuss costs
and possible house rules before you make a promise. There will be ongoing expense, so consider collecting
separate contributions (定期缴款) towards regular bills such as electricity, phone or gas. Put this money
into a special purpose bank account.
◎Damage control: If any damage is made to your apartment either by you or your visitors, whether it
is accidental or not, make sure you tell your landlord about it. Remember, you are required to leave the
place in the same condition as when you moved in. You will have to pay for any damage that is not
considered to be reasonable"wear and tear".
◎Before you move out: You usually need to tell the landlord one month in advance. Clean your room
(or apartment) before you leave. Ask for a refund (return) of your deposit.
B. knows where there are houses to rent
C. may ask the landlord for commission
D. will help you sign a favourable contract
B. at most $400
C. more than $400
D. as mush as possible
B. Collect separate money in advance
C. Pay in turn
D. Contribute separately
B. the apartment clean
C. the apartment as you like
D. the idea of "wear and tear"
