Chapter 100 The Difficult Landlord

Since the overall situation of the two houses is actually similar, although one has lived in it for a year, the foreign tenant obviously maintained a good deal, and it looked not much different from the new one, so Shi Lei had an idea.

"Can you ask the landlord to check out the house now?" Shi Lei asked.

The agent was happy again after hearing this. This is the rhythm of the transaction. Moreover, 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 eye value. Otherwise, if he had a better view, he would have long seen that Shi Lei was Armani. He would certainly not care about the rent of only a few thousand yuan when wearing a suit of 20,000 yuan per set.

"We have the keys for those who have never lived in a person, but the keys are in the hands of our supervisor. He is not here now, so it may take more than an hour to come and live far away. The set that foreigners have lived in should be fine. The keys are in the hands of their old lady, and the old lady lives nearby. With a phone call, it is estimated that she can go to see the house in ten minutes."

Shi Lei nodded and said, "In this way, you can contact your supervisor and the old landlord and the old lady. I will check and compare both apartments, okay?"

"No problem, no problem, I'll call now." The agent was overjoyed and took out his cell phone and started making calls. While dialing the number, he asked carefully: "Don't you ask about the price? Although the overall situation is similar, there is still a little difference in price."

"Don't worry, you can call first, and then tell me the price after calling."

The agent quickly got two phone calls. When their supervisor heard this, he naturally had no objection and said that he would come over to send the child home and that he would probably arrive within two hours. The old landlord happened to be taking a walk near the house and could pass by now.

After explaining the situation to Shi Lei, the agent said: "I'd better tell you the price. Now we want to go to see the house first. It's a little larger in area, 56 square meters, and the rent is the landlord's requirement is 6,550 a month, and it pays every year, and the deposit is half a year. But I personally think this can be negotiated. After all, no one pays a deposit of half a year. Her house is originally a relatively high. The three-month deposit should be negotiated. The rent is a little higher, and the reasonable price is around 6,200, so this can be negotiated. It's just that the other party bites it once a year, which is probably a bit difficult."

Shi Lei nodded and said, "This problem is not too big. What about the other situation?"

"Because the landlord fully authorized the deal for us, we also set the rent price for the landlord strictly according to the current market environment. He trusted us more, so it was 5,000-8 per month. He required a minimum deposit of two months, preferably three months. After all, he spent a lot of money to renovate this house, and he had not lived in it for a day, including the furniture and appliances, and he was also worried about damage. The rent would be paid in half a year, and it would be better if he was willing to pay it once a year."

Shi Lei said he had a clue and said, "Then let's go and see the house first, and let's talk about the other comparisons later."

Both houses are at the intersection of the street at the entrance of the school gate, only three or four hundred meters away from the school gate of Wuda’s dormitory area, and it takes five minutes to walk.

The old landlord was already waiting in the lobby on the first floor. When he saw the agent bringing Shi Lei over, his first sentence was to complain: "Why did I have been waiting for you for more than ten minutes for so long?"

The agent accompanied the smile and said, "It will take time for us to come here, so you can take more responsibility."

The old lady snorted, turned around and walked towards the elevator, and said as she walked, "I told you that I would rent the house in your agency, which is to make money for you. Look at my house for more than 6,000 yuan a month, and you can get more than 3,000 yuan by just getting a commission. You should do your best. This house has been in your hands for half a month, and you haven't rented it out for me, but I have looked at it twice. Is this reliable today? Don't let me go for a waste of time. I have also made me wait for you here for more than ten minutes."

The agent laughed all the way, but Shi Lei frowned. He had thought that the landlords of this family might be more difficult to get along with, but it didn't matter if they needed to meet each other when they paid the rent for one year. But unexpectedly, this old lady was so difficult to talk to.

Moreover, how could it be more than ten minutes? When the agent called, Shi Lei looked at the time. It was ten:31, but now it was only ten:39, eight minutes. It took five or six minutes to get over the agent.

Of course, Shi Lei didn't say anything, he just followed him upstairs.

The floor is pretty good, with more than twenty floors. The highest floor of this building is thirty-eighth. It is basically a medium and high-end position and is considered a relatively golden floor for high-rise residential buildings.

The distance between the house and the elevator is also suitable. It will not be too close, and it will not be noisy about the elevator entering and exiting, and it will not be pushed back. The outdoor sound can only be heard from the direction of the window. Overall, Shi Lei is quite satisfied with the location of the house.

The old lady kept talking, opened the door, turned around and said, "Did you bring your shoe covers? If you don't bring them, just take a look outside. If you take off your shoes, I'm afraid you young people are angry and smelly."

Shi Lei's brows became tighter and tighter. If he hadn't seen the agent keep smiling and wanted to make the deal, he would have left if he wanted to leave.

Fortunately, the agent must have brought brand new shoe covers with him. He gave Shi Lei a pair and whispered apologies. The two followed the old lady into the house.

It is no different from the photos. The house is well maintained. If it were not for the agency's disclosure, Shi Lei would not have seen any signs of living in it. It seems that the foreigner spent less time in the house, which is just coming back to have a sleep.

The old lady looked up and down at this time and suddenly asked, "What are you doing? Do you know how much my house costs a month?"

Shi Lei forced a smile and said, "The agent has told me everything." After passing the old lady, Shi Lei opened the bathroom door and wanted to see what was going on in the bathroom.

"I'll tell you, young man, I spent a lot of money to decorate this house. I lived in a foreigner before, do you know? The foreigner's quality is very high. If it weren't for the foreigner's living, I wouldn't have spent so much money to redecorate it. The furniture and appliances here are all newly bought, and all the appliances are Philips, and the prices are very high. If you rent my house, you must cherish it. If you make the furniture and appliances scratch or something, I will deduct your deposit."

Shi Lei looked back at the old lady, too lazy to pay attention to her.

The old lady was still saying, "By the way, I asked you what you did just now, but you haven't told me yet."

"This is not important, it will naturally be explained when signing the contract. I'll take a look at the house first, okay?" Shi Lei was neither humble nor arrogant, but he was already very dissatisfied with the landlord.

"The young man is pretty and handsome. Why do you speak so frivolously? I'll ask you what's wrong? If you want to rent my house, of course I have to figure out what you do. If you make some messy flowers in my house, that's not OK. My house used to be a foreigner, and the quality of others is very high. After living in it for a year, I never mess around with the house. My decoration is so good, of course I have to ask more."

Shi Lei was already a little annoyed and replied directly: "Then he had left early after breach of contract? He didn't see how high his quality is. The quality is so high, so I will pay you all the three-year rent. Is the house very empty?"

The old lady was so choked by this sentence that she couldn't speak.
