Last summer I worked in St. Petersburg and, of course, I did not escape the fate of a tenant. As we know, this field of activity belongs to the agents. About what they are and how to avoid falling into the hands of the black brokers, I decided to tell our readers, for our city often receives guests, and are "film-making process" is identical in all major cities of Russia.
"Urgent rent studio apartment! City Center, telephone, furniture, 3000 rubles. No middlemen, "" Urgent rent a room in a two-room apartment, $ 1000. Host. Agency's call! "- Such ads with phone numbers papered half of Chelyabinsk. For the credibility of them can write by hand, because in order to earn a fraud, you will not regret any forces. And otkserokopirovat written piece of paper does not take much.
We all understand that the one-bedroom apartment in the center can not cost 3000 rubles. But nearly one in two people who are interested in rental housing, is being lured to save. And I called for such ads and that's what responses received.
- Hello! I'm calling the announcement about the apartment for 3000 rubles Street. Lenin.
- Unfortunately, this apartment is already rented, - a sad voice replied the girl - but we can offer you another option. You need a flat just outside of Lenin?
I offered to drive up to the office for a more detailed conversation. In the address you can stumble across a house where you will meet the "employee" of the company and will hold office for the iron door of an ordinary apartment. True, there you will see a couple of tables and chairs. No office equipment, people, papers and other accessories. Then you will be offered to pay about one and sometimes two thousand rubles, and then give a list of addresses for which shall be flat. And the more you will not see these people. Never. Do not rely on:
• Despite the fact that from these companies is deception a mile away, they continue to exist and make money. Unfortunately, many people enter into treaties with them. By signing the contract and received at the hands of a phone list with addresses and names, you say good-bye to these people forever. Addresses often fictional, but your contract with the telephone number the agency would be invented unnecessary piece of paper. As at the other end not to withdraw the tube, and the office will be closed for seven castles and neighbors say that no companies here did not exist. And even the contract specifies that the information was provided to you by the due date and all obligations have been fulfilled.
• It happens that the swindlers previously removed an apartment at a lower price, and then rent it, acting as host. In this case you should alert the required advance payment for several months in advance. What, of course, will speculator to cover the initial costs and earn.
• The fraudster may sign a lease, get money for the first month of residence and the sound of trumpets give you the sacred keys. But it is a pitiful person asked to wait a few days, citing the urgent removal of necessary things. Responsive and the grateful tenant, of course, could be in position swindler. A few days later find a dozen more of the same tenants under the door rent an apartment. You can trust:
• It is best to apply to the audited company. Typically, they operate in the market for over ten years. However, the employee will have to pay Agent in the amount of the monthly fee for renting the apartment. But you can be sure that you are not deceived. So I rented an apartment last year. On the left my cell number called every twenty minutes, and offered various options. And the money, including commissions, paid only on the fact I have inspected the apartment, familiarity with the owners and the signing of a bilateral treaty.
• Of course, not everyone wants to pay the agency, and there are cases when a person turns to the agency, and then attempts to negotiate with the landlord directly. But there is no guarantee that the owner, type of gear when they first met, will be established. And do not come to you with the district with the words: "What are you doing in my apartment? I do the first time I've seen. Therefore, if you choose to believe in their own power, act, at least, legally! No agent can find an apartment, but difficult. Be patient! Raskleyte ads in the right area, and even better in the newly-built house. There will certainly be purchased by parents caring for an apartment have not yet grown up children. Incidentally omniscient Ask your grandparents, sitting at the entrance. It is difficult to evaluate the result: you can call the next day, and maybe even a month. But hope dies last.
• Probably the most reliable option - to rent an apartment through a friend. They certainly did not issue you a prepaid flat yesterday. But only friends and acquaintances are not in every city.
