Chapter 323 "Flood Sweeping" Room
Chapter 323 "Flood Sweeping" Room
Mo Songru immediately said, "This house has a leak."
They found a place with the strongest smell of mold, lifted up the carpet and wallpaper, and saw dense black and gray mold spots everywhere.
Some have green and white hair.
Jiang Baige couldn't help it, she burped, covered her mouth and ran out.
After a while, other people followed out of the house.
She heard Xin Zhiping say to the agent in a very dissatisfied tone: "You introduced this kind of house to us, don't you want to do our business?"
The agent nodded and bowed: "Oh, how can that be possible? This house has not been taken care of yet..."
The store manager also said: "Yes! If you rent it, we will definitely clean it up first."
Shit.
Jiang Baige cursed inwardly.
It’s not like she had not rented a house in Anjing in her previous life.
Before signing the contract, these people call you sister or aunt in a friendly manner, and tell you about things like the house is leaking, there is noise upstairs, or things are not fully equipped, and they all say "No problem, no problem, we will definitely take care of it", and then they trick you into signing the contract first.
Once the contract was signed, the agency fee, deposit, and three months' rent were paid, his face changed immediately.
"Oh, we can't fix this water leak."
"Noise? You need to talk to the people upstairs about that."
"Refrigerator? That's not our business."
"The washing machine is broken? Then find a technician to fix it yourself... Yes, the same goes for the toilet and the sewer."
……
So, they won't care about water leaks or mold. After living in the house for a year, if the wallpaper breaks or the carpet stinks, they may ask you to pay for it.
This is An Jing’s agency.
Jiang Baige interrupted the argument between the agent and Xin Zhiping - Xin Zhiping should be the one with the least experience in renting a house among the three.
"Okay, stop talking. We definitely won't rent a house with such serious leaks."
To say it's leaking is an understatement.
Judging from the extent of the musty smell and mildew, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was like a flood.
I really don’t know how the landlord did it, and I don’t know how such a house can enter the rental market so openly and be called a “high-quality property”.
This is just like the "high-quality men" in the blind date market, it's simply a scam.
Jiang Baige couldn't help but borrow a popular Internet phrase from the previous life: "The Chinese have their own 'Northern Myanmar': real estate."
Seeing that Jiang Baige and the others were not fooled, the agent must have been anxious.
But before the fish takes the bait, they have to keep calm: "Why don't we go to another community? Xiao Li, you go drive first..."
"Why don't we stop here today?" Mo Songru suddenly said, "It's hot today, and my friend isn't feeling well..."
Jiang Baige and Xin Zhiping were a little surprised, but Xin Zhiping still had some tacit understanding with her: "Yes, you guys pick some more suitable houses, and we'll come back to see them in a couple of days."
The agent looked somewhat discouraged.
But since they all said so, there was nothing they could do.
Perhaps the deal didn't go through, because when they left, they didn't even ask whether they should be taken to the subway station.
Jiang Baige sat on the chair for a while and was about to ask about the next plan.
Suddenly, an old man wearing a mask walked up to them. They thought he wanted to sit down and rest, so they stood up and offered him their seats—they were going home anyway.
The man called out to them, "Girls, do you want to rent a house in this community?"
The three of them stopped at the same time.
The man took off his mask and looked to be in his sixties. He was smiling and seemed kind, not too wretched.
He pointed to a house not far away: "My house is nearby, do you want to go and have a look?"
Jiang Baige and the others were a little hesitant.
Although it is normal for the landlord to rent directly, it is still a bit strange that a stranger suddenly comes out and asks you if you want to see his house.
The man added, "Don't worry, I've lived in this community for more than ten years. As you know, this was built with funds from several of our factories. The elderly people living in the community now are all our former co-workers. We know them well and they are very safe."
As he was speaking, someone greeted her.
"Old He, are you selling your house again?" the man asked with a smile.
The man called Lao He also smiled and replied, "That's right. You can't keep your son when he grows up. I've prepared a wedding house for him. He found a foreigner and wants to get married abroad. What can I do?"
"Your son is promising. He earns money from foreigners for you to spend."
Old He smiled widely, but he was still modest: "Expenses abroad are high, so I thought of renting out the house to help him..."
After the conversation over there was over, Lao He turned his attention back to Jiang Baige and the other two: "My house is a three-bedroom apartment, originally it was for my child to get married... but after it was renovated, he didn't come back."
"Then why don't you live there yourself? The newly renovated house will be so comfortable to live in." Xin Zhiping asked back.
Old He waved his hand and said, "I'm used to living in my own house. Besides, I live on the first floor facing south now. I have built a small yard where I grow flowers, fruits, vegetables and so on. My son's floor is high, so it's not convenient to grow flowers and vegetables. It's more suitable for you young people..."
This makes sense.
Mo Songru asked again: "So you have been looking for tenants in the yard?"
"How can that be possible?" Old He laughed. He looked very simple and honest, not at all like a landlord who owned multiple properties. "The agent has approached me several times... If I can't rent it out, I have no choice but to contact them."
As he spoke, he glanced at the three of them again: "To be honest, the agency renting the house makes money on both ends. We don't know who they will rent the house to... but you are good girls at first glance. I am old and I am good at judging people. If you rent the whole house directly, I can receive the rent immediately, and you can also save the agency fee. Isn't it a win-win situation?"
These words really moved Jiang Baige and the others.
Seeing that they had not made up their minds yet, Lao He asked the three of them to discuss it again.
"I'm not afraid to tell you. I'm really anxious to rent out the house so that I can raise some money for my son's wedding..."
Just at this time, some old acquaintances of Lao He came out for a walk, so he walked aside to chat, leaving the space for them.
Jiang Baige asked in a low voice: "Do you think it's reliable?"
"I don't know... I've never encountered this before." Mo Songru shrugged. "But, for the three of us, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Xin Zhiping nodded: "I think so too...it's all out anyway."
So, the three of them discussed it and decided to follow Lao He to his house to take a look.
The house is not far away, and there are shade trees all along the way, which is quite comfortable. Once you enter the building, it is even cooler. The corridor is also very clean.
Come out of the elevator and turn a corner to see Lao He’s house.
The windows were open, and Lao He turned on the air conditioner. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they felt the cool breeze.
Mo Songru couldn't help but open his arms: "This is the right time to come!"
