What should foreigners know about when they rent an apartment in Qingdao ?

1. when foreigners rent an apartment ,the post rental service is much more important than a good apartment , make sure you get a good agent , or good landlord ……..
2. know the detailed information of the apartment , for example , how much is the property management fee and so on , sometimes there will be some problems about the apartment you should really know in advance , maybe the property management fee is freakishly high ,or there is no heating in winter and so on…..
3. decide on your payment way for the apartment according to your situation .when the landlord asks you for one year pay , don’t be surprised , chinese landlords become more and more picky , because thare are more and more tenants in Qingdaowhich situation asks for more and more apartments . This makes Chinese landlords more and more picky . Anyway ,bla bla bla ,,,,,,
4. check out if all the things in the apartment belongs to the landlord are ok ,because generally , during your contract if something is broken , the landlord will put the blame on you . So ,you should talk to your landlord in detail at the beginning , make sure everything is ok exactly , and also if some brokern places couldn’t be fixed , take many photos of it as evidences …..
5. during your contract , if something is broker , contact your agent or the landlord imediately and fix it , try to find some professional repaireman and don’t let them overcharge you .
6. pay the fees on time . for example , electricity bill , that’s one fee you must pay on time , otherwise , the State Grid will cut your electric , sometimes you can ask your agent or the landlord to pay it for you , because maybe it is a little complicated to pay it for foreigners .
7. keep in touch with your landlord , there are several reasons , one of them is that it will help you get your security deposit back when your contract ends …….
