Gazing at the Rainbow

Lin Yao returned to Hangzhou on Saturday afternoon.

During the week she went to Guangzhou, she stayed at the exhibition during the day and had to deal with work late at night. She didn't have time to review the materials for the postgraduate entrance examination. So when she got home, she gave herself a set of real questions.

At night, when Lin Yao was addicted to Tihai and couldn't help herself, her cell phone rang.

Lin Yao couldn't help but wonder, who would call her at this time? The caller ID is Zhang Xiang, her landlord.

Lin Yao hurriedly answered the phone, "Hello."

Zhang Xiang said with dissatisfaction: "I said what's the matter with you, can you still rent my house?"

Lin Yao realized that the lease of her house was about to expire, "It's rented, I rented it! I don't know when will it be convenient for you to renew the contract?"

Zhang Xiang snorted coldly, "But I don't want to rent it to you."

Lin Yao was very puzzled: "Why?" I thought that when she rented a house in the east of the city, when she left, the landlord's wife over there tried to keep her... Why did she get to Zhang Xiang's place, but she fell to the point of being swept out?

"Why? Because I don't want to rent my house to you anymore." Zhang Xiang snorted and said in a disdainful tone: "I have so many tenants who pay the rent to me in advance. Only you, the price is too low. Having said that, every time I get stuck in paying the rent."

Zhang Xiang's age is a few years older than Lin Yao. He said "so many tenants", meaning there are many houses under his name?

Why is the gap between people so big?

Lin Yao was hit...

This is not the point, the point is that Zhang Xiang is very dissatisfied with her!

Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, and pleaded: "However, the contract stipulates that the rent payment time is 25 days. I paid the rent on the 25th, and it has never been extended."

It is also a fact that it is never in advance.

"But the contract says it will be before the 25th!" The landlord said in a huff: "Other tenants pay half a year or pay directly every year. If you want, you will only have that little money in total, and you will have to pay every three months. I I'm not happy to rent a house to you!"

So, what does he really mind if he pays every three months?

Lin Yao was very tight when she rented this house, so she almost broke her lips at the time, and then asked Zhang Xiang to agree to pay three bets.

The current situation is different, and one payment in half a year is no longer a problem for Lin Yao.

The only problem is that due to the temperament of the tenant Xiao Li, she may not agree to change from one payment every three months to one half a year, but that is not a big problem.

"Is that so?" Lin Yao pondered: "Then I will pay half a year too, okay?"

"No!" Zhang Xiang refused without thinking, "I don't want to think about how much the house price in Hangzhou has risen in the past year? Do you still want to rent my house at such a low price?"

He wants to increase the rent?

Lin Yao's hand holding the pen tightened tightly. Recently, the housing prices in Hangzhou have indeed risen rapidly.

She tentatively asked: "Then how much are you going to rent?"

Zhang Xiang was prepared, he said a number casually, and emphasized, "I will not rent below this number."

Lin Yao has not paid attention to housing prices, but she has a good memory and has accidentally seen reports about housing price increases.

She blurted out, "In the past year, house prices in Hangzhou have risen by less than 30%, but you want to increase my rent by 50%?"

"It's up to you!" Zhang Xiang said bluntly, "I love renting, not renting!"

The house price has risen since the end of last year. When Lin Yao rented the house, it hadn't started yet.

Lin Yao tried to communicate with Zhang Xiang, "The house price has risen, but it hasn't risen by as much as 50%, and the house I live in is still the same, and it doesn't make you add anything. It doesn't make sense to suddenly increase the rent so much, right?"

When talking about this, Zhang Xiang felt painful, "I didn't count the 30% increase last year with you. I don't know how much the increase will be in the next year. I only increased 50%, which is already considered a small amount. Is it possible that the rent of a house with a total price of one million yuan will still be the same as before after the value of a house worth three million yuan?”

It is indeed impossible.

Lin Yao was speechless. It wasn't that she didn't agree with the price increase, but she couldn't accept a 50% increase in rent all at once.

"Impossible!" Zhang Xiang said in a mocking tone, "The rent will increase by 50%, and the rent will be paid every six months, otherwise it will be skipped.

There was no room for negotiation, Lin Yao sighed secretly, "Then I will think about it."

"You'd better give me an accurate answer tomorrow." Zhang Xiang sneered, threateningly: "If it delays my finding a new tenant, you will bear the corresponding loss!"

He has already decided that he can't afford to rent this house, and can't wait to sweep himself out.

Lin Yao helplessly, "Okay, I will reply to you tomorrow."

Zhang Xiang hung up the phone arrogantly.

Lin Yao sits weakly on the small bed. It's not that she can't afford the rent, but why?

In the past few years in Hangzhou, what makes her most distressed is that whenever she saves a little money, she should pay the rent.

Finally, wages have risen, and so have rents.

So what is the point of her hard work?

The rental contract signed by Lin Yao and the landlord is one year, and it will expire in one week.

If she disagrees with the price increase, then she will soon move again...

Lin Yao glanced at the new room decorated by herself a few months ago, and felt infinite sadness in her heart.

However, she doesn't have time to grieve. She has a lot to do, such as saying hello to the person next door.

Lin Yao got up and knocked on Xiao Li's door next door.

Xiao Li was applying a facial mask, and she rolled her eyes displeasedly, "Looking for me so late, what's the matter?"

Lin Yao opened the door and said: "The landlord called me just now and said that the rent would be increased."

Xiao Li was taken aback, took off the mask, and asked, "How much?"

Lin Yao simply repeated the landlord's request, "The rent will increase by 50%, and the rent will be paid every six months."

"What?" Xiao Li was so startled that his eyes were about to fall out, "This is too ridiculous, right? You promised him? Tell you, I don't agree!"

Lin Yao knew that she was reacting like this, so she looked at her for a while, "Then what are you going to do?"

Xiao Li's eyes turned quickly, and he said, "You will pay the landlord as much as you promised, but I will pay you the original rent, or three months."

For a moment, Lin Yao wanted to look in the mirror. Does she look like a fool?

"You mean, I will bear 75% of the rent in the future, while the two of you will only bear 25%?"

Xiao Li took it for granted: "I don't care what you talk about with the landlord. Anyway, I'll follow our contract."

Lin Yao twitched, "I only signed a three-month rental contract with you, and it will expire in one week."

"how can that be?"

Xiao Li hurriedly returned to the room and found the contract through the boxes and cabinets. The contract was signed for three months!

At that time, she only looked at the rent and hurriedly signed it.

Who would have thought that the lease term is only three months!

"Where does anyone rent a house for three months? Are you kidding me?" Xiao Li said angrily: "In the beginning, you said you would renew your contract with the landlord, so I moved in. Otherwise, who would be happy to move once every three months? "

Moving once every three months is really a painful thing. Lin Yao understands this feeling better than anyone else. She sighed, "I want to renew the rent, but the landlord asked for a 50% rent increase. Pay every month, otherwise no talk."

Xiao Li sneered, "You are responsible for what you promised to the end!"

Lin Yao explained: "You should know that it's not that I want to increase the rent, but the landlord's request. The landlord said that if we disagree, we will move out."

Xiao Li snorted coldly, "I don't believe that the landlord can be so unkind, and why did he suddenly ask for such a rent increase? Did you offend him?"

The landlord wants to increase the rent and blame her?

Lin Yao didn't want to care about her a little bit, but she still patiently explained: "I can't believe it, but he really asked for it. I am discussing with you now to see if I want to continue renting this house. It won't work. Let's Also according to the contract."

Their contract expires in a week.

Xiao Li was angry and didn't call, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Call me the landlord and I will tell him!"

The problem is that the landlord doesn’t know who she is. It’s useful for her to call the landlord?

But if Lin Yao doesn't give it, she probably won't stop.

Lin Yao closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and said, "I can give you the landlord's phone number, but I want to remind you that his attitude is not very good."

Xiao Li raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and she didn't believe that the landlord would really rise so much. It must be Lin Yao who made trouble.

She is definitely not reconciled to paying so much rent by herself, so, as an excuse that the landlord is going to increase the price, she actually wants to make herself bear more.

The more Xiao Li thinks about it, the more it feels like this!

She must expose Lin Yao's tricks!

Xiao Li's tone is not without sarcasm, "I don't know how you offended the landlord so badly. There is no room for trouble. I can only deal with it."

Lin Yao saw Xiao Li's careful thinking, but she didn't bother to care about it, "I didn't offend the landlord. The reason for his rent increase is that the house price has risen."

Xiao Li was taken aback. In the past year, Hangzhou's housing prices have gone up like crazy.

Three months ago, her former landlord proposed a price increase because of this. She saw Lin Yao's share-renting advertisement on the Internet and moved in.

As a result, the landlord here has to increase the rent.

Didn't she move for nothing?

She was unwilling to say: "You call me the landlord, I will tell him!"

Lin Yao glanced at Xiao Li, entered the house and took out the rental contract that she had signed with the landlord, and placed it in front of Xiao Li.

"The landlord's phone number is on it."

Lin Yao's attitude was open and calm, which seemed to be different from what she thought.

Xiao Li gritted his teeth and dialed Zhang Xiang's phone. Her face immediately switched to a lovely smile, and said softly, "Hello! Is this Mr. Zhang? Me? Uh, I am Chaoyang Community No. 1 The building here, yes, I live with Lin Yao, I want to discuss with you about the rent. I believe you also know that our girls are more clean, we rent your house...Hello? !"

Xiao Li looked at the cell phone that had already displayed the end of the call with a stunned look, and only reacted for a while, "He, he hung up my phone! He actually hung up my phone! Hey..."

Xiao Li cried and went to her boyfriend for comfort. Lin Yao said to her back, "The landlord wants us to give him accurate information tomorrow, otherwise we will deduct our deposit?"

Xiao Li was angry, and she turned around and said with tears: "Why? Why is he? We didn't pay less rent, and we didn't pay rent late, and we made his house so clean. Why should he deduct the deposit? "

Lin Yao sighed, "Why? Just because he is the landlord, who he wants to rent to and whom he doesn't want to rent to, this is his freedom."

Xiao Li was so wronged that he choked and said, "Is it great to have a house?"

"It's better to have a house than no house!" Lin Yao sighed and reiterated: "The landlord has increased the rent. I will bear 60% at most. The decision is up to you to rent or not to rent. I have made things clear to you. You can consider other things for yourself, and you can also take the opportunity to look at them online and compare them."

"Boom!"

Xiao Li deliberately slammed the door in front of her.

She understands Xiao Li's grievances, but she is also helpless. She bears 60% of the rent alone, and the two of them bear 40% of the rent. This is the limit she can accept.

If they disagree, go separate ways.

Lin Yao shook her head and returned to her house.

She originally thought this would be her own comfort zone, who would have thought that she would move out in just a few months.

Lin Yao glanced at the real question that was half done on the table, and was not in the mood to do it. She simply put away the real question, turned on the computer, and searched for nearby housing.

The room was quiet, except for the sound of her typing on the keyboard and mouse.

It was so quiet that she could hear Xiao Li's intermittent crying from the small room next to her.

It's great to have a boyfriend. There is a place to cry when she is wronged. She is more miserable and has to carry everything herself.

I don't know why, Xiao Li's phrase "Is it great to have a house?" kept circling her ears.

Is it great to have a house?

of course.

For a working class like Lin Yao, the most desirable thing is to own her own house. Even if it is not big, new, or luxurious, it will at least allow her to say goodbye to the lack of a permanent home.

When will she have her own house?

Lin Yao's heart moved. Her savings had exceeded the 100,000 mark. With the meter yuan given by Mr. Wen and the commission from Ling Yun, all her assets had reached more than 300,000.

It is impossible to buy a house in full, what about a mortgage?

The big one cannot afford it, but the small one?

Can't afford the city center, what about the surrounding ones?

Thinking of this, Lin Yao suddenly felt energetic.

After checking the listings carefully, she found that although the housing prices in the urban area rose rapidly, the increase was mainly in the new houses in the urban area, and the prices of the old houses were relatively stable.

The same is true for the surrounding houses, and the increase is limited.

In other words, her house purchase plan can be implemented in advance.

******

Early the next morning, the tenant, Xiao Li Hong, said to Lin Yao, "Tell the landlord that I will not rent his little broken house!"

Lin Yao was prepared for this and asked casually, "What are your plans next?"

"What else can I plan? Find a house. As you said, the house belongs to the landlord. He wants to rent it to whom and how much rent is his freedom." Xiao Li sighed softly and continued: "My boyfriend He said that the rent on the side where his colleague rented the house was much cheaper, and they were paid every three months. Some good-talking landlords paid once a month. But the environment there was not so good, I didn’t want to go. Now, I I don't want to deal with the black-hearted landlord anymore."

Lin Yao knew the house she was talking about. It was like this when she lived in the east of the city, but she would never return to the east of the city.

However, the black-hearted landlord?

Lin Yao raised her eyebrows.

Zhang Xiang had many houses at a young age. A proper winner in life, he looked down upon Lin Yao, a poor tenant who had to bargain for renting a house and bargaining for rent. This is normal.

If you want people to be admirable, then become stronger by yourself!

After Lin Yao got a clear answer from Xiao Li, she called the landlord, "Zhang Xiang, discuss something with you."

Zhang Xiang hasn't woken up yet, "If you want to bargain with me again, I advise you to rest your mind!"

"I'm not bargaining with you." Lin Yao smiled and said, "I'm just asking, have you not found a good new tenant yet?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiang hesitated: "What do you want to do?"

Lin Yao suggested: "Since you haven't found a new tenant, let me stay for another month. There should be no problem? In this way, you don't have to refund my deposit."

Live one month more with the one-month rent that was originally pledged?

"No!" Zhang Xiang yelled on the spot, "I'm thankful then."

"Why are you at a loss?" Lin Yao analyzed: "After I move out, you must not spend time looking for new tenants? It is not easy to find new tenants according to your current rent? But now the house price is still rising, you are sure Will find tenants slowly, right?"

If he is anxious to rent out, he can only ask for a low price.

If he slowly finds new tenants, there will be no rent in the free time.

Zhang Xiang brought up the spirit~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and asked, "So what?"

Lin Yao suggested: "While I am staying here temporarily, can I still help you with sanitation? Guarantee to welcome the tenants who come to see the house in the best condition."

Zhang Xiang hesitated and said, "Is that so?"

Lin Yao gave another strong medicine, "When people came to see the house, I also praised this house and you by the way, how about it? Isn't it done?"

"You can have this." Zhang Xiang smiled, "But after a month, if I find a tenant..."

"I only live for a month, and I will never stay away." Lin Yao joked: "Where do you suffer, it is clear that you have lost the price for a month."

Zhang Xiang does not want to leave the house vacant, let alone take out the money already in his pocket, "Okay, deal!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

This month should be enough for her to find a suitable house!
