Chapter 97 The Landlord
Li Da can only look for a house here by himself. There are no intermediaries in this small county, and there are not many people posting information online now.
The supermarket aunt has the best information.
So Li Da went in and bought a bottle of mineral water, and then asked: "Auntie, is there anyone renting a house nearby?"
While making change for Li Da, the aunt who ran the supermarket thought carefully and said: "There are not many people renting out in our community. If you go to Youhe Community on Xianfeng Road, it is an older community. There will be more rentals there."
One o'clock, you can go over there and ask."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
Li Da thought for a while and found that the school is not far from the Xianfeng Road side. It takes about fifteen minutes to walk to the school.
Walking around on a bicycle, I found that the community is indeed much older than the previous one, which can be seen from the exterior walls of the buildings.
However, as long as the internal conditions are good, clean and tidy, it can meet Li Da's requirements.
It’s still the old routine, go to the supermarket in the community and ask, don’t forget to buy something, buying a bottle of mineral water is a sign of respect for the boss.
"I know this. Teacher Li happens to have a house to rent. My dear, how big do you want to rent it?"
Li Da: "..."
I'm so tall and big, you call me a kid?
I'm 1.77 meters tall!
Well, as time passed, Li Da grew four centimeters taller.
I don’t know how he grew, but Li Da was taller before he knew it.
Based on my current appetite, I may be able to grow a few centimeters more.
However, the owner of the supermarket was an old man with a gray beard. Li Da felt that there was nothing wrong with the child and could not refute.
"It's okay. We can discuss it with the landlord then and check out the house first."
"Okay, I'll give Teacher Li a call."
As he said that, the old man called the landlord in a loud voice and said that someone wanted to rent a house here and asked her to come over.
After making the call, the uncle said to Li Da again: "Just wait, we will be here soon."
"Thank you, uncle."
Li Da expressed his thanks again, then waited and bought another ice cream.
About ten minutes later, a small electric donkey parked outside the supermarket.
"Uncle Cai, where is the housekeeper?"
The old man pointed at Li Da, and Li Da also looked at the woman who might become his landlord.
She is probably in her thirties. She looks quite young and must be in her fourth year. Judging from her face, she should be a stern person.
Of course, Li Da didn't know the metaphysics of fortune telling, he was just guessing based on his own experience.
It is true that appearance comes from the heart. It may be a bit metaphysical, but one can judge a person's character from his appearance.
Of course, the error rate is high.
The specifics will only be known after contact.
"It's me, hello auntie."
Li Da stood up to say hello.
"You live alone?"
"Yes, I am a student of Luming Middle School and plan to live outside the school."
Li Da looked very polite and distinguished, like a good student.
Li Yu subconsciously looked at Li Da with the eyes of judging students, but thinking about Li Da living alone, she felt that this house might not be easy to rent.
"My house has two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. It's not affordable for you to live alone."
Li Yu has already given up somewhat.
Li Da thought that most of the communities around here have this configuration, because they are just a small county here, unlike Junsha, where there are so many migrant workers, so most of the people working and living here are locals.
, no need to rent a house.
Therefore, there will be no one-bedroom houses specially built for rent, or two-bedroom houses and one living room. Li Da should only be able to find this kind of house.
"Auntie, I think you can still consider it. Why don't I just rent your one room and one living room, and you can close the other room to put the sundries, right?"
Li Da has learned that this kind of operation is common.
After hearing what he said, Li Yu thought it was okay and said: "Okay, you come with me to see the house."
Asking the supermarket man to take a look at the bicycle, Li Da got on Li Yu's electric bicycle.
Li Da also paid attention to keeping a sufficient distance from the other party. Although there was a big age difference between them, there were differences between men and women after all.
The electric car only walked for a few minutes before stopping under a building.
"The house is on the fourth floor."
Li Yu said, then led Li Da up and opened the house. There was a slight smell of wood inside.
Because no one has lived there for a while, the floor is tiled and the walls are white but a little yellowed. The living room is quite large and there is an independent kitchen and bathroom.
"The refrigerator and washing machine here are old. The air conditioner is only available in the second bedroom. If you want to rent, rent the second bedroom. The second bedroom is about the same size as the master bedroom."
Li Da went in and took a look. It was indeed like this. The furniture was all ready-made.
"How much is the rent?"
Li Da asked.
"Originally, the full package costs 500 yuan a month, but if you rent one less room, I will charge you 300 yuan a month. But I have agreed first that I can rent the vacant room to others. However, when the time comes,
I will let you discuss how to pay the rent when the time comes, and I will also consider your opinions."
Li Da: "..."
So cheap.
However, it is not difficult to understand when I think about the fact that my parents' rent in Junsha is only 100 yuan a month.
The price was really fair. The landlord had no intention of cheating him at all. He didn't think he was a middle school student and was trying to trick him.
Anyway, Li Da thought it was okay.
The landlord offered to rent out another room, and Li Da thought there was nothing wrong with it, but...
It was only an extra two hundred yuan, so Li Da decided to rent it all.
One to live in and one to empty.
When my parents come back later, I can stay with him temporarily.
Moreover, Li Da plans to rent for a long time, at least until he graduates from high school. In these two years, there is no guarantee that the landlord will find a new tenant. Li Da does not like to share the apartment with strangers.
Therefore, why save money on a problem that can be solved with two hundred dollars a month.
Li Da now has money and confidence.
"Auntie, I'm very satisfied with this house, so let's rent both rooms."
Li Yu: "???"
"Isn't it a waste to spend time here?"
"It doesn't matter. Sometimes my parents may come here and stay in a room."
Li Yu: "..."
This kid's family should be very rich.
"Have you thought it through? Do you want to communicate with your parents?"
"No, let's get ready to sign the contract."
Li Yu: "..."
contract……
This thing is not ready.
Tenants and landlords interact directly, and they generally do not sign a formal lease contract. In addition, in this small town, there are not so many twists and turns.
However, it is safer to have a contract.
A contract is what protects the interests of both parties. If you place your interests on the moral standards of others, if you make a mistake, you will lose money.
"It's okay. You don't need to sign the contract. I still believe in you."
After all, Li Yu, as a teacher, has such a polite classmate and has great trust in such students. In addition, her daughter is also from Luming High School, so her favorability has increased again, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't want a contract.
However, Li Da still insisted on writing two contracts.
