These two days have been “rent” a variety of news brush screen, I believe we have heard.

First, it was widely reported that the recent rent increase was obvious, and a big boss spoke out against it. The next day, he “voluntarily” resigned.

Then came yesterday’s incident of renting a house in Shenzhen Taoyuan Subway Station. The landlord’s bad attitude was rare. The landlord’s catchphrase “Nanshan public security bureau looking for Chen bureau” quickly went viral.

Then purple university “Mr. Zizhu Zhang” wrote a “why the intermediary loot rental housing, because drug trafficking is not as fast as it comes to money” exposure freely, eggshell long rental apartment dirty routine, spread throughout the circle of friends.

I admire some Internet big V to expose these dark curtain, expose these unscrupulous intermediary. More people will know about the dirty tricks, otherwise more people will fall for them.

But there have been so many scandals lately that I’m worried. Will because of these incidents make the city full of wind and rain, MY own rented house “by the price”?

On second thought, I don’t think so.

Because my landlord is a middle-aged greasy old man with a yuxi cigarette in his mouth, flip-flops on his feet, no vegetation on his head and Hu Jianyin in his mouth. He probably doesn’t read the official account. Otherwise he didn’t want to raise the rent, probably to the heart itch.

I still remember that when I first came to Shanghai three years ago, the search for an apartment was not easy. Cheated by the primary landlord twice, only to find a suitable house the third time. Money lost, lesson learned, well paid.

When I was looking for a house strategy is “rural” route, do not dare to look at the center of the magic city.

As soon as I arrived in Shanghai, I found more than a dozen subway stops according to the map. Then I got the name of the neighborhood near the subway station. Again through soufang net station, find the rental information of this community, a call in the past to ask.

When looking for a house at that time, there was no “eggshell”, “freely”, “qingke” these long-term rental apartments. If there were, it certainly wouldn’t be on my radar.

Because I can’t afford to rent…

Just came to the magic of the first standard is survival, everything to save money as the starting point, there will not be too many other ideas.

I gave myself a few months to look for a job, and if I couldn’t find one, I went home. Get a job first, then move on.

Then I got my first job in Zhangjiang. 19 subway stops from where I live. It takes an hour and a half to get to work every day, and three hours to commute back and forth.

I had never seen the morning rush hour on the subway before I came to the Capital. Come to the magic city just know, the original subway can hold so many people… Really shocked!

The experience lasted more than a year.

Later, HE changed his company and went to Caohejing. The commute became an hour, which felt much easier than before, and I got used to seeing the morning and evening rush hours for a long time.

In a first-tier city, an hour’s journey is really not far. Reading books on the commuter subway, listen to “get”, and do not feel how difficult the commuting time.

The only difficulty is that it is very expensive to eat in the city center, usually 25 to 30 yuan per meal. Dare not eat, dare not eat. Often more than nine o ‘clock off work, to live nearby to eat. Cheap, under 20.

I think every young man struggling in a big city has experienced a similar life.

I don’t think this experience is a bad thing.

Eat bitter, bitter, people.

Circumstances are important, but you are more important.

The apartment I’m renting, it’s like a village in a city. It’s a bachelor pad, less than 9 square meters. A wardrobe, a single bed, a desk is the furniture of the whole room.

I have been cooped up in this house for more than two years.

In this 9 square house, I lived and studied for more than two years.

In this environment, I did not give up. Read, write code and write articles every day.

Because knowing what class of people live around me inspires me to keep going.

They would cook meals and cook dishes in the morning and evening, making the room smell of oil and smoke.

They binge watch TV, talk on the phone and make all kinds of noises at night.

They also have high energy and sex in the middle of the night.

Any one of these is a reason to move.

But I didn’t move, because I thought it was a required course for every striver.

Don’t I want to live better?

I do. Of course I do.

But I know there are many opportunities and I need money. You have to save money at the same time. You have to.

A lot of people talk about “delayed enjoyment”, but the body is very honest.

In this small house of 9 square meters, I struggled for the down payment of the house and realized the first stage of life.

In this age of poverty, not prostitution, living in a few square meters of shabby rental room, is that a big deal? Most young people are like that!

Why come to Shenzhen when you can’t overcome such a small difficulty?

It’s nice to be home, isn’t it?

Finally, I would like to give some advice on renting a house to my friends who have just come to Shenzhen.

1. You can choose a partial place according to the housing search strategy I mentioned above, but it must be within 2km of the subway station, with convenient transportation. In big cities, most people travel by subway, and subway rooms should be considered first.

2, looking for a house can go to the house around the “store” intermediary there to find, although these intermediary fees, but often more reliable than online/roadside small advertising.

3, when renting a house, be sure to confirm the property rights of the house. To negotiate with the agent, to see the property certificate, to the landlord’s ID card copy. It’s best to meet the landlord and make sure he’s not a secondary landlord. If you can do that, you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble.

4, it is best not to rent “eggshell”, “freely”, “green guest” these long-term rental apartments. Because they are often with you loan agreement, and this kind of long – term rental apartment houses are mostly newly decorated, bad for health. And they’re more expensive…

Can afford a person to live, do not share. Because the first few years, that’s your golden growth period. How quiet you are after work is very important, unless, like me, you are the last one to leave the office every day and go home after studying at the office.

6, you can go to douban city group/idle fish to find a house, maybe you can find the same industry, relatively high quality.

7, before renting a house to talk about the cost of water, electricity, coal, network. Especially shared rent, how should every month price calculate, write on the contract.

8, when signing the contract, remember that every article in the contract should be carefully read well, in accordance with the agreement and the owner of the house to fill in, all kinds of household appliances in the house before moving in to check. Otherwise furniture electric appliance is broken, seek landlord again, do not cooperate majority. Keep the rental contract, don’t throw it away.

If the living environment is not good, remember to follow the valuables, do not put at home.

Where to live, to protect themselves, protect themselves, protect themselves, should be timid, can bend and stretch.

If you come to Beijing or Shenzhen, don’t be too quick to complain. Hard times don’t last long for people with real ability.

Years from now, you’ll look back and be glad you were there.

You don’t know your limits until you push yourself!

Don’t put limits on your life
