Chapter 11 Rent Collection
The next morning.
Chen Jin did not go to another world to explore.
Instead, I drove my father's Volkswagen Passat, which was about 300,000 yuan, to the "Lotus Community" within the Third Ring Road in the city.
This mid-to-high-end apartment residential community, Chen Jin's other four houses are all in this community.
Chen Jin's family has a total of six houses, including two houses located in Xingfu Tianyuan Community outside the Fifth Ring Road of Shanghai City (a large apartment with three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms and one study room with balcony structure). Chen Jin's family of three lives are occupied by themselves.
Upstairs, 402 parents live together.
The 302 downstairs is Chen Jin’s wedding house, and he will move in after he gets married.
However, Chen Jin couldn't stand his father's nagging and wanted to have some private space, so he moved into his own 302 Middle School shortly after graduating from university.
All four houses in Lianhua Community were rented out.
Today is August 18 (Earth Time), Sunday, and it is the day to collect rent every month.
In fact, the prescribed rent collection date is the 15th of each month, but considering that most tenants have to go to work and are not in renting a house, Chen Jin usually chooses a non-working day to check it out.
The main purpose is not to collect rent. Most tenants will use Alipay to transfer the rent to their account. If you give a little reminder, the other party will transfer the money.
Chen Jin went there in person mainly to check the hygiene status of the four houses.
Check at least once a month.
By the way, he will also remind tenants who arrears rent in person.
If a tenant cancels the lease, Chen Jinqian will deal with it. Then he has to post the rental information online and bring new tenants to see the house.
In short, my mother gave all the four houses in Lianhua Community to Chen Jin to take care of.
As for the remuneration, half of the rent collected from the four houses belongs to Chen Jin.
This is his main source of income.
From this perspective, Chen Jin cannot be completely said to be a "parent dependent" person, he at least did the work.
...
Lotus Community.
Chen Jin's four houses are concentrated in six buildings, namely the four houses 801, 802, 901, 902.
All of them are large apartments with three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and 140 square meters.
With the current rental market, such a large house, plus the interior luxury decoration and the location within the Third Ring Road of Shanghai City, the market rental price is at least 7,000 yuan per house, and 7,500 yuan per house is everywhere.
However, the rents for these four houses in Chen Jin's family have not been adjusted yet, and they are still maintained at 6,000 per house last year.
Chen Jin knew that the price was a bit low and had thought of raising rents, but his mother said that it is not easy for those tenants to work hard in the business world, so the rent should not rise at will, and it will be adjusted uniformly by the end of the year.
Chen Jin tasted the taste of hard life and understood the difficulties of those outsiders, so he tried not to cause trouble to them.
...
Room 801.
After knocking on the door and walking in, Chen Jin frowned heavily.
I couldn't even help pinching my nose.
I quickly picked up my cell phone and called: "Is the housekeeping company? This is 801, Building 6, Lianhua Community. Please send two cleaners to come here to help clean the place..."
The housekeeping company said it would send someone to come within an hour.
The house was filled with all kinds of unpacked snack packaging, takeaway garbage, melon peel and fruit shells, emitting a rotten smell.
The two buckets of Kangshuai Fu instant noodle buckets with a lot of soup base left in the trash can in the corner are even more disgusting.
The stains on the tiled floor make people afraid to step inside barefoot.
On the combined sofas in the two living rooms, there were six shirtless strange men lying in different postures, and someone snored "booming" sounds.
On the glass coffee table in the middle, there were several laptops, a bunch of barbecue wooden signs, a large number of empty beer bottles, and the ground wires were messy...
When Chen Jin came to check last month, there were only three strange men lying on the sofa.
Chen Jin pulled Li Kai who opened the door for him to the side, and said with a ugly face: "Li Kai, didn't you tell me last month that your friends will leave soon? Why didn't they leave? How many more people are there?"
"Landlord, I..."
Li Kai's tone became hesitant and his expression was a little embarrassed: "They are all my brothers. I have been looking for a job in the Shanghai area recently and move out immediately after finding a job."
"I don't care whether they find a job or not. Next month, I don't want to see them again, and there is still..."
Chen Jin said in a deep voice: "Your rent will increase to 7,500 next month. Please inform others."
"What?"
Li Kai was shocked and had a little excited face: "7500? You raised us 1500 at once, why?"
He tried his best to restrain his anger.
"The average price of houses within the Third Ring Road of Shanghai City is 50,000 or 60,000 yuan per square meter. My house is worth 70,000 yuan. Can you waste my house like this if you pay 6,000 yuan a month? I think the rent is expensive, you can move out and find a better and cheaper environment."
Chen Jin pointed to the outside with a cold face and said... What Chen Jin cared most about as a landlord for nearly two years is not the rent, but whether the hygiene in the room is kept clean and the furniture is not damaged? Are there any failures in various electrical appliances? These things are actually more worrying than rent.
After all, no one wants a house worth millions to be ruined by the tenant.
Li Kai lowered his head, struggled violently in his mind, and had to grit his teeth and said, "Okay! I will tell them."
Recently, the rent in Shanghai City has soared, generally rising by 20-30%. Rumors have been made that capital is going to drink the blood of young people. Li Kai believes this is true because a few friends living in the living room basically had no choice but to join him because of the increase in rent.
But unexpectedly, he could not escape the increase in rent.
Of course, he knew that the landlord was extremely dissatisfied with the hygiene in the room, so he made the decision to increase his rent on the spot. He also reminded the brothers many times to pay attention to the hygiene of the room and clean it more, but after get off work, they were playing games and making garbage, and no one took his words to heart.
Now, these degenerate good brothers have implicated him.
"You can help you pay for the extra 1,500 rent."
Li Kai said inwardly.
...
Room 802, rented a family of six in this city, so there is no need to go in and check it out.
There are three couples living in Room 901. Two of them are married. They are usually very hygienic and can just go in and check it occasionally. Chen Jin saw it last month and does not plan to go in today.
In Room 902, there are five young girls living in shared rentals, most of whom are single.
The hygiene situation of Room 902 was also very bad in the past (don’t think that girls like to be clean, most of them are also very sloppy). Chen Jin ordered cleaning services twice a month to clean 902.
However, there is a tenant named Guo Yan who moved into 902 at the beginning of this year and pays great attention to personal hygiene and occasionally cleans the public living room. When she saw that Chen Jin would ask for cleaning services twice a month, she privately discussed with Chen Jin and asked her if she could contract the cleaning work of 902, but hoped to reduce her rent of 300 yuan a month.
And every time Chen Jin ordered a cleaning service, he would spend 200 yuan.
Two times it's 400.
If the cleaning work is done by her Guo Yan, Chen Jin can save 100.
He also promised: "Landlord, you can come and check it. The hygiene I have must be cleaner than those cleaning staff."
Chen Jin checked it over and found that 902 was indeed cleaned by Guo Yan and was spotless.
He said to Guo Yan privately: "You can pay 300 less rent in the future, but I hope you can keep it."
"Okay! No problem, I promise to clean up once a week."
Guo Yan held a mop in her hand, lifted the hair behind her ears, and the bangs on her forehead were wet with sweat, showing a bright smile... The bedroom she lived in shared with a classmate, and she was responsible for 1,000 yuan of rent per month. Now she only paid 700 yuan per month after deducting 300 yuan. This is a big deal in the business world where the rent is high.
The hardworking and beautiful girl in front of her made Chen Jin slightly stunned, and then reminded: "Don't tell other girls about this, I don't want to cause trouble."
Guo Yan said he knew.
Today, Chen Jin came to 902 not to check hygiene, but to urge him to rent.
The girl named Song Xuejia, who lives in the west bedroom, has not paid the rent for three consecutive months, and always makes excuses to say that she has no money.
Today, it would be impossible not to urge her for a moment.
