Early the next morning, Xiao Yifei threw his personal belongings in 704 and his concubine's belongings to Isis space. He planned to wait until the specific tenant found the furniture and home appliances before deciding whether to move away.

Xiao Yifei drove to Beverly Park. He planned to officially enter Beverly Park from today. As a result, he was tossed at the gate for a long time. There was no way, Xiao Yifei could not swipe his face card yet.

I drove to the luxury house No. 40, and Xiao Yifei planned to live here in the past few days. Since I decided to rent it out, I can't buy it myself and don't enjoy it for a day.

Sitting in the car, pressing the remote control, the door slowly opened, and Xiao Yifei drove into this palace that belonged to him. Xiao Yifei, who was in a happy mood, slowly wandered around his new home, touching here and looking there, the magnificent house was so in line with his nouveau riche's taste.

After strolling around the outdoor lawn, swimming pool, tennis court, and garage, Xiao Yifei went to the gym again. Accompanied by the sunny lawn outside the window, he went to the treadmill, pedaled on the exercise bike, played on the rowing machine, wore boxing gloves and hit sandbags, and sweated.

At this time, a phone call came in, and it turned out to be from the Beverly Park North Association:

"Mr. Xiao, congratulations on your move to your new home. Our association warmly welcomes you to Beverly Park."

After a few greetings, he finally expressed his purpose:

"Mr. Xiao, our association also has some documents and procedures that you need to sign. When will you be free?"

"I am free now. What documents are there? Do I need a lawyer to attend?"

"No lawyer is needed, it is the regulations negotiated by our North District owners, etc. that need to inform the new residents. Of course, if you are not at ease, you can call the lawyer."

"Okay. Then I won't need a lawyer. Do I need me to come to you?"

"You don't have to come here, you'll be at home."

"Okay. I'm on the 40th now, I'll wait for you."

After a while, a call came from the intercom system at the door, and from the video, it was seen that it was a man and a woman in uniform. Xiao Yifei opened the door.

"Mr. Xiao, I am Marion Carac, customer service manager of the community association. This is my assistant Jane."

"Hello, please come in."

"Mr. Xiao, congratulations on your purchase of No. 40 and No. 34 Beverly Park. Our association is very happy to provide you with the service."

Xiao Yifei politely replied thank you.

Xiao Yifei took them to the small reception room to sit down, but found that there were no servants here. He wanted to get these two people a cup of coffee but could not play with that high-end coffee maker.

"Sorry, you don't mind pure water without coffee, don't you?"

"Thank you, just purify water."

Take out three bottles of pure water from the refrigerator, and the three of them sat on a chair and started the talks.

"Mr. Xiao, these regulations have been approved by all 60 owners in our North District. Your ex also agreed to these terms. Because you have just moved in, we need to notify you once and ask you to sign a notice."

After saying that, Marion took a book-like thing from Jane and handed it to Xiao Yifei.

When Xiao Yifei saw the owners’ convention, he turned a little. It actually had 70 pages. Oh my god, this is too scary. The owners’ convention of 70 pages?? There are so many rules to live in a house?

Fortunately, Marion comforted Xiao Yifei, who was scared to death:

"In addition to the conventions that the owners abide by, there are also contents of the owners' association and contents that regulate our property management company. In order to facilitate residents to read, we have a brief version here. If you follow the above, there will be no problem."

The abbreviation version is not simple, and it has several pages. The first page of the document tells the owner that he will pay more than $20,000 in management fees this year. It lists how the more than $20,000 is calculated, such as cleaning, public area management, and cameras everywhere, alarm systems in the outer circle, etc.

Xiao Yifei can understand this. The houses in the flat area of ​​Beverly Hills have to pay property fees every year, not to mention such closed communities, so the more than 20,000 US dollars must be given.

"No problem, is this money paid annually or monthly?"

"Often the annual fee is paid at the beginning of the year. You also know that wealthy people like you must have business everywhere. If you pay monthly, you may not be in China or we cannot contact you."

That's right, like those movie stars, if you go out to make a movie for a few months, the association will definitely not let you owe property fees for several months.

"Okay, I should pay this year's money. When will you start accepting the next year?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, my previous house deducted the property fees for the second half of December, so you have to pay the property fees for the past half month."

I'll go, would you like this? After deducting 8% of the agency commission, he received 23.9 million yuan in house payment. He was so stingy that he had to take back the property fees of $10,000 for half a month. It would be understandable if you took 100,000 and you could make up for it. It was only 10,000, so it wouldn't be like this, right? Is it too harsh to kill the price? Jeff looks for a repair from here? But it's wrong. I won't talk about furniture and appliances. The decorations in the house will definitely be more than 10,000 yuan.

"Okay, I'll write a check for you later."

The following pages are important conventions that the owners abide by, and the provisions are very detailed. For example, the greening rate must be guaranteed, the lawns and trees must be mowed regularly, the fallen leaves must be cleaned, and the swimming pool water must be better on schedule. The major pages are all such small regulations.

These are all small things, but small things are big things for Xiao Yifei now. For example, simply cleaning fallen leaves. Most of the fallen leaves are in the lawn and cannot be cleaned with a broom, etc. You must use a high-power fallen leaves hair dryer to blow them out of the lawn and then clean them.

There is also lawn management. The lawn looks very beautiful, but actually caring for the lawn is a very troublesome thing. Southern California is a place with very little precipitation. If you forget to water the lawn, it will wither. Lawn mowing is also a very troublesome thing, especially in those corners and corners, if you are not careful, you will break the lawn mower. No wonder residents in other places remove the lawn and replace it with pebbles or cement floors.

The lawn area here is 2,000 square meters in total. Once the grass is cut, it will pass in one morning. There are also the green trees around the plot, the landscape trees and shrubs in the lawn garden. One person can’t finish it in a day. If you ask someone, you can go out for a few hundred dollars. The lawn mowing basically takes place every two weeks, which will cost 10,000 dollars a year.

This is not the end. The community also stipulates that exterior wall cleaning must be carried out once a year, and such a large area of ​​houses is another tens of thousands of dollars spent.

It seems that this luxury house is a great expense.

"I think Mr. Xiao hasn't hired a servant yet. Do you need a professional company to carry out these businesses?"

"When my previous man left, I left me a few phone numbers. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Yes, the company we recommend can definitely ensure the safety of your property."

"Okay, please leave a contact information, I will consider it."

"Mr. Xiao wants to hold a warm house party?"

Warm houses are a good opportunity for new residents to get to know their neighbors. But Xiao Yifei now has no servants, and no one prepares all kinds of things if he wants to hold them. In addition, cleaning work after holding the party will cost him his life.

“Does new residents have to be held here every time they move in?”

"Not necessarily, some owners will hold one when they move in."

That means there are no ones to hold. This kind of party usually requires their friends and neighbors. She doesn't have many friends in Los Angeles. She doesn't want her to know that she has purchased this place for the time being. The negotiation team has long returned to Los Angeles. Is it too pitiful for me to hold it?

Perhaps because he misunderstood Xiao Yifei's meaning, Marion took the initiative to suggest:

“We can recommend professional planning companies to prepare you for the tedious business of organizing parties.”

"Okay, please leave the phone."

There are many other regulations, such as the rules that children's playgrounds in the owners' club must abide by. The convention is fine until the party is opened at night, and the volume of music must not exceed a few decibels.

Xiao Yifei scanned it briefly and thought that these regulations were pretty good. Everyone else signed it, so of course he had to sign it. Marion took back the signed confirmation form, and left the 70-page book for Xiao Yifei to read it slowly.

"in addition.."

Ah, there is still??

"We have to go through this on the 34th. Should we handle it here or go to the 34th?"

"That's it. I'll just stay here for two days. When the layout is completed on the 34th, I'll go there. By the way, I want to ask if this house is for rent, will the tenant qualification review pass through you?"

"Mr. Xiao wants to rent this place?"

Marion was surprised. According to common sense, Xiao Yifei must have lived in the luxurious No. 40 himself, and kept No. 34 for rent or for sale.

"I'm alone now, it's too big for me."

Maybe he didn't understand Xiao Yifei's thoughts, he shrugged:

"Yes, in order to ensure the rights of other residents in the community, we have the right to examine the tenant's background, which is also stipulated in the owners' convention."

"So do you have any agents looking for tenant services?"

"Mr. Xiao, we don't have this service for the time being."

Xiao Yifei really wants to have one, this one can have it.

"However, we can ask you if other owners have any recommendations."

"Okay, thank you then."

"Mr. Xiao, you also need to sign the notice and other documents of the owner No. 34."

After signing, Marion said embarrassedly:

"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, the owner of the house on the 34th also refunded the management fee for the last half month, and you still need to pay this half month."

Xiao Yifei muttered in his heart, is it true? He was not ruthless in bargaining on the 34th. Could it be that these guys from the association would be damaging him for half a month?

Perhaps seeing Xiao Yifei's suspicion, the female assistant Jian opened a folder:

"This is their refund receipt, Mr. Xiao can take a look."

It seems that it is a customary thing to refund the management fee when checking out. Xiao Yifei thinks that the management fee that needs to be paid on the 34th is actually the same as the 40th. He asked curiously:

"Why do houses with different plots, houses, and house prices pay the same management fees? You should pay more for those with high value."

"This was negotiated by all owners. After all, the services we provide are the same for all owners, and the service level will not be reduced because of the low value of the house."

This seems to make sense.

After getting these things done, Marion took out a small card:

"Mr. Xiao, this is your entry and exit certificate, and it is also a membership certificate for the community owners' club. In addition, we held a Christmas party at the club at the 28th party, inviting all owners from the north and south districts to attend. This is your invitation."

"Okay, I'll be there."
Chapter completed!
