Early the next morning, Xiao Yifei threw his personal belongings in 704 and Concubine Yue's things into the Isis space, furniture and household appliances, and he planned to wait for the specific tenants to find them before deciding whether to move out.

Xiao Yifei drove to Beverly Park, and he plans to officially settle in Beverly Park starting today. As a result, he was tossed around at the gate post for a long time, and there was no way, Xiao Yifei couldn't swipe his face card now.

drove to the No. 40 mansion, Xiao Yifei planned to live here in the next few days. If you decide to rent it out, you can't buy it yourself and 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 completely belonged to him. Xiao Yifei, who was in a happy mood, walked around this new home of his own, touching it here, looking there, the golden and brilliant house was too much in line with his nouveau riche taste.

After a walk around the outdoor lawn, swimming pool, tennis court, and garage, Xiao Yifei went to the fitness room again, accompanied by the sunny lawn outside the window, ran on the treadmill, pedaled on the exercise bike, played on the rowing machine, wore boxing gloves and hit sandbags, and was sweaty.

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

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

After a few pleasantries, he finally said the purpose:

"Mr. Xiao, there are still some documents and procedures in our association that you need to sign, when are you free?"

"I'm free, what are the documents that need a lawyer?"

"There is no need for a lawyer, that is, the regulations negotiated by the owners of our North District need to inform the new residents, of course, if you don't feel at ease, you can call a lawyer."

"Okay, then I don't need a lawyer, do you need me to come to you?"

"You don't need to come over, you can just 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 it was seen from the video that it was a man and a woman in uniform. Xiao Yifei opened the door.

"Mr. Shaw, I'm Marion Karak, Customer Service Manager of the Community Association. This is my assistant Jane. ”

"Hello, please come in."

"Mr. Shaw, congratulations on your purchase of 40 and 34 Beverly Park, our association is very happy to serve you."

Xiao Yifei politely replied with a thank you.

Xiao Yifei took them to the small reception room and sat down, only to find that there were no servants here. I want to get these two a cup of coffee but don't know how to play with that high-end coffee machine.

"Sorry, you don't mind if there's no coffee, pure water, right?"

"Thank you, pure water will do."

Taking out three bottles of purified water from the refrigerator, the three of them sat down in chairs and began to talk.

"Mr. Xiao, these terms have been agreed by all 60 owners of our North District, and your predecessor has also agreed to these terms, because you have just moved in, we still need to notify you once, and ask you to sign the notice."

After speaking. Marion took a book-like thing from Jane's hand and handed it to Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei looked at the owner's convention, and when he flipped it slightly, there were actually 70 pages. Oh my God, this is terrifying, isn't it, 70 pages of owners' covenant?? There are so many rules for living in a room?

Fortunately, Marion comforted Xiao Yifei, who was frightened and dropped his jaw:

"In addition to the conventions that owners abide by, there is also the content of the owners' association, as well as the content that regulates our property management company. For the convenience of residents, we have an abridged version here. If you follow the above, you will have no problem. ”

The abridged version is not abridged either, and there are several pages as well. The first page of the document is to inform the owner that he will pay more than $20,000 a month in management fees this year, and list how the more than $20,000 is calculated, such as cleaning. Common area management, cameras everywhere, alarm system in the outer ring, etc.

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

"No problem. Is this money paid annually or monthly? ”

"Generally, the annual fee is paid at the beginning of the year, and you also know that a rich person like you must have business everywhere, and if you pay it monthly, you may not be in the country at that time, or there will be a situation where we can't get in touch."

It's also true, like those movie stars, it takes a few months to go out and make a movie, and the association will definitely not let you owe you a few months in property fees.

"Okay, this year's payment should be made, when will you start accepting the next year?"

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

I'll go, do you want to do this, after deducting 8% of the intermediary commission, he finally got 23.9 million housing payments, and he actually picked the door to even get back the property fee of $10,000 for half a month, if you take 100,000 back to make up the whole thing, it's only 10,000, isn't it? Could it be that the bargaining is too ruthless, and Jeff is looking for compensation from here? But no, not to mention the furniture and electrical appliances, the decorations in the house must add up to more than 10,000.

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

The next few pages are the important conventions that the owners abide by, and the regulations are very detailed, such as the greening rate must be guaranteed, the lawn and trees must be mowed regularly, the fallen leaves must be cleared, and the pool water must be better on time.

looks like these are small things, but small things are big things for Xiao Yifei now. For example, if you simply sweep the fallen leaves, most of the fallen leaves are in the lawn, and you can't clean them with a broom, etc., so you must use a high-power leaf dryer to blow them out of the lawn and then clean them.

There is also the management of the lawn. The lawn looks very beautiful, but it is very troublesome to actually take care of the lawn, and Southern California is a place with very little precipitation, and if you don't pay attention and forget to water your lawn, it will wilt. And lawn mowing is also a very troublesome thing, especially in those places with sharp corners, which can break the lawn mower if you are not careful. It's no wonder that some residents elsewhere have removed their lawns and replaced them with pebbles or concrete floors.

The lawn here is 2,000 square meters in various places, and it is a morning after one grass mowing, and there is a circle of green trees around the plot, and landscape trees and shrubs in the lawn garden, which cannot be done by one person in a day. If you hire someone, a few hundred dollars will be out. And lawn mowing is basically done every two weeks, which is an expense of $10,000 a year.

And that's not all, the community also stipulates that the exterior walls must be cleaned once a year. Such a large area of housing is another expenditure of tens of thousands of dollars.

It seems that this mansion is cool to live in, and the cost is not small.

"I see that Mr. Xiao hasn't hired a servant yet, do you need a professional company to carry out these businesses?"

"When the previous one left, he left me a few phone numbers. Do you have any recommendations? ”

"Yes, the company we recommend will definitely ensure the safety of your belongings."

"Okay, you can leave a contact information, I'll consider it."

"Does Mr. Xiao want to hold a warm house party?"

The warm house is a great opportunity for new residents to get to know their neighbors. But Xiao Yifei doesn't even have a maid now, and no one prepares all kinds of things if he wants to hold it, and the clean-up work after holding the party will cost him his life.

"Do you have to hold it every time a new tenant moves here?"

"Not necessarily, some owners move in and host one."

That means there is no such thing as a party, this kind of party is usually asked of her friends and neighbors, she doesn't have many friends in Los Angeles, and Tina doesn't want her to know that she bought this place for the time being. The negotiation team has already returned to Los Angeles, so isn't it too pitiful for me to be alone, so let's not hold it.

Perhaps misunderstood what Xiao Yifei meant, Marion took the initiative to suggest:

"We can recommend a professional planning company. Prepare for the tedious affairs of hosting a party. ”

"Okay, you can leave the phone."

There are also many other rules, such as the rules to be followed in the children's playground at the Owners' Club. The convention is detailed to the number of decibels that the volume of the party and music at night shall not exceed how many decibels.

Xiao Yifei simply scanned it, and felt that these regulations were quite good, and everyone else had signed, so of course he only had to sign. Marion took back the signed confirmation slip, and the 70-page book was left for Xiao Yifei to read slowly.

"Another ......"

Ah, and??

"The 34th is also going to go through such a set, should we handle it here or go to the 34th?"

"That's it. I'm just staying here for two days, waiting for the 34th to be arranged. I'm going to live there. By the way, I would like to ask if the tenant qualification review is necessary for you if the house is rented. ”

"Does Mr. Xiao want to rent out here?"

Marion was surprised. According to common sense, Xiao Yifei should definitely live in the luxurious No. 40 by himself, and keep No. 34 for rent or change hands.

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

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

"Yes, in order to guarantee the rights of the other residents of the community. We have the right to check the background of the tenants, which is also stipulated in the Owners' Covenant. ”

"Do you have an agent to find tenants?"

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

Xiao Yifei really wants to have one, this can be there.

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

"Okay, thank you then."

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

After signing, Marion said embarrassedly:

"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, the owner of the house on No. 34 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 is not ruthless in bargaining on the 34th, could it be that these guys in the association hacked themselves for half a month's money.

Perhaps seeing Xiao Yifei's suspicions, the female assistant Jane opened a folder:

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

It seems that it is customary to refund the management fee when you check out. Xiao Yifei seems to have to pay the management fee on No. 34, which is actually the same price as No. 40. He asked curiously:

"Why do houses with different plot sizes, house sizes, and house prices pay the same management fees? I should pay more than I should pay if the value is high. ”

"This is negotiated by all owners, after all, for all owners, we provide the same service, and will not reduce the level of service because of the low value of his house."

That seems to make sense.

With that out of the way, Marion pulls out a small card:

"Mr. Xiao, this is your pass, and it is also a membership card of the Community Owners Club. In addition, we will hold a Christmas cocktail party at the club on the evening of the 28th, inviting all owners in the north and south districts to attend, this is your invitation. ”

"Okay, I'll be there."

After sending the two association members away, Xiao Yifei looked at the book again, shaking his head while reading, this thing is too detailed. (To be continued.) It's like a book, the house of books! Unique URL:
