Chapter 11 Rent Collection
Early the next morning.
Chen Jin didn't go to the other world to explore.
Instead, he drove his father's Volkswagen Passat of more than 300,000 yuan to the "Lotus Community" in the third ring road of the city.
In this mid-to-high-end apartment residential community, the other four houses of Chen Jin's family are all in this community.
Chen Jin's family has a total of six houses, including two suites (160 square meters of large apartment, three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms and one study with balcony structure) located in the Xingfu Tianyuan community outside the fifth ring road of Shanghai City, which are self-occupied by Chen Jin's family of three.
Upstairs 402 parents live for two.
The 302 downstairs is used as Chen Jin's wedding room, and he will live in it when he gets married in the future.
However, Chen Jin couldn't stand his father's nagging and wanted to have some private space, so soon after graduating from college, he moved into his own 302 Middle School.
The four suites in the Lotus Community were all rented out.
Today is August 18th (Earth time), Sunday, and it's the day of the monthly rent collection again.
In fact, the stipulated rent collection date is the 15th of each month, but considering that most tenants have to go to work and are not in the rented house, Chen Jin usually picks a non-working day to go over and have a look.
The main purpose is not to collect rent, most tenants will use Alipay to transfer the rent to their own accounts, and with a little reminder, the other party will transfer it.
Chen Jin personally went over to inspect the health of the four houses.
Check it at least once a month.
By the way, he will also remind those tenants who are in arrears of rent.
If there is a tenant who quits the rent, Chen Jin will also go to deal with it, and then he has to post the rental information on the Internet and take the new tenant to see the house.
In short, the four houses in the Lotus Community, my mother handed over them to Chen Jin to take care of.
As for the remuneration, it is the rent collected from the four houses, half of which belongs to Chen Jin.
That's his main source of income.
From this point of view, Chen Jin can't be completely said to be a "gnawing old man", he at least did his work.
……
Lotus Community.
Chen Jin's four houses are concentrated in six buildings, namely 801, 802, 901, and 902.
It is a three-bedroom, two-living room, two-bathroom 140-square-meter large apartment structure.
With the current rental market, such a large house, coupled with the luxurious decoration inside, as well as the location within the third ring road of Shanghai City, the market rental price is at least 7,000 sets, and 7,500 and 8,000 sets also abound.
However, the rent of Chen Jin's four houses has not been adjusted for the time being, and it still remains at 6,000 units last year.
Chen Jin knew that the price was a bit low, and he had the idea of raising the rent, but his mother said that it was not easy for those tenants to work hard in the business world, so the rent should not rise casually, and it would be better to adjust it uniformly at the end of the year.
Chen Jin has tasted the taste of hard life and understands the difficulties of those outsiders, so he tries not to add trouble to them.
……
Room 801.
After knocking on the door and walking in, Chen Jin's brows furrowed heavily.
I can't help but pinch my nose.
Quickly picked up the mobile phone and made a call: "Housekeeping company?" This is 801, Building 6 of Lotus Community, please send two cleaners to help clean this place......"
The housekeeping company said it would send someone over within an hour.
The house is filled with all kinds of disassembled snack packaging, takeaway garbage, melon peels and husks, emitting the smell of rotting.
The two buckets of Kang Shuaifu instant noodles in the garbage basket in the corner with a lot of soup base remained, and the strong smell emitted was even more disgusting.
The stains on the tiled floor are black, and people dare not step barefoot inside.
On the modular sofa in the two living rooms, a total of six shirtless strange men lay in different postures, and some of them made a "boom" snoring sound.
On the glass coffee table in the middle, there are a few laptops, a pile of barbecue sticks, and a large number of empty beer bottles, and the ground wires are 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, aside, and said with an ugly face: "Li Kai, didn't you tell me last month that your friends will leave soon?" Why didn't they go? How many more people are there? ”
"Host, I ......"
Li Kai's tone became hesitant, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "They are all my brothers, and they have been looking for jobs in Shanghai recently, and they will move out immediately if they find a job." ”
"I don't care if they find a job or not, next month, I don't want to see them again, and ......"
Chen Jin said in a deep voice: "Your rent for next month will rise to 7,500, you can inform the others." ”
"What?"
Li Kai was taken aback, and his face was a little excited: "7500? You give us a 1500 increase at once, why? ”
He tried his best to restrain the annoyance in his heart.
"The average price of a house in the third ring road of Shanghai City is 50,000 or 60,000 square meters, and my house is worth seven or eight million, and you pay a rent of 6,000 a month, can you ruin my house like this? If you think the rent is expensive, you can move out and find a better and cheaper environment. ”
Chen Jin grimaced, pointed outside, and said...... After being a landlord for nearly two years, what Chen Jin cares about most is not the rent, but whether the hygiene in the room is kept clean and whether the furniture is damaged. Are there any faults in the electrical appliances? These things are actually more worrying than rent.
After all, a house worth millions of dollars, no one wants to be spoiled into a kennel by tenants.
Li Kai lowered his head, struggled violently in his brain, and had to grit his teeth and say, "Okay!" I'll talk to a few of them. ”
Recently, the rent in Shanghai City has skyrocketed, generally rising by 20-30%, and it is rumored that capital wants to drink the blood of young people, Li Kai believes that this is true, because a few friends who live in the living room have no choice but to go to him because of the rent rise.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't escape the rent increase.
Of course, he knew that the landlord was extremely dissatisfied with the sanitary condition of the room, so he made the decision to increase the rent on the spot, and he also reminded those brothers many times to pay attention to the hygiene of the room and clean it more, but after they got off work, except for playing games and creating garbage, no one took his words to heart.
Well, now, these depraved good brothers have taken him to the liking.
"You can help bear the extra 1,500 rent."
Li Kai said secretly.
……
Room 802, rented by a family of six in the city, there is no need to go in and check.
Room 901, there are three couples living in it, two of them are married, they usually pay attention to hygiene, and occasionally go in to check it, Chen Jin saw it last month, and he doesn't plan to go in today.
Room 902 is home to five young girls who share a house, most of whom are single.
The hygiene of room 902 used to be very bad (don't think that girls love to be clean, most of them are also very sloppy), Chen Jin has to call a cleaning service twice a month to clean 902.
However, there is a tenant named Guo Yan, after living in 902 at the beginning of this year, she pays great attention to personal hygiene, and occasionally cleans the common living room, she saw that Chen Jin will call cleaning services twice a month, so she privately discussed with Chen Jin, and asked her if she could contract the cleaning work of 902, but hoped to reduce her rent by 300 yuan every month.
And every time Chen Jin calls for cleaning services, he has to spend 200.
Two times is 400.
If the cleaning work is done by her Guo Yan, Chen Jin can save 100.
And promised: "Landlord, you can come and check, my sanitation must be cleaner than those cleaners." ”
Chen Jin checked it once and found that 902 was indeed cleaned by Guo Yan very clean and spotless.
said to Guo Yan privately: "You can pay 300 less rent in the future, but I hope to keep it." ”
"Okay! No problem, I promise to clean up once a week. ”
Guo Yan held a mop in her hand and stroked the hair behind her ears, the bangs on her forehead were wet with sweat, revealing a bright smile...... The bedroom she lives in is shared with a classmate, and she bears 1,000 rent per month, and now minus 300, she can pay 700 per month, which is a big bargain in the business world where the rent is high.
The hard-working 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 add trouble."
Guo Yan said she knew.
And today Chen Jin came to 902, not to check hygiene, but to urge rent.
The girl named Song Xuejia, who lives in the bedroom on the west side, has not paid the rent for three consecutive months, and every time she makes excuses that she has no money.
Today, it won't work if you don't rush her.
