Chapter 395: Unscrupulous Black Intermediary

"That's not good, we have to make it clear later, don't call our office for anything in the future, just publish the news, mediate civil disputes, these things will not be in our hands."

"You say." Jiang Xi didn't bother with Fu Youcheng, but was thinking by himself: "Why is the money here gone?" ”

"Did you say the rent?" Fu You became enlightened.

Jiang Xi nodded: "Yes, I also wonder, why is the money gone?" ”

"I first thought it was the tenant or the two ladies who didn't call the rent, or the wrong account. But in the first half of last year, it was normal, and since the second half of last year, the landlord has not received the rent, and has not received the rent, why do they continue to renew the contract with Miss Zhang and them this year? Isn't that a paradox? ”

"yes." Fu Youcheng nodded in agreement.

This is indeed the problem: "Sister, what do you think, why is this?" ”

Jiang Xi slowly turned to Fu Youcheng: "Do you think it's my Sherlock Holmes?" The problems that we can see immediately can be seen by others, but there is no solution. ”

"Sister, could it be that the money went into other channels and was taken away by a fraud gang or something?" Fu Youcheng asked.

Jiang Xi thought about it seriously and shook his head: "It's impossible, the account number that has been transferring money can still be changed by the fraud gang all of a sudden?" Now that there is such a powerful technology, the world has long been chaotic. ”

"The account has not been changed, but the money is gone, while insisting that the payment has been made, while insisting that it has not been received, how to solve it?"

"Call the police." Jiang Xi said in a low voice, "If this situation is not called to the police, when will the police be called?" ”

"Sister, will the police handle these things?"

"Of course it will," Jiang Xi nodded: "I'm wondering, is there still a possibility that there is no contract signed between the two of them?" ”

"Whose lease is it?" Fu Youcheng asked: "The landlord didn't deny the contract." ”

"No, I mean, could it be that contract, in fact, they didn't sign it with the landlord, do you remember that Miss Zhang said a word, go and ask the agent. She said to ask the agent, could it be that they signed an agreement with the agent? ”

Jiang Xi's words reminded Fu Youcheng.

"Intermediary?"

Now many intermediary companies have begun to sign contracts with tenants on behalf of landlords, and it is not that in the early years, intermediaries were just intermediaries, and it was good to face the landlord and tenant face-to-face and collect commissions.

Today's agents can sign contracts with tenants instead of landlords.

"It should be." Jiang Xi said: "I haven't rented a house before, but recently my parents moved to live quite close to us, so I realized that there are still options." ”

Fu Youcheng nodded: "Yes, but you also have to ask the landlord for approval, right?" ”

"Do you rent a house or do you live in your own house?" Jiang Xi asked suddenly.

Fu Youcheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Of course it's renting a house, how expensive is the Han family in Dayundu?" My goal in this life is to buy a house in Yundu, alas, a distant dream can only be...... Dream. ”

"Uh......"

Jiang Xi didn't mean to talk about this topic, so he asked again: "So, how did you rent your house?" ”

Fu Youcheng said: "Of course it's a normal rent, I've lived there for many years, the agent's house, and then sign a contract with the owner, and the agent charges half a month's rent each, that's all." ”

Jiang Xi said: "Therefore, renting with an agent has only been available in recent years. ”

"yes."

Fu Youcheng asked again: "Sister, do we want to report this matter?" ”

"Report it, otherwise what are we going to do today? This should not be a special case, and it should be reported to warn the world. Jiang Xi said in a low voice.

As he was talking, several uniformed policemen appeared, presumably they had called.

Fu Youcheng pulled Jiang Xi's sleeve: "Sister, the police here appeared quite quickly." ”

Jiang Xi stood up and saw a familiar face.

Fu Youcheng also stepped forward and took the lead in greeting several policemen.

"Hello police officers, we are the livelihood reporters of the Chaohua Agency, today we are the police, there is a rented house upstairs, and now, there is a little situation."

Fu Youcheng took the initiative to speak, and the policemen led by him looked at Jiang Xi who followed behind and smiled.

Jiang Xi said: "What a coincidence, Officer Li, the person who came over is you." ”

"yes, you came here for an interview?" Officer Li also said politely.

Jiang Xi shook his head: "It was a citizen who called our office, and I had no choice but to come and have a look." But now there are a lot of people coming from both sides, so my colleagues and I can only stay out of the way first, and then we will help follow up when you come over. ”

Fu Youcheng was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Jiang Xi to even know the police.

Hurriedly said: "That's the case, the atmosphere on both sides of the scene has reached the level of saber rattling, we can't mediate at all, the landlord has the elderly and children on the side, in case they want to do it, we can only stop the tenant." It's okay for me, it's okay to be beaten twice, but Sister Xi is a girl after all. And in that case, we can't persuade it, so we can only help call the police and avoid it. ”

In today's situation, if you are injured, it is not considered a work injury, right?

Jiang Xi smiled: "Do you want to hear the information we know?" Let me tell you objectively, and if you ask again after you go up, you will be able to understand the matter and situation more quickly. ”

"There's a lawyer." Officer Li laughed.

Jiang Xi told what she knew, and then asked, "So, we are now deducing that maybe the rent of the tenant, Miss Zhang, was not directly paid to the landlord." ”

"Nowadays, real estate agents have a model similar to that of the past, where agents hoard properties and rent out landlords' houses for a long period of time at rents higher than the market price. Generally, it is five years, in this case, the landlord does not have to worry about the loss of economic benefits caused by the vacant house for five years. After a long-term lease to an agency, the quarterly rent is paid by the agency. During this period, the intermediary company will rent the property to the tenant on behalf of the landlord, and the previous situation of signing a contract with the landlord face-to-face and asking for a deposit of one to pay three or two to pay three has become a deposit of one or zero deposit, and it is possible to pay one per month. However, in this case, the intermediary company will use the tenant to borrow a year's money from a microfinance company or platform, which is one year's rent. And the rent that the tenant pays every month is actually repaying the loan. ”

Officer Li quickly and simply explained the situation, and Jiang Xi heard it a little far.

"Are you saying that the agency uses the tenant's information to actually get a year's rent from the loan platform? And the rent that the tenant pays every month is actually repaying the loan! ”

"Yes." Officer Lee nodded.

Jiang Xi faintly felt a headache, "So, the rent received by the landlord was taken from the intermediary company." If the intermediary company runs away, the landlord's rent will naturally not be paid. During this period, the tenant must continue to repay the monthly loan. ”

"Yes."

Officer Li confirmed: "From what you just said about the situation of the upstairs house, it can basically be judged that this is the case. Many times, tenants themselves don't know who the landlord is. Because there is no meeting with the landlord at all from beginning to end, it is the agent who signs the contract. ”

Jiang Xi understood, and turned his head to look at Fu Youcheng: "Then this news must be reported, and everyone is reminded to check the information carefully when renting a house, otherwise there will be problems." ”

Fu Youcheng nodded: "Okay, sister." ”

When the police arrived, the landlord and the tenant finally fell silent, and everyone was afraid of the police, and no one wanted to leave a little disgrace on their files.

Miss Zhang immediately said: "Comrade policeman, we really paid the rent, and these are all evidence that I paid the money." We paid it every month, and they didn't say they didn't pay it, and they forced us to move out. In order to force us to move out, we did everything we could to do it, and we lived here with two girls, and they did it really too much. ”

The policeman said, "Miss Zhang, you signed the contract with an intermediary company, right?" ”

"I don't know, I just know that I pay the rent every month, and as for them not receiving it, that's their business, what does it matter to me? They harassed me like that, I could have called the police to defend myself, right? ”

Miss Zhang's tone was tough and angry, and it was also because she was harassed by the landlord and her family and friends during this time, and she had reached the extreme of toleration with another tenant.

Officer Li waved his hand and asked Miss Zhang to calm down first.

I asked the landlord and his family again: "Your house is rented to an agent, right?" ”

The landlord stood up and spoke: "Yes, but the agent has sublet this house to Xiao Zhang, I found an agent in the last quarter of last year, and the agent has not paid the rent, and has been dragging on saying that the tenant has not paid the money, saying that the two girls are unemployed and have no money for the time being, so that they can be accommodating." It's been more than half a year since I was accommodating. I said last year that if I couldn't afford the rent, I wouldn't rent it to Xiao Zhang, but they still signed a renewal contract. It doesn't matter if the agent is there, the house is not theirs after all, but I can't, I have to collect the rent, and my family is waiting to get the money. How can it be just that? The two of them have been living in vain for more than half a year, and I have the right to take back the house and rent it for myself, right? ”

Officer Li said: "So the most important real estate agent, where are the people now?" Why don't you coordinate with someone from an intermediary? ”

"I can't find it, there's no one." The landlord waved his head.

On the other hand, Miss Zhang also said: "The intermediary company has been emptied, the original intermediary company is now being renovated, and the phone calls that could have been reached are no longer available, WeChat can't be connected, and we just can't find anyone, so we can't do anything." ”

Officer Li said: "The intermediary is the culprit, and people like you are not alone, there have been many cases in this city in recent months. So, let's file a case first, and you both go back to the police station with me. ”

"Comrade policeman, can you let them move out quickly? My house is here, and I haven't seen a cent of rent since the second half of last year, so I have the right to take it back, right? As for the intermediary, if you want to arrest the intermediary, that's your police's business, and you can compensate how you want to compensate after you are caught, after all, it was the intermediary who took their money, didn't it? The landlord insisted.
