Do you know some rental tips？

Many people are confused about how to negotiate rent and deposit when they first come to China? What is the tax? How to pay for water and electricity bills, and how much is more appropriate? Let me share a few of my rental experiences first.

1. Water and electricity fees are divided into commercial water and electricity and civilian water and electricity. Before moving in, you need to ask the landlord about the type of residence, as commercial water and electricity are more expensive.

2. Rent is usually paid by paying a one month deposit and paying three months' rent in advance. How to refund the deposit should be clarified before signing the contract with the landlord.

3. Many foreign friends who come here for the first time do not know what taxes are. If you want to obtain a rental reimbursement voucher, you need to pay taxes. Before moving in, you can negotiated with the landlord to let them pay for this money, which can save some expenses.
