In the second half of 1999, Jiang Village is confirmed for demolition.
However, earlier that year, An Jianping's family made two significant moves:
First, they sold two plots of the...
Chapter 286 Lease Termination
When they saw the people waiting for them in the house, they looked for a long time but didn't see a familiar face, and they were dumbfounded.
Someone subconsciously asked, "Where is the owner?"
"Does the landlord have to come in person to cancel the lease?" The former agency manager who got the task asked curiously.
Seeing that those people still didn't react, she explained:
"You signed the rental contract with the landlord through our agency. We are also entrusted by the landlord to handle the termination of the lease for you."
"But..." Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But in their whole family, the only one who has a phone now is the young man in the hospital.
This meant that even if they wanted to make a phone call to ask, they were unable to do so.
What's more, they came here with other purposes today.
A smart person suddenly came up with an idea: "Um...Excuse me, do you have a cell phone? Can I borrow it?"
The agent looked at the man speechlessly.
Is this phone borrowed casually?
The silence fee is not cheap to begin with, and it seems like they were specifically entrusted with the task, and it doesn't seem like they want to talk to these people face to face in person.
"If that doesn't work, please call the landlord!" The young man's father was more decisive and said directly:
"If the landlord doesn't come forward, there's no need for us to discuss the matter of renting out the house."
"Oh, I see..." The agent packed up the things and walked out with a smile.
"Wait, aren't you going to make a call?" Someone quickly grabbed the agent.
The intermediary frowned, and after trying twice to shake off the other party's hand without success, he said in a particularly unpleasant tone:
"What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Stop using your hands!"
"What do you mean? I clearly told you to call, but you left without calling. What do you want?" The group of people subconsciously surrounded him.
But the agent's glare frightened me so much that I slowed down my pace a little.
"You'd better stay away from me. The owner of the house has already told you that your family is not easy to approach."
"If there is any unusual movement, we can call the police directly."
As she said this, she also shouted directly to the outside world.
As soon as she finished speaking, several people around her responded.
After a while, some people came over from the neighboring houses.
When the group saw this, they immediately stopped and walked over.
I saw several young men of different ages, all with unhappy looks, opening the door and walking in one by one.
After they came in, they didn't say anything. They just stood near the door and looked at them.
When the young man's father saw this situation, he quickly said:
"It's just a misunderstanding. We just want to make things clear."
"What do you want to say?" The agent shook his hand away in annoyance and said:
"I've already said that the landlord has given me the responsibility to handle the termination of the lease."
"In the end you said you still need to find the landlord."
"The landlord has already told us that it doesn't matter whether you look for the landlord or not, or whether you want to return the property or not."
"Anyway, our people are here to do it for you today!"
"Since you don't want to do it, just call the police tomorrow and have it handled."
"They don't want, and are unwilling to have contact with you."
"After all, they did a good job of demolishing the house, posted a notice to vacate the house, paid the compensation, waived the rent, and even helped find a new house, without charging any agency fees."
"What about you guys?"
"I've never seen anything like this before. People are greedy, are they talking about people like you?"
"It's fine if he just refuses to leave, but he still refuses to pay for medical expenses when he doesn't even have a house to live in."
"If we can have less contact with people like this, no one would want to get close to them."
"And yet you still don't have any self-awareness?"
"Stop talking nonsense. The police haven't made a judgment yet. What right do you have to say that we are refusing to pay the landlord for medical expenses?" The group of people frowned and refuted directly.
"Yes, yes, whatever you say is right!" The agent was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and directly signaled the people she brought to go out first.
Then he stood by the door and said to everyone, "Since you don't want to cancel the lease, then leave now!"
"Wait, when did we say we didn't want to quit?" The young man's father had no intention of leaving at all.
Seeing the agent looking at me with a frown on his face, he said directly:
"You're asking us to cancel the lease without even taking us to my son's room?"
"Then at least, we have to see if my son's things are still there!"
As soon as he said this, not only the agent, but even the people who were waiting outside the door couldn't help but twitch their lips.
"You are really a person who doesn't preach. How dare you say such things?"
"You should ask your son whether the things are well kept and the door is well locked!"
"After all, he lived here alone at the beginning."
"The landlord told him that the place was going to be demolished, but he still refused to leave."
"We can't rent him a house and arrange for someone to look after it, right?"
As they talked, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
When the young man's family saw this situation, their faces darkened even more.
But they had no other choice but to turn to the agent.
After all, they knew which room the young man lived in.
However, they also knew that the building was now without water and electricity. When they came over just now, they saw the lights on the first floor and wondered whether the owner had restored the power supply.
But until this matter was confirmed, they didn't dare let the agent leave.
The agent was extremely helpless, but he could only pick up the large flashlight in his handbag and illuminate the group of people.
Some of the people outside the door also walked in, and they also held flashlights of different sizes in their hands.
Two people followed the group upstairs, while the rest remained on the first floor.
Upstairs, the young man's room was not very messy. When his family went in and saw this situation, they didn't know how to describe their feelings.
But when it came to packing, the group was undecided for a moment.
Logically speaking, you should complete the rental cancellation procedures first and then pack your luggage.
Only after they came to the city did they realize that they had to pay a deposit to rent a house!
The homeowner followed the formal procedures, and naturally no process was missed.
However, this time it was not just the homeowner who didn't come.
According to the landlord, it seems that there will be no compensation for check-out.
Because they have posted the notice to vacate the lease for more than a month.
One of the factors of force majeure also includes government policy.
As for this matter, they asked about it out of caution when they left the police station today.
They originally thought that the landlord would always bring up the rental contract as an excuse.
Maybe the rental contract itself is not necessarily reasonable.
But they never expected that when this incident happened, the An family even provided a copy of the rental contract.
There is really nothing particularly illegal about the regulations.
