Chapter 367 Solution
Sure enough, she was not the only one who thought so, Section Chief Zhu also had the same idea.
"This shouldn't have any impact on us, right? I don't know why the people would go to them instead of the Housing Authority, but they can go to whoever they want, as long as it doesn't affect the work of the bureau."
At this time, Sister Wang suddenly said: "I can guess the reason, maybe it's because we are sometimes too busy.
Recently, more and more houses are being rented out and sold in Beijing, and our employees are a little too busy to keep up. Not to mention other things, sometimes we have to wait for several days just to view a house.
Buying a house often requires a long queue, and those who don’t want to wait may go to a private agency.”
Director Liu looked unhappy when he heard this. "How many people are you short of? Let me see if I can apply for two more temporary workers."
Sister Wang shook her head with a heavy face, "This matter cannot be solved by two temporary workers. Beijing is so big, and there are so many houses to be traded. Even if ten more temporary workers come, they will definitely not be able to handle it.
In fact, I also think it’s good to have a private business. Just like Chief Zhu said, they can also help us share the burden. If we need help, we can just go to them and if we don’t, we can just go to us, right?”
Director Liu sighed, "It's not that simple. The Public Security Bureau has received a lot of reports recently, all of which are related to this kind of people's service center.
Some people paid them to help them rent or sell houses, but many of them were dissatisfied or cheated, which caused a lot of trouble.
The higher-ups found out about it, investigated it, and criticized our Housing Authority, saying that it was because we didn’t do our job well that ordinary people had to turn to private institutions.”
After hearing this, Lin Yuzhu knew why Director Liu was angry, and couldn't help but say: "This can't be blamed on us. Just like Sister Wang said, we are too busy and there is nothing we can do about it."
Sister Wang also said: "That's right, and there are many such cases in the houses we rent out. Sometimes the staff in the bureau not only have to rent houses, but also have to resolve disputes between tenants and landlords. Sometimes they also have to do the work of the street office and the Women's Federation. It's not easy."
Director Liu sighed, "I understand, and I have explained it to the leadership. At present, the existence of private service agencies is a fact, and we have no way to control it. The leadership wants us to play a supervisory role.
Selling a house is not a big deal, as the property ownership certificate must be registered at the Housing Authority, but renting a house is a bit more troublesome. Usually, it is rented privately, and it is difficult to handle if something goes wrong. Think about what you can do.”
Everyone was silent after hearing this. After all, this issue had never been brought up before and they were not the police, so they had no right to control whether someone rented a house or not.
Lin Yuzhu thought carefully about the situation of rental agencies in later generations. The main reason why they looked more professional was that they had signed contracts with both the landlords and the tenants.
But the agent at this moment knew with his toes that there was no such thing.
After all, they only earn a few dollars in commission for each service. If they hire a lawyer, they will lose a lot of money.
So he thought about it and said, "Why don't we just come up with a policy in the name of the Housing Authority?"
"What policy?" asked Director Liu.
Lin Yuzhu considered her words and said, "It means that all industries related to renting and selling houses must sign legally binding contracts with owners and customers, otherwise they are not allowed to have business dealings privately."
