Chapter 33: Signing a rental contract
She looked at Jiang Xin and hesitated.
He seemed to be thinking whether to agree to Jiang Xin's request.
After all, it's rare for someone to take a fancy to her house.
This opportunity is hard to come by. If you miss it, you may never have it again.
If she rejected Jiang Xin's proposal, it would take an unknown amount of time before the house could be rented out.
It’s not long before her son starts school, and some things need to be planned in advance.
As soon as he heard Jiang Xin's request, he wanted her to move out the beds in the other two rooms.
She wants to use the vacant room as a warehouse.
The boss's sister-in-law became a little worried.
For no other reason, from the beginning to the end, she asked the tenants of this house to pay a deposit, because she was afraid that someone else would rent their house and not take good care of it in the end.
Jiang Xin seems like a reliable person.
Renting the house to her should give me a lot of peace of mind.
But her proposal was somewhat daunting.
After all, they will still have to live in this house when they move back in the future.
What if Jiang Xin uses the room as a warehouse and destroys it?
At that time, even though they had left a deposit in advance, they couldn't deduct it from others. In the end, they were the only ones who felt bad.
The boss's sister-in-law bit her lip after hearing this.
I feel so conflicted.
Jiang Xin, in particular, asked her to move the beds in the other two bedrooms.
The three of them have been living in this town and have nowhere else to go.
If this bed is moved out, there will be no place to put it.
The same thing happened at her husband's sister's house. The house was not big but it was packed full and there was no room for two beds.
However, if this house is rented to someone else, it can be used in the same way.
Moreover, Jiang Xin said that the goods she stockpiled were all daily necessities that didn’t take up much space, so they shouldn’t cause any damage to the house, right?
In fact, from the beginning to the end, the boss's sister-in-law was only worried about one thing, which was that she was afraid that the house would be destroyed.
After all, it is an old house that I have lived in for many years, so I still have some feelings for it.
I moved out like this, but I still felt worried.
What's more, there are expensive electrical appliances such as refrigerators and sofas in the house, and the beds in the other two rooms have been used for decades and should be discarded.
If in the end, this house is really rented to Jiang Xin, and if the two beds cannot be placed in my sister-in-law's house, it would be better to sell them directly to the second-hand market and get some money back.
They are the lowest class, and they have to live in the provincial capital for three or four years. When they come back, if the bed is not big enough, they can just buy a new one.
Jiang Xin could naturally see the dilemma faced by the boss's sister-in-law.
She thought about it, and actually, she could guess what the boss's sister-in-law was struggling with.
So, before the breakfast stall owner's sister-in-law spoke, Jiang Xin spoke in advance:
"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry. Although I want to use it as a warehouse to store goods, I will definitely take good care of the house."
"And they are all daily necessities, kettles, lunch boxes, towels, soap and the like."
"Just like you normally put your sundries, you can think about it."
After hearing this, the breakfast stall owner thought about it for a moment, then smiled cheerfully and said to Jiang Xin:
"Okay, then I promise you."
"I can rent this house to you, but I have some requirements."
"As long as you take good care of my house, I can even give you a reduced deposit."
"You can use the furniture and appliances in this house for free."
After that, they discussed it and started drafting the contract.
The breakfast stall owner's sister-in-law was obviously well-educated. Originally, Jiang Xin thought that she had to write the contract herself.
As a result, after the breakfast stall owner's sister-in-law and they had discussed the rules and regulations, she quickly wrote the contract.
Jiang Xin took a look and found that all the rules and regulations were written clearly and reasonably, without any procrastination.
Jiang Xin saw this and her eyes lit up instantly.
The agreed price is thirty yuan a month.
Jiang Xin directly chose the annual rent. People of this era usually rent houses on a monthly basis. It is extremely rare for someone to rent a house for a whole year in one go, as Jiang Xin did.
For the owner of the breakfast stall and her sister-in-law, it is simply too worry-free.
If it is a monthly rent, some people rent for one month and originally planned to rent it for the next month, but they leave halfway through the rent, which is another loss for the landlord.
Because renting out a house requires time costs.
If they can’t find the next person to rent the house, the house will be empty over time and they won’t make any money.
So, after learning that Jiang Xin was going to pay a year's rent in one lump sum, the boss's sister-in-law was so happy that her mouth stretched to the back of her head.
She was so happy that she waived two dollars of rent for Jiang Xin for a month.
So in the end, the price was settled at twenty-eight dollars a month.
Jiang Xin paid a total of three hundred and thirty-six yuan.
After paying the rent, she deposited half of it directly.
Jiang Xin's heart suddenly felt a slight pain.
But on second thought, the money used to rent a house can kill two birds with one stone, as I can now have both a warehouse and a place to live.
This saves her from having to rent another warehouse.
In this case, the rent would not be so expensive.
If she rents another warehouse, the price won't be much cheaper.
Jiang Xin took out the money she had hidden in the space from her pocket and paid half of it as a deposit.
Because she hadn't moved in yet and the boss's sister-in-law still lived here, they suggested that Jiang Xin pay the rent in one lump sum after she moved in.
Because the boss's sister-in-law's son's school start date has already been decided.
Therefore, the date on the contract was set for one month later.
After making sure that there was nothing else to do, Jiang Xin said goodbye to the boss's sister-in-law and left.
After all, the forestry department is still setting up stalls in the vegetable market.
She doesn't know what the situation is yet.
Because yesterday, she considered that she had to move the goods by herself, so she didn't move the food, but chose some daily necessities.
She thought that if sales were not good today, she would consider changing the product category next time.
Now that she has paid the rent, she really doesn't have much money in her pocket. Not only that, although she can now get everything she eats, wears and uses from the space.
However, she still has to pay forestry wages.
She had no plan to pay Lin Ye's salary after a month.
