　　Regarding the issue of “long receipt and short payment (the cycle of collecting rent from the lessee is longer than the cycle of paying the rent to the owner of the house)”, cities represented by Chongqing and Xi'an have chosen to include rent under supervision.

Specifically, Chongqing and other places have made it clear that rents paid by lessees for more than 3 months are included in the supervision account, and the rent will be transferred to housing leasing companies on a monthly basis; Xi’an has made it clear that the daily income and expenditure of the special supervision account for "custodial" leasing companies Supervision is carried out.

Can a long-term apartment be trusted?

　　On December 3, Zhuge Real Estate Analyst Chen Xiao said in an interview with the Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client that with the implementation of various favorable national policies and the strengthening of supervision of long-term rental apartments, the standardization of the industry has gradually increased, and the leasing market is strong. With market demand, the future development of long-term rental apartments can still be expected.

　　If you continue to choose long-term apartment rentals, Chen Xiao suggested that in the selection of long-term rental apartment agencies, we should try to choose formal platform agencies and pay attention to whether the agencies have had negative news.

In addition, when signing a contract, carefully check the content of the contract and whether there is a relevant commitment to protect your rights and interests.

　　Yan Yuejin, research director of the Think Tank Center of E-House Research Institute, told Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client that the current situation shows that brand long-term rental apartments will also have problems. It is not a brand company that will continue to operate steadily.

When staying in a long-term rental apartment, it is recommended to learn a little about the operating pressure of the company.

　　As for whether you can continue to choose the "rental loan" mode to pay rent, Chen Xiao said that when choosing a "rental loan", it is recommended to make a cautious decision and try to avoid being "rental loaned" to avoid falling into the loan trap.

However, if you must choose to apply for a "rental loan" for various reasons, you must also pay attention to choosing a reputable, large-scale formal loan platform, and carefully review the relevant loan regulations.

　　In the unfortunate event of an accident in the long-term rental of an apartment after choosing "rental loan", Chen Xiao suggested that the relevant communication records, payment and loan records, etc. should be collected first to ensure that there is sufficient evidence in the judicial process.

In addition, it is necessary to actively use legal means to protect its own legitimate rights and interests, and organize relevant victims to file lawsuits with relevant departments collectively.
