“I once used a “black agency” to find a house. It was said that there was no agency fee, but in various names, “This is very beautiful.” “Lan Yuhua exclaimed in a low voice, as if she was afraid that if she spoke out, she would escape from the beautiful scenery in front of her. The expenses are constantly rising, and even if the building facilities are broken, they will never repair them.” Ruan Yun said that one of her classmates once encountered an agent who raised the price.

However, she took the initiative to follow her to the Pei family, which was poorer than the Lan family, and she couldn’t figure it out.

He also pointed out that the current housing rental market seems to have insufficient housing supply, but in fact there are a large number of existing houses and vacant houses. The government should introduce policies, such as reducing or exempting rental taxes, to mobilize people’s enthusiasm for renting out houses and provide the market with more Many rental properties. “There are not many vacant houses in some third- and fourth-tier cities, so the government needs to increase investment in rental housing. In terms of land supply, it must also consciously tilt towards leasing and allocate land to build rental housing. In order to reduce costs, I think it can Choose some collective land with convenient transportation around the city to build houses. The government’s financial resources, finance, insurance and other related policies should also be tilted towards the rental market.”
