Two landlords rent a house (some house owners also rent houses in groups), simply space them out, and put them down. High and low beds, focusing on urban "ants", job apartments, youth apartments, and student apartments, although they have different brands, in essence they are all "cage houses."
Current laws and regulations stipulate that it is illegal to "change residence" without authorization.
However, because the main demanders of group rental housing are low-income groups, such as college students and migrant workers, they cannot afford to buy or rent a house, so they can only choose cheaper ones. Group rental.
Therefore, only by solving the needs of this group of people can the problem of group renting be fundamentally solved.

If the group renting in the community affects the lives of surrounding residents, in addition to finding the landlord, they can also report to the local housing administration department. Stop homeowners from messing around with partitions.
A few days ago, Zhang Nongke, deputy director of the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission, revealed this news when interpreting the "Beijing Municipal Housing Construction Safety Management Measures" that will be implemented on May 1.
Since group rental houses that have a greater impact on the lives of surrounding neighbors are more common in the current housing rental market, the "Measures" stipulate that once it is discovered that the main body and load-bearing structure of the building have been changed without authorization, and the house has been identified as dangerous, it will Management will be recorded in the security file.
“It is illegal to install partitions in group-rented houses without permission, which increases the load on the house structure.
In addition to the owners and tenants who can apply for a safety appraisal, once neighbors find out, they can also If you report a complaint to the local housing administration department, the competent authority will stop it, require it to be restored to its original appearance, and impose a fine of up to 50,000 yuan.

According to regulations, if owners are worried about the quality and safety of their houses, they can apply for a house quality and safety appraisal from a formal agency.
Li Ziqiang, director of the Housing Safety Management Department of the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission, said that Beijing currently has 25 registered housing safety appraisal agencies, and citizens can log on to the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission website to inquire.

The first floor has four bedrooms and one living room, including a single room, a two-person room, a four-person room, and a six-person room; the second floor has four bedrooms and two living rooms. There is a bathroom and a kitchen, and most rooms in the apartment are separated by gypsum boards. There are nearly thirty beds in total.
Some cage houses are denser, with more than 20 beds. The latter was newly opened half a month ago and was renovated from a residence of less than 100 square meters. , with 18 beds.
The living room has 6 beds, leaving only a wooden sofa and TV at the entrance.
These cage houses are generally mixed with men and women, but the beds are concentrated in one or two rooms, and the living room and bathroom are shared.
Since each apartment will have someone on site to manage it, residents are required to see even their university diplomas to ensure safety.
5. Management of cage houses Second landlords should strengthen internal management and try to avoid some public security or criminal cases in cage houses.
For example, the most common security case in group rentals is theft. Landlords have made great efforts in this area. First, they learn from the tourism industry to strictly check the identity of the tenants. Generally, they will check the tenant’s ID card and student ID card. , graduates must check their graduation certificates to prevent people from "three religions and nine streams" from mixing in; secondly, most of the second landlords personally stay at the site to "see" the management, and take some skillful preventive measures. For example, some second landlords will check for a month The above long-term tenants will be provided with keys, but the tenant only has the iron door key. At night, she will finally lock the wooden door herself, so that even if the long-term tenant's key is leaked, she cannot enter the house; thirdly, some large-scale cage houses are equipped with There are private lockers, one for each person, and tenants can store their laptops, graduation certificates, degree certificates and other valuables in the lockers.

Guangdiao mainly refers to a group whose work and life are basically uncertain, including college students who have just arrived in Guangzhou to find a job or are still in the probation period, foreign students who come to Guangzhou temporarily to prepare for exams or exams, and students who are in Guangzhou. Businessmen looking for business opportunities, etc.
According to multiple apartment landlords, the first two groups are currently the most important customer groups in cage houses, accounting for more than half.
7. Things to note Before signing a rental contract, be sure to ask the landlord to take out the property ownership certificate and check to see if the house belongs to this person.
For some husband's houses that only have the right to use, it depends on whether the landlord's public housing rental certificate matches the one.
It is best not to rent a resale house from a second or third landlord. If you must rent, the previous tenant must provide proof such as the housing contract to avoid being deceived.
After signing the contract, you must leave the landlord’s contact information. The more detailed the better.
When signing a rental contract, it is also necessary to specify the rental date, rental period, rent, rent change method, etc. to avoid using vague language.
If you want to rent for a year, don’t sign a half-year contract to prevent the landlord from raising the price midway.
At the same time, the original furniture, home appliances and other facilities in the rental house should be listed in detail in the contract, preferably including the quantity and price, and then the maintenance obligations for these ancillary facilities and equipment should also be clearly agreed upon. .
If something is broken, who will repair it and who will pay for it must be agreed in advance.
As for the rent and deposit, they must also be clearly discussed and written down.
For newcomers to society, since they have just started working, it is best to pay a smaller deposit.
If the landlord's appliances are of good quality and require a higher deposit, you can either ask the landlord to charge less of the first rent, for example, deposit 2 months' rent first and pay one month's rent.
In short, you must leave room for your own life arrangements.
Of course, water bills, electricity bills, telephone bills, property management fees and other cost burdens must also be negotiated in advance whether they are included in the rent.
If it is not included, is it a monthly fixed amount or is it borne by the lessee based on actual usage? In addition, it also includes payment methods, etc.
Furthermore, the liability for breach of contract must be clear.
For example, if the lessor expects to deliver the house, or the lessee expects to quit the lease at the end of the lease term, liquidated damages can be charged daily at a rate higher than the rent.
If the lessee takes back the house without negotiation, or the lessee cancels the lease, it can be agreed to bear a higher liquidated damages in one go, or it can be agreed to pay the rent for the unused lease period as a breach of contract. gold.
Attention should be paid to all kinds of details.
8. Potential safety hazards Group rentals frequently appear in the market, and are regarded by the industry as a deformed product of high rents.
Through on-site investigation, we learned that in many group rental houses, the structure of the house has been changed to varying degrees, and waterways and circuits have been modified. Some owners use boards of non-refractory materials to separate rooms, and wires are distributed randomly, which can easily cause fires. A major safety hazard.
“To change the internal layout of the house or change the original planning and design, you need to submit an application to the planning and construction department for approval and re-apply for construction. At the same time, it must pass the fire inspection and acceptance before it can be put into use. Otherwise, it is illegal construction.
