Renting a suitable apartment in Beijing https://www.amerlish.us/life-in-china-renting-a-suitable-apartment-in-beijing/ Fri, 20 Dec 2019 03:45:52 +0000 https://www.amerlish.us/?p=9534 Kevin, a teacher at Amerlish, rented an apartment in Beijing with the help of Amerlish. His neighborhood is called Hongliancun(红联村), which is near Amerlish, so he can walk to work in 15 minutes. There is the convenience of restaurants and a big supermarket near the apartment. Want to know how you can rent an apartment like Kevin? Please read the following contents.

Renting a Chinese apartment is likely to be a process far different than what you expected before, so Amerlish will provide some insider tips and resources to help you along the way.

There are a number of ways that you can begin your search for an apartment in China. You can start with the country-specific apartment search engines and portals, such as Ziroom.

Ziroom is a Chinese rental services platform provides home rental and property management services. you could see all the prices on the table below the map on their website and app. The amount for the deposit, rent and service fee will depend if you choose to pay monthly, quarterly, half-year etc. The longer the period, the cheaper it is.

You also could use their app to sign the contract, pay deposit, rent etc. Everything is done through the app. It is convenient but everything needs to be written in Chinese, and you have to get a Chinese phone number first. So it’s difficult for you to rent a suitable apartment through Ziroom without Chinese friends’ help.

But you still can use Ziroom to find where you would like to live and look for neighborhoods you like. This could be a place close to public transportation, a big shopping mall or near your place of work.

After scouting out several neighborhoods that fit your demands, you can go directly to an agency, which is the easiest way to rent an apartment in China. Amerlish could recommend you the most reputable agency in that area.

An agency saves you time in having to do all the legwork in finding an available apartment or sifting through all the online listings, many of which are fake and redundant.

The only catch with using an agency is the fee that you will pay for the service, which is dependent on the rent and other circumstances (e.g. how soon you need an apartment, season, etc.). In many cases, the fee would be half of one month’s rent.

No matter which apartment you decide to rent in Beijing, Amerlish would provide you housing stipend, which allows you to spend less money on housing and have a more decent life in Beijing.
