Before we sign
Before signing: your lease summary
An English summary of my current offer to help you review the terms before signing. It does not reserve a room or create a tenancy. We agree the exact room, dates, occupants and configuration privately, then sign through Tencent E-sign or in person. Confirm the final language and documents; the signed lease in the language we agree is the contract.
Current rooms and lease pricing
Currently available: B5-1404 and B5-1806. Confirm the move-in date and availability with me before paying. Other rooms in the portfolio are unavailable.
Choose 3–12 whole months. Monthly rent = the 12-month base + (12 − lease months) × ¥50. The chosen monthly rate stays fixed throughout the agreed term; the two-month deposit uses that rate.
B5-1404 · 12 months: ¥2,800/month, management included. Two-month deposit ¥5,600; first month prepaid ¥2,800; my signing fee ¥2,800. Initial lease total ¥11,200, including the ¥1,000 reservation credited to the deposit. After reservation: remaining deposit ¥4,600 and first rent are due before move-in; the signing fee is due at signing. Remaining initial balance ¥10,200. Total rent for 12 months ¥33,600; total cash including deposit and signing fee ¥42,000, excluding water, electricity and internet.
B5-1806 · 12 months: ¥3,000/month, management included. Two-month deposit ¥6,000; first month prepaid ¥3,000; my signing fee ¥3,000. Initial lease total ¥12,000, including the ¥1,000 reservation credited to the deposit. After reservation: remaining deposit ¥5,000 and first rent are due before move-in; the signing fee is due at signing. Remaining initial balance ¥11,000. Total rent for 12 months ¥36,000; total cash including deposit and signing fee ¥45,000, excluding water, electricity and internet.
Payments and the signing fee
Rent is paid monthly in advance. Where quoted, my one-off signing fee is selected monthly rent × lease months ÷ 12, rounded to the nearest ¥0.01, payable at signing and included in the initial total. This is my quoted fee. Confirm the recipient, receipt and its cancellation or early-termination treatment in writing before paying.
I accept UnionPay, Alipay, WeChat Pay, Visa, Mastercard and bank transfer. Foreign-currency payment is available by agreement. Confirm the channel, currency, exchange rate, any fees and verified payment details privately. Acceptance does not guarantee that every card or transfer works. There is no payment checkout on this website.
Agree the monthly due date, billing periods, any partial-month calculation and receipt arrangements in the final written terms.
Reservation and security deposit
After confirming availability and written reservation terms, pay ¥1,000 directly to me toward the two-month security deposit. It is not an extra charge and is counted once in the initial total.
Under my policy, the ¥1,000 reservation payment is not refunded if you voluntarily cancel lease registration and filing (备案); it is refunded if that filing is not approved. Agree other cancellation situations, proof, refund method and timing in writing before paying.
If you end the lease before the agreed end date, the security deposit is not refunded. At the normal end of the lease, after move-out and settlement of water, electricity, any outstanding property management fees and other applicable costs, including equipment damage or cleaning, the remaining security deposit is returned within 1–3 business days. Specific deductions, supporting evidence and the refund method remain to be agreed in writing. The reservation rules and security-deposit rules are separate.
What is included and the handover inventory
Management is included in rent. Water is ¥5/m³; electricity is approximately ¥0.78–0.80/kWh at the applicable monthly rate, charged by metered usage. The ¥280–300 per person per month utilities allowance is a planning estimate, not a fixed bill or cap. Internet is self-arranged; check supplier availability for the exact unit.
The standard furniture and appliances shown on the room page are subject to an agreed handover inventory. For the currently available rooms, choose an 80 cm round dining table with two chairs or a work desk by agreement before move-in. Confirm the exact configuration, quantities, condition, keys and starting meter readings together; videos and plans do not replace the handover inspection.
Overseas renters, filing and keys
I have completed lease filing and police accommodation registration for a previous overseas tenant. These apartment-style units have office registered use on their title. Prior experience does not establish approval for every room, intended use or tenant; check the exact room and requirements before agreement.
Allow at least 5 business days for the full process, from application and confirmation through lease filing and police accommodation registration. This is a minimum planning allowance, not a promise of completion within 5 business days. This planning allowance is not a room hold. Before travel, we can agree the exact room and configuration and sign through Tencent E-sign so I can prepare filing in advance. Confirm paperwork, police arrangements and the move-in date with me before travelling; readiness on arrival is not guaranteed.
After signing, I submit lease filing through the Guangzhou Housing Rental Information Service Platform and the local street rental management centre. In my experience, its document takes 1–3 business days for that filing stage only; this is not an official deadline or an approval guarantee. With the filing document, we arrange police accommodation registration under local requirements, then I handle the follow-up WeChat mini-program record. I require police registration confirmation and all required steps before key handover and move-in.
If you choose a room after arriving, plan to stay in a hotel while we select the room, sign and complete the steps. Viewing does not mean immediate move-in. Lease filing and accommodation registration are separate; neither is a visa or residence permit. Confirm the accepted procedure, documents, authority, timing and response to delay or refusal for your exact stay in writing.
Details to settle in the signed lease
Record the exact room, intended use, occupants, start and end dates, payment schedule and verified parties privately. Agree the inventory, repairs and access arrangements, notices, renewal, unused prepaid rent, signing-fee treatment, other cancellation remedies and their refund timing in writing. This summary does not fill those gaps with assumed terms.
Let’s agree the details.
Send me your room, dates and questions before signing.
