Tiger Police

Chapter 516 Rent Increase
"I remember very clearly that it was the end of September, and the National Day holiday was a few days away. She came to us and said that the rent would be raised from next month, one thousand a month."

Hu Pingtao sounded a little strange: "Why is your rental agreement signed on a monthly basis?"

Huang Ping explained: "It is signed on an annual basis. At that time, it was negotiated that the rent should be paid every six months, and it happened to be half a year at that time. The landlord said that the rent must be raised in the second half of the year, otherwise the house will not be rented to us."

Long Xu frowned and asked: "Then she violated the agreement, she should compensate you?"

Zhou Fandi smiled wryly, and explained: "I understand the truth! I found this place through an intermediary at the time, and the rental contract was also made by the intermediary, and their official seal was stamped. According to the agreement, if any party repents halfway, it must follow the law. Three times the rent shall be compensated."

"At that time, the rent was 800 yuan a month, three times that would be 400 yuan."

"But...but I had already opened the snack bar at that time!"

Zhou Fangdi pointed out to Long Xu: "The pot and stove must be remodeled, and the water must be drained every day when cooking noodles and rice noodles. This is done in accordance with the requirements of community sanitation. If you are caught violating the regulations, you will be fined, so in the overall renovation This aspect is a big item. Although I did it according to the minimum standard, but overall, there are more than 1 to nearly 2 yuan."

"Pots, pans, tables, chairs, and benches add up to several thousand. Although I bought second-hand goods through my fellow villagers and friends, they are still money!"

"There is also a business license, which is quite troublesome to obtain. I have made several trips."

"All these together, the snack bar finally opened, but at this time the landlord came over and said that he wanted to increase the rent... Tell me, can I not agree?"

Zhou Fandi was a little bit aggrieved: "If she had said earlier that she would raise the price, I would definitely not want this house! But she saw the right time, and she saw that I couldn't refuse, and I couldn't move away, so I decided to open it. Conditions. So knowing that she breached the contract, but the triple compensation is only more than 2000 yuan, what use is it to me?"

Qin Xuefen was a little unhappy listening to it.She angrily yelled at Zhou Fandi: "My shop has good feng shui. If you didn't rent my house, how could you make so much money? Shouldn't I raise the rent a bit?"

Huang Ping is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and was about to open her mouth to scold back, but her husband stopped her.

Zhou Fandi stared at Tan Xuefen, and said slowly, "It's my job to make money, okay? I'm busy from morning to night, in your opinion, it should be right?"

"Please inquire carefully. The houses nearby have the same conditions as yours. Which one has a rent as high as yours?"

Then, he turned to Hu Pingtao and poured out his bitterness: "It is really difficult for me to do business here. At that time, I really had no choice, so I agreed. One thousand is one thousand, at worst it is a little less money. As long as The more guests come, the more money you will make."

"But half a year later, the landlord came to the door again, saying that the rent would increase to [-] a month next year."

"Business was booming at that time. I couldn't have closed the shop for 2000 yuan! My wife and I made up our minds and didn't bother with her. Two thousand is two thousand."

Hu Pingtao looked at Zhou Fandi sympathetically: "Then the rent went up again?"

"...Yeah!" Zhou Fandi let out a long breath: "In the third year, the rent will be raised to 1000 a month. Hehe... How can you comment on this method, adding [-] a year? Yuan... at the beginning it was agreed to be [-] a month!"

"Last week, it wasn't half a year, nor a year. She came to see me."

As he said that, Zhou Fandi pointed at Tan Xuefen: "She really talked too much that day! The first thing she said when she entered the door was to increase the rent."

"After all these years of getting along, I can see clearly that she is very greedy and doesn't like others. In such a big place, who will give 3000 yuan a month except me?"

Hu Pingtao asked noncommittally: "How much does she want to increase the rent?"

Zhou Fandi put it off on purpose: "You are a policeman, you are well-informed, guess what number she wants?"

Reminiscent of what Zhou Anti-Emperor said before, "one price increase every year", Hu Pingtao asked suspiciously: "Could it be [-] per month?"

This number is outrageous.

The provincial capital of Yunnan Province belongs to the third-tier cities.Of course, in terms of some media publicity, it can be regarded as a second-tier city.But in fact, many people think that they can't even be ranked in the third tier, and at most belong to the fourth tier cities.

City rankings involve various interests and problems, but one thing is certain——combining various factors, the average house price in the provincial capital in recent years is about 2000.Except for hotspot areas, the rent of ordinary residential buildings of about [-] square meters is usually around [-] yuan.

Of course, there are also houses with a monthly rent of 3000 yuan.But those are all in the city center, definitely not this kind of urban village in the corner of a back street.

Hu Pingtao lives in Jinyuan, Peninsula.The monthly rent for a mansion with the same size and structure is only three thousand and sixty-six.

Zhou Fandi sighed: "If it was only 4000 yuan, we wouldn't be able to quarrel today."

His wife, Huang Ping, said indignantly, "She just asked us to ask for [-], [-] a month!"

When the number exploded, the onlookers immediately exploded.

They are all from the same village, they don't look up and look down, and they are very clear about each other's affairs.

"Fuck, seven thousand a month, why don't you go grab it, Qin Xuefen?"

"My rented houses are about the same size as this one, and I only receive 500 yuan a month. The difference is that mine is a building, and the door of Qin Xuefen's house opens to the outside. If I had known this, I would The wall is smashed."

"It's too dark, 7000 yuan! This is about the same as my rent for a year."

"I just heard about it today. I didn't know it before. This... This is really too much."

Most of the people's comments were negative, and Qin Xuefen felt uncomfortable after hearing this.She raised her hand and pointed around, spitting stars flying around and cursing.

"I am the master of my house, how much rent do you control?"

"It doesn't cost me to hire someone to smash the wall? My house is facing the street, so I mean the shop front is the shop front. The rent of the shop front is much more expensive than ordinary houses. Besides, I didn't force people, do you understand the freedom of renting?"

"Old Zhou himself said just now that he is indeed making a lot of money by opening a store. There are tens of thousands in a month. You are all fools fighting against injustice, and even helping to count the money when they are sold."

"His monthly profit is tens of thousands! What if I raise the rent a little? It's only 7000 yuan. To him, it's like a hair on a buffalo."

Hu Pingtao glanced at Tan Xuefen coldly: "You are jealous. Seeing others making money makes me feel uncomfortable."

How could Tan Xuefen admit it: "What did you say? Renting a house, to put it bluntly, is Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."

Long Xu also shook his head: "I said before that I spent a lot of money to renovate the house, and then opened the shop. Besides, when the snack bar opens, it will not be easy to change the location. After all, all the regular customers come. Once you change the location, Business is definitely not as good as it used to be.”

Tan Xuefen said shamelessly: "Yes! That's why I didn't force him! This is my house, how much the rent is is up to me. If you don't want to, just quit the house, or it will be broken up."

Zhou Fandi said unhappily to Tan Xuefen: "What you said is wrong. I have a cost to open a store to make money. To be honest, I really don't want to turn against you. But you forced me to this point. No one can stand it!"

Hu Pingtao stepped forward and asked Tan Xuefen seriously: "You called the police for this matter?"

Tan Xuefen turned around, pointed at Li Yin who had been standing opposite for a long time, and screamed fiercely: "I want to sue him! He robbed my tenant."

Zhou Fandi was an honest man, and quickly explained to Hu Pingtao: "This matter has nothing to do with Lao Li, really."

He then turned to Qin Xuefen: "The rent you asked for is too high. Let alone seven thousand, I think even five thousand yuan is too much! Such a small house is dirty and dilapidated, how can there be any reason to ask for seven thousand yuan? Isn't it Is it obvious to blackmail people?"

Anyway, she has already torn her face, Tan Xuefen is not afraid of offending anyone at the moment.She glared at Zhou Fandi: "Speak clearly, why did I blackmail you?"

Although he was very unhappy, Zhou Fandi said patiently: "I can understand that you want to increase the rent. But the price of seven thousand a month is too outrageous. I can change the place at will and rent it on the main road outside." We're at the shop fronting the street."

"Look clearly, my place is also a shop." Tan Xuefen said with a sneer, "Since you said you want to rent a big shop, then go! Why are you telling me these things?"

Zhou Fandi was so choked by her that he almost couldn't come up: "You...you, I open a shop here, and all the customers who come here are repeat customers. What should I do if I really move away?"

Qin Xuefen said sarcastically: "Isn't your business good because my house has good Fengshui and a good location. You can try another place? That's why I asked you for a rent of 7000 yuan."

Zhou Fandi shook his head: "So I can't talk to you. People like you only have money in their eyes."

Tan Xuefen snorted coldly: "Who doesn't have money in their eyes these days? If you don't have money, go outside and try it out, even the dogs will ignore you."

Zhou Fangdi said to Hu Pingtao: "She wants to increase the rent, saying that this is not negotiable. Anyway, the lease period is only half a year, and she calls every day to remind her, saying that if I don't agree, she will rent it to someone else when it expires." .”

"To be honest, I was very embarrassed at the time."

"My wife and I are getting old, and our sons and daughters are not around. Although this area is a village in the city, the neighbors are all good people. If I really want to move out, I am very reluctant. Many customers only recognize the place but not the people. The TV station I also came to interview for the food column, and many people came here because of the reputation. Once you change places and start over, the business will definitely not be as good as before."

Huang Ping also sighed at the side: "We really don't want to make a fuss! It's too difficult to do catering."

As she said that, she glared at Tan Xuefen: "What's even more exasperating is that she called later to urge the rent payment, and hypocritically said: If we don't have cash in hand, we can use the house to buy shares and work together with us."

"What?" Hu Pingtao didn't hear clearly: "Partnership?"

Zhou Fandi explained: "She said that using this house as a shareholding will count as 50.00%, and she will be given half of the profit every month."

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers were in an uproar again.

"I didn't see it! Tan Xuefen has a good brain!"

"It's obvious to drive away Lao Zhou, but in fact, he intends to swallow up his shop. This scheming... tsk tsk tsk, amazing!"

"Hehe, how many years have you been in the same village? When did you see Tan Xuefen suffer?"

"Let me tell you, why did she ask people to raise the rent half a year in advance? It turns out that this is the root cause! The rent increase is just an excuse. The real purpose is to want the shares in Lao Zhou's store."

There were all kinds of ridicule... Tan Xuefen kept a straight face and said nothing, and she didn't know what was going on in her heart.

Zhou Fandi sighed: "I work hard every day, it is really too difficult."

As he said that, he pointed sideways at Li Yin who was standing next to him: "When I answered the phone that day, I was really suffocated and didn't care about doing business. I closed the door after five o'clock in the afternoon and walked outside with my wife. Let's go, let's relax."

"Old Li's house is diagonally opposite, and the distance between the front and back is only a dozen meters. We usually see each other without looking up, and we are very familiar with each other. We just walked to the intersection, and Lao Li just came back from the outside. Strange, it happens to be dinner time now, why are you free at this time?"

"As soon as I told Lao Li about the situation, he laughed and asked if I would like to rent his house?"

"I didn't realize it at the time, because although Lao Li's house was also next to the alley, the door opened to the inside, which was not the right way. Lao Li said it was no problem, as long as the outer wall was opened. When I heard that there was a door, Just ask him how much the rent is for a month."

"Lao Li is very honest. He heard me say that Tan Xuefen asked for seven thousand a month, and shook his head, saying that his house over there is bigger than this one, and he only charged me one thousand five thousand."

Qin Xuefen listened to it, and screamed at Hu Pingtao furiously: "Listen, you heard it! He robbed my tenant and only asked him for fifteen thousand!"

Li Yin said unhurriedly: "The rent in this area is already low. Lao Zhou has opened the shop for many years, and I asked him for 20, which is a bit high. At that time, I told Lao Zhou that the annual rent would definitely be higher. I want an increase, but I don’t want much, an annual increase of [-]%. This must be included in the contract. If you want, I can sign a long-term contract with you, ten or twenty years.”

Zhou Fandi nodded repeatedly at the side: "I'm definitely willing! Basically, I just want to change the location without changing the location. When the rent expires here in half a year, I will move there immediately and make a bigger signboard. Guests can see it when they see it." How nice to find it."

Hu Pingtao felt funny when he heard this, he turned to Tan Xuefen and asked, "Why, do you regret it now?"
