Real estate agents definitely need to ask clear questions about what kind of apartment tenants want to rent. Factors like the environment of the rental, its size, monthly rent, whether there's a nearby market, and the convenience of transportation must all be clarified first.
When Liu Xia first started looking, she thought she could rent an ordinary apartment for around two thousand five hundred a month.
"Ma'am, may I know how much you'd like to spend on rent for an apartment per month?"
"A little over two thousand,"
Liu Xia said.
A little over two thousand?
The agent seemed perplexed upon hearing this, considering the two women had arrived in a Mercedes which made them look wealthy, why would they want to rent such a cheap apartment?
"What's wrong?"
Liu Xia asked curiously.
"Ma'am, let me tell you, there are apartments available for a little over two thousand, but those would require you to share with others."
Share an apartment with others?
