Are you going to fake the contract and really lower the price? The "I Love My Home" rental and hosting model has been questioned by citizens because it is too complex and the contract was signed at a high price first.
"It's originally a trusteeship contract. Whether you make or lose money has nothing to do with me. Since you won't give me more money if you make money, why should the owner bear the loss?"
Netizen Xiao Lei complained on the social platform that he had managed a property under his name through the "I Love My Home" platform. The first month of the new asset management year had just passed, and he should have received rental income on the 1st of the following month. But what awaited was a call from the housekeeper to terminate the contract and a text message notification of termination from "I Love My Family". The two parties agreed that there will be a 30-day "asset management income-free period" in each asset management year, that is, "I Love My Home" does not need to pay the first month's custody rent. Canceling the contract just after the income-free period means that Xiaolei will not receive anything from the rental for this month.
what to do? "I Love My Family" also provides a second option, that is, Xiao Lei must step back and accept the price reduction...
Citizen Mr. Li also encountered a similar situation. He has a vacant house under his name, and he has been thinking of renting it out to earn some money to support his daily life. By chance, he learned that "I Love My Home" provided hosting services. After communicating with the staff of a store in Xuhui District, Mr. Li was very satisfied with the monthly rent offer of more than 5,000 yuan.

In early October this year, Mr. Li signed a custody contract with the other party. Unexpectedly, not long after, the staff of I Love My Home called me, hoping that Mr. Li could reduce the custody fee charged. Mr. Li flatly refused this request.
Soon, Mr. Li received another text message saying, "Because the price is too much higher than the market price, our company has decided to terminate the contract with you in advance... Please go through the handover procedures as soon as possible and collect the house keys." The contract just signed is less than a month old. How can the market price fluctuate?
Mr. Li went to the "I Love My Home" store to negotiate as required by the text message. Unexpectedly, unlike the text message that said "requiring the owner to hand over as soon as possible", the staff changed his words and said "the contract will be terminated after one month." Mr. Li asked the other party to pay liquidated damages in accordance with the contract, but the staff also said, "Let's not talk about compensation first."
After repeated negotiations, a person in charge at the scene changed the topic: "Is there a possibility that we will not terminate the contract?" Mr. Li was confused and asked why the SMS notification of termination of the contract was sent again? "I really wanted to help you rent a higher rent, but now the market is really difficult." After some debate, the staff finally confessed the actual purpose of sending the "cancellation of contract" message. They still hope to continue renting, but they want Mr. Li to offer a "discount" of price reduction. a little". The implication is that Mr. Li lowers the price a bit to continue the contract, which saves both parties trouble.

Mr. Li disagreed and said that he would insist on cooperating with the decision of "I love my family" text message and complete the termination of the contract. The two sides were in a stalemate, and finally, after mediation by the relevant departments, the staff of "I Love My Family" finally expressed their willingness to terminate the contract early in accordance with the contract and pay liquidated damages.
Recently, the reporter also contacted the sales staff of a store in Jing'an District, Shanghai, as a landlord. According to him, what the housing management model establishes is actually a "cooperative" relationship between the landlord and the intermediary company. In this relationship, the intermediary company sets a 45-day "rent-free period" for the landlord. During this period, the landlord will not receive any income regardless of whether the house is successfully rented. However, after that, even if the rental situation of the house changes, the landlord will pay monthly rent. You can also get stable rent income; at the same time, by paying the intermediary company a "package service fee" of 980 yuan per year, the intermediary company can be responsible for subsequent maintenance and repairs of the house.
According to the process, after the landlord confirms the hosting intention, "I Love My Home" will specially dispatch "housekeepers" to evaluate the property and determine the final monthly rent quotation based on the house decoration, facilities, etc. “Our contract period is usually one or two years, and the rent is clearly stated in the contract, and the agreed price will not be changed during the contract period.” The salesperson promised the reporter, “Only after the contract expires, will The price may be adjusted according to the market price, either up or down.”

However, what surprised the reporter was that as the communication deepened, there was a lot more "room" in the above-mentioned commitments. "If we find that the initially set price cannot be rented out and is too different from the market price, we may communicate with the landlord to reduce the rent during the contract period." The salesperson said frankly.
Regarding this explanation, many customers like Xiao Lei and Mr. Li who encountered "price reduction" did not buy it: the two parties signed a contract, and the intermediary company's so-called "having to negotiate for a price reduction" was essentially a violation of the contract. “What’s the point of choosing the hosting model when the landlord’s income cannot be guaranteed at all?” Xiao Lei questioned.
Landlords also suggested that "I Love My Home" should complete door-to-door home inspections, rent assessments and other aspects in more detail, and strictly implement the contract, and not let the "custody" model become a "routine".
