加拿大租屋須知 & 網路詐騙

茱莉安的溫馨提醒：

從開始做顧問以來, 學生或打工客最大的問題就是租屋! 一開始從找房, 到簽訂合約(有的是口頭合約), 到最後跟房東或室友有糾紛, 然後氣急敗壞地找辦法拿回押金, 或是提早搬走, 搞得一肚子氣~

 茱莉安我也遇過惡房東, 所以, 租屋之前, 請不要只貪圖便宜, 很多法規一定要詳細閱讀, 很多房東因為知道學生只待不到一年, 所以不提供”合約”, 只有口頭承諾, 雙方有共識就好! 一開始很多學生覺得有賺到的感覺, 因為不用承諾一定要租多久, 反正房東說先收地一個月和最後一個月的錢, 最後會退一個月, 或是當最後一個月的押金, 聽起來都很棒! 但最後就是因為沒有合約的簽訂, 衍生出很多爭議, 房東找藉口不退最後一個月的押金, 說”在加拿大都是這樣啊……” , 最後租方無法保障自身權益!

但其實只要法律上站得住腳, 雖然英文不好, 是不會影響到自己的權益,  不是請英文比較好的第三者代替你用英文去跟房東”吵”贏~ 一定得走 Landlord and Tenant Court (房東房客調解庭) 去用法律去仲裁, 這是唯一的辦法! 有的房東如果自知理虧, 一聽到要走法律途徑, 就會比較好談了~ 

茱莉安建議, 問題發生, 要理直氣”婉”, 爭取權益, 但也不要忽略別人的權益, 做個守法被尊重的台灣人! 如果真的是自己犯錯, 勇於認錯和賠償, 放在網路上給大家去評理是最不智的方式~

以下是有關租屋的相關須知, 請詳細閱讀, 茱莉安也不是此方面專家, 有任何問題請自行打電話去詢問! 祝大家租房順利! ^^

如遇惡房東要申訴或尋求諮詢, 請撥打311

茱莉安記得在加拿大, 一個房子如果連房東一起住的話, 基本上只能租給最多3組房客, 如果是夫妻兩人那就算1組, 如果房子把客廳廚房隔間成多數房間, 安全堪虞, 可以打電話檢舉!　311 is available 24/7, 365 days per year.

網路租房詐騙

很多學生都在Craigslist, Kijiji, yellowpage等網頁去找房子，如果看到喜歡的覺得不錯，都會寫信去詢問，以下是茱莉安歸類有10個可能是詐騙的徵兆：

  1. 房子照片很漂亮 (很多是downtown地點或預售屋的照片)
  2. 價格低於行情價 (有可能嗎?)
  3. 聯絡方式只提供email ，沒有電話或電話是美國的
  4. 廣告放有一陣子了　(好的房子都是秒殺)
  5. 提到人在美國或異地，所以要短期出租
  6. 對房客篩選表示很謹慎 (文章會蠻長, 編故事)
  7. 要求先付訂金 (提供網路帳號)
  8. 有疑慮的話可以出示房子所有權證明
  9. 沒有委託房仲 (有房仲比較能替代回答和節省時間)
  10. 會不斷來回email釣客人上勾 (好又便宜的房子需要這樣嗎?)

以下是一些詐騙信件範例：

範例一：
