In this video I take you on my apartment tour in Beijing! First, I show you the area Sanlitun (the nightlife center of Beijing) where my flat is located. Then I show you the building and what is included in the price of the rent.

The renting “scheme” in china and how I got scammed! This place can be rented per day or per month. But in 99% of cases with ordinary flats in china, you have to rent for a year. so, how does it work? You pay one-month or two-month deposit and one-month rent. In case you leave your house earlier than 1 year, then you lose ALL your deposit.
So what happened to me was that I was looking for a temporary place, I told the real estate agent that I was gonna rent a place only for four months. He said no problem! Being a naive idiot like I was, I paid 28k of deposit and 1 month of rent. 2-3 months later I contact the landlord and say in advance that I am gonna leave soon, and he was surprised. He didn’t know I was gonna leave. To cut the long story short, I didn’t receive my money back. I almost wanted to sue the guy but the problem was there was no company address.
The second time happened through the popular app “Ziroom”.
Basically what happened was they couldn’t return my deposit worth 14k, because why? they didn’t handle foreigners before, they did not know how to proceed.
On top of that, they had a very high employee turnover, every time I would contact them, there was always a different employee who had to handle my case.
