When you pay rent for the first time, you pay two months' rent, wait for the next month to start paying another month's rent, and then start every month until the end of the rent, according to the contract, you will return the rent and refund the rent deposit for that month.
"Deposit one pays one" is a common payment method in rental transactions, which specifically means that the tenant needs to pay a deposit equivalent to one month's rent (i.e., "deposit one") and the first month's rent (i.e., "pay one") to the landlord when signing the lease contract.
This method is usually used for long-term leases, such as the leasing of real estate such as apartments and houses.
After the two parties reach a lease intention, a formal lease contract is signed. The contract should clearly indicate the key information such as the payment method, amount, and payment time of "charge one pay one".
The tenant pays the landlord a deposit equivalent to one month's rent and the first month's rent at the time of signing the contract, as stipulated in the contract. Payment can usually be made by bank transfer, cash, etc.
After the payment is completed, the tenant should keep the payment voucher, such as bank transfer records, receipts, etc., in case of possible disputes in the future.
According to the Contract Law of the People's Republic of China and other relevant laws and regulations, landlords are required to strictly manage the deposit collected and shall not divert it for other purposes. At the end of the lease or the termination of the contract, the landlord shall return the deposit in a timely manner. During the lease period, if there is a rent adjustment, the parties should clearly agree on the method and extent of the adjustment in the contract. In general, rent adjustments are subject to advance notice to tenants and a grace period is given.
If the lease contract needs to be terminated early due to special reasons, the two parties should communicate and reach an agreement in advance. After the contract is terminated, the landlord shall refund the remaining rent and deposit according to the actual situation. Under the "mortgage one pay one" system, if the tenant fails to pay the rent or deposit as agreed, the landlord has the right to pursue the liability for breach of contract in accordance with the contract. Similarly, if the landlord fails to provide the qualified lease as agreed or violates other terms of the contract, the tenant has the right to hold him liable.
Taking Xiao Ming's rental house as an example, he took a fancy to an apartment with a monthly rent of 3,000 yuan. When signing the lease contract with the landlord, Xiao Ming needs to pay the fee according to the "charge one pay one" method. Specifically, he needs to pay 3,000 yuan as a deposit (deposit one) and an additional 3,000 yuan as the first month's rent (pay one). Therefore, Xiao Ming had to pay a total of 6,000 yuan when signing the contract.
During the tenancy period, Tom is required to pay the monthly rent on time. If he needs to quit the lease early under special circumstances, he should communicate with the landlord in advance and handle the quit in accordance with the contract. Upon vacancy, the landlord shall refund the deposit in full if Tom has not damaged the premises and facilities and has paid all fees on time.
