In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of both tenants, it is important to sign a detailed rental contract, which should clarify the terms of rent, payment of water and electricity bills, liability for breach of contract, etc. And in this regard, long-term rental agencies freely show their human side. Ziru not only provides tenants with convenient electronic signing services, but also ensures that tenants do not miss any important information by bolding key clauses in the electronic contract, so as to effectively avoid unintentional breach of contract. This initiative further strengthens tenants' sense of trust and security.

However, it is inevitable that some more careless tenants in life will not read carefully enough when signing the contract, and when they look back, their behavior involves a certain amount in the contract, and they may unconsciously breach the contract.

For example, there is a tenant, Mr. Li, at the end of 2021, he rented a master bedroom in Ziru Share**, and later for personal reasons, he needed to cancel the contract early and move out of Ziru. However, he ignored the contract agreement signed with Ziru and the reminder on the app page that "if you quit the lease early, please apply 15 days in advance", and waited until the day of the lease to apply to Ziru through the app, and as a result, he was deducted liquidated damages and 15 days of rent.

In response to this result, although Mr. Li admitted the liquidated damages, he did not recognize the 15 days of rent deduction he was deducted, so he appealed in advance and let the court deal with the matter. After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, the court finally held that the housing lease contract signed by Mr. Li and Ziru was "an expression of the true intentions of both parties", that is, there was no mandatory provision in the contract that violated laws and regulations, and it was a valid contract.

In addition, in the electronic contract signed by both parties, clauses such as "if the lessee terminates the contract early, it shall notify the lessor 15 days in advance" are marked in black and bold to remind the tenant to pay attention to this clause, and remember to apply 15 days in advance when terminating the lease early. Unfortunately, Mr. Li did not pay attention to this clause out of carelessness, so his claim was rejected by the court, and Mr. Li should bear the consequences of the breach of contract and the rent incurred by failing to inform the platform in advance as agreed.

From this matter, we should sum up our experience, in the process of renting, we should exercise our own rights and regulate our own behavior in accordance with the contract, not only to protect our own rights and interests, but also not to harm the interests of the lessor. In addition, when we sign a contract, we should pay attention to the terms of the contract to avoid unnecessary breach of contract.

Finally, as a leading professional long-term rental agency in the industry, Ziru has a comprehensive service system. Each tenant who signs up will be assigned a housekeeper. If the tenant has any questions about the terms of the contract, they can always contact the housekeeper for consultation.
