Chapter 901: 900. Garage Disagreement (45)
He was very satisfied with the environment he saw at first glance, Li Du nodded, decided to continue watching, and released the little flying insects.
The road is in the south of the small hill, and the villa is in the north of the small hill. If you continue to the north, there is still a mountain with lush green plants. It is not high or big, but it is quite continuous.
This season is the most beautiful season for the hills. Looking around, the green color is dripping, and everywhere you look, there are colorful flowers everywhere.
The villa is a single family, surrounded by a small fence, and the door uses fingerprints to enter the house, which Li Du thinks is very funny. The small fence is only one and a half meters high, and it can be easily climbed if you want to get in. The door at the door depends on fingerprints. What's the use of an open door?
The owner of this villa happened to be staying here today. Hans rang the doorbell and introduced his identity and purpose, and the small door opened.
Inside the fence is a well-cut lawn, a small sports field and a clean outdoor swimming pool. In the middle is the residence, a three-story comfortable building.
The homeowner was waiting at the door. He was a middle-aged white man in his forties. He was very fat, with a big belly and fat on his cheeks. He looked a bit like a bulldog.
He shook hands with Li-Du, and Cole introduced him. The owner of the house was Abel Kling, an executive of a luxury goods company in Phoenix.
After exchanging simple greetings, Li Du put on his shoe covers and entered the building to start his tour.
The house is well preserved, the solid wood floor is coated with a layer of wax, the sun shines in, and the creases are shining.
The furniture and home appliances are complete inside. There is a home theater in the living room. The sofas, tables and chairs are all good products. There is a spacious terrace upstairs.
The area of the villa is more than 300 square meters, with upper, middle and lower floors. There are twelve bedrooms alone. It is no problem to say that this is a small castle. Li Du and others can live there without any pressure.
There was no problem with the house, and there was a garage underneath. Li Du opened the door and saw that the inside was a mess, full of household garbage.
Obviously, the homeowner was not a hardworking person. He cleaned up the house very cleanly, but he didn't throw away the garbage he picked up, but threw them into the garage together.
Looking at the garbage in the garage, Abel smiled dryly: "I have an outdoor parking lot, there's no need to park the car here, it's hard to drive in and out, right?"
After the little flying insect entered the garage, it immediately plunged into a tattered wooden box.
Li Du looked at it and said, "Yes, but our family is big, there are many people and cars, and there are not enough outdoor parking spaces. This garage needs to be used, so it's best to tidy it up."
Abel is not a good-tempered person, and he frowned immediately after hearing what he said.
Apart from the garbage in the garage, there was nothing wrong with the house, and Sophie was satisfied after seeing it.
She was quite looking forward to moving in. Although she was born in the middle class, she had never lived in such a luxurious villa. The Martin couple's house in the university city was a functional villa.
Seeing this, Li Du winked at Hans, then gestured towards the garage and asked, "How much is the rent?"
Cole only gave him the address and contact information, but did not mention the specific rental issues. When Li Du went to visit just now, Hans went to discuss the rent with Abel.
Hans said: "The monthly rent is 20,000 yuan, and you pay six for one deposit. You understand what I mean, right?"
As he spoke, he laughed.
Li Du understood what he meant. He must have recalled the previous experience of renting a house in the crown of the pine tree. At that time, Luo Qun said that one deposit would pay one, but the result was that one year's rent would be paid for one year's rent.
This payment method is very reasonable, Li Du nodded in agreement, and decided to rent the house.
After hearing the conversation between the two, the homeowner shook his head, and asked, "Mr. Fox, it's not you who rented the house? Is this Mr. Li?"
Hans said: "It can be said that it is me, or it can be said that it is him. We are brothers and we will live together in the future. You should understand that your villa has more than a dozen rooms. How can you live here alone?"
The homeowner's expression was a little ugly, and he said, "President Cole didn't tell me before that the person who rented the house was a Chinese with pets, and there were so many people."
Li Du has nothing to say when it comes to bringing pets. Indeed, renting a house with pets is not welcome anywhere.
But this guy actually said the word 'Chinese' first, he was dissatisfied immediately, and said: "What's wrong with us Chinese?"
The homeowner was even more dissatisfied, saying: "I rented the house to one of your compatriots before, but he used it as an office and made my house miserable. I still got rid of him through a lawsuit."
Li Du said: "You have expanded the scope too broadly. Don't blacks, whites and Mexicans have problems when renting houses? If you read the news, they have more problems."
The owner was straightforward, saying: "If you are a black Mexican, I will definitely not rent to you! I have a good impression of Chinese, otherwise I will not let you in!"
When it comes to racial issues, the tone of both parties is very bad, and they are already quarreling.
Seeing this, Hans hurriedly intervened and said, "Calm down, listen to me first."
He looked at the owner: "Abel, you can check the credit records and social records of the two of us, we have no problems. I don't know how long your house has been vacant, but I know that most people don't rent so big and so expensive house, if you miss us, keep it vacant."
Then, he looked at Li Du again: "Brother, this is not racial discrimination. Let's understand Abel better. He must have thought about renting out such an expensive house."
When renting a house in the United States, the landlord can check the renter’s income and past credit records through the bank and tax authorities. Both of these are fine, and tenants are generally fine.
What Hans said was very reasonable. After thinking about it, the homeowner reluctantly said: "Okay, if your credit records are good, then I am willing to rent to you, but the deposit will become a quarterly rent."
This was still discrimination, and Li Du was unwilling.
He looked at Sophie and the others, swallowed his anger, and said, "Okay, we'll give you a quarterly deposit, but you have to clean out the garage."
The landlord was not happy again, he felt that Li Du had a lot to do.
Hans was caught in the middle and said, "Well, buddy, we'll clean it up ourselves, Abel, go and see what needs to be kept in the garage, and we'll clean up the rest of the garbage ourselves."
This remark made the house owner a little more satisfied. He said, "Everything inside can be thrown away. If you want to deal with it, you can deal with it yourself. I won't do it anyway."
The two parties agreed and contacted a lawyer to start signing the contract.
Abel belongs to the wealthy class in the United States and has his own doctor and lawyer, so he did not rent the house through a real estate agency. A private lawyer is much more reliable than an intermediary.
The next day, after investigating the credit records of Li Du, Hans and Sophie and the records at the police station, the lawyer told Abel that there was no problem, and the two parties began to pay money to sign the contract.
