A post-zero tenant

Original link: https://zhou.ge/2023-04-23.html

Recently, I rented out an old house that had been idle for more than 30 years, but this tenant from another urban area made me a little surprised and worried.

Last year, it was rented to a couple from Sichuan. They made cold spicy salad and set up a stall in a nearby industrial park until January this year. After the lease was withdrawn, it was vacant. The old house that no one lived in soon became overgrown with weeds and desolate for a while. Years later, I posted detailed photos and detailed information of my hometown house in the seafood market to see if anyone came to rent it. Although it is near Huizhou Airport, except for three or four neutral factories and a technical school, there is usually very little traffic nearby.

After it was put up, many people came to inquire about the house almost every day, and the rent was not high, mainly because they wanted to find someone to take care of it. There is also no shortage of intermediaries and boring people, such as whether to sell or not, whether to have a dog or a cat, whether there are neighbors nearby, and so on. There are also cross-provincial and cross-city inquiries about whether long-term rental (from ten years) will renovate the house, and there are many wonderful questions.. In the end, I was too lazy to reply, and set up automatic responses for the most frequently asked questions. , A few waves of people came to see the scene in the previous month, but there was nothing to say.

Drive high and go low, basically no one comes to consult after the heat is over..

Until a few days ago, a Gemini boy who lives in Guangzhou and was born after 2000 came to ask for rent:

I don’t know if you all feel a little unreasonable after reading the above dialogue? Only through the photos and information I posted on the Internet, I took the train alone, and asked me to go back in the middle of the night and use the flashlight to sign the contract? Thinking about it at the time, I felt a little scared… so I went back to have an interview with him around noon the next day.

When we met, the other party was carrying a backpack and dragging a suitcase. He was much taller than me. He was born after 00. He was young. From the conversation with him, he was shy and a little introverted. He didn’t speak much. The voice was very gentle, and during the period, I was a little surprised to ask me if there were any mud-brick houses for rent nearby, and if I could help with water and electricity. I was a little worried, so I asked him why he came to rent a house in a strange and remote place alone? He mentioned a word “recluse” and said that many young people have this kind of lifestyle..Is that so?

I asked him what his plans were for staying here. It’s impossible to lie down like this for three months, right? He said that he would find a job nearby. According to him, the airport is recruiting and forgot what it is for. He also knows that there are several factories nearby where he can go to work. He has worked as a QC at Foxconn before.. Where is it nearby? There are grocery stores and the like, how long does it take to get to the town…

I asked him for a copy of his ID card (from Leizhou, Guangdong). After signing the contract and collecting the rent, he took him to the “vegetable market” in the village to buy some daily necessities and went to the industrial park. He got off the car in the industrial park and went to recruit. The center went to let me go back first. When I said goodbye, I told him in a joking tone not to do anything illegal in my old house. If there is anything wrong, call him..
