在国外要租房子,租金多少是需要考虑的一个重要因素,此外,还要弄清楚水电煤气、取暖物业等各种费用。
1. What’s the rent on that? How much is the deposit?(租金是多少?押金又是多少?)
Rent这个词除了当动词“出租外,也可当名词“租金解释。所以当你想询间对方“租金是
多少时,可以说:“How much is the rent?或是“How much is it per month?(每个月多少钱?)
除了rent之外,租房子之前通常要另外付一笔押金 (security deposit或cleaning deposit),当搬走时若被招租人(leaser)发现有家具被房客 (tenant, lessee)用坏时,就可从这笔 deposit当中扣除。
2. What utilities am I responsible for?(我要负担哪些公共设施费用?)
Utilities 泛指一般的公共设施及水电煤气,一般租房子是不包括 utilities费用的,所以租房子时免不了要先问:“Are utilities included?(有包含水电吗?)在美国,每个地方的规定都不同,例如有些地方水是免费的但电要自己负担,还有些地方法律规定房东冬天一定要供应暖气,但费用是由谁负担则不妨先弄清楚。
此外不一定包含在utilities 的民生必需品则是 cable TV service(有线电视)、phone(电话)和 internet connection service(上网服务)。这些在租房子前也不妨先问清楚:“I also need cable, what number do you think I should call?(我还需要有线电视,我该打电话找谁?)
