Chapter 3 The whole village was dealt with
The landlady didn't believe that the mayor would come over to settle the expenses for Yang Chen. She said with a straight face: "I'm not in the mood to act with you. Now you can give me a happy message. Should I pay the money and continue to live here, or should I leave immediately?"< br>
Yang Chen talked to her nicely as he was new here and didn't want to offend anyone. It seemed like she wasn't that easy to deal with.
"Sister, I've deposited half a year's rent in your hands. I haven't lived in your house in vain for half a year. I've been renting here for 5 years. I can't wait for such a short time, right? Mayor Wang, really I'll be here soon and I'll definitely pay you the fee," Yang Chen said.
"You should understand the situation clearly. The deposit is the deposit and the rent is the rent. They cannot be confused! Forget it, I won't bother you anymore. I will inspect the house now. Even if you pay the rent today, I won't let you continue renting! "The eldest sister said angrily, and then she took a searchlight, instructions, ruler, marker, etc. from her bag.
Yang Chen was extremely shocked and asked: "What do you mean?"
The eldest sister walked over and directly pulled down the power switch in Yang Chen's room, and then said: "I won't take advantage of you. I don't need your electricity. I'll just use the lamp to illuminate it."
The landlady walked into the house aggressively, holding a searchlight and started looking for damaged areas in the house.
There were footprints and small holes on the walls, the furniture was worn and worn, and the cleaning fee had to be calculated if the appliances were dirty. After what she did, the half-year rent deposited by Yang Chen was not enough to compensate!
"I'm super! Sister, what you did is too much! I don't approve of your behavior!" Yang Chen said angrily.
The landlady said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. The deposit is in my hand and I have the final say. Do you understand?"
Damn it, you still want to do something evil?
"Who can guarantee that there will be no wear and tear at all when renting a house? Can the house you live in be kept as good as before? Besides, the rent already includes reasonable wear and tear. If you rent a house to others, you will accept reasonable wear and tear depreciation by default. Come here now I won't tolerate this!" Yang Chen said angrily.
The landlady still looked confident and said with a smile: "This is the rule here. If you don't accept it, you can call the police or file a lawsuit in court. I will stick with you to the end. Your deposit is not enough to compensate you for the air conditioner and refrigerator you bought. , TVs, etc. cannot be taken away, they must be mortgaged for compensation.”
Yang Chen: "..."
It's so comfortable to be a landlord. You don't have to pay anything, and you can still get the furniture and appliances purchased by the tenants for free.
"Get out of here! I've never seen such a black-hearted landlord like you!" Yang Chen scolded.
The landlady immediately became furious and shouted in a broken voice: "Who are you calling to get out? Who are you calling a black heart? Please explain it clearly to me? Otherwise the day will not end!"
The landlady's family members heard her shouts and ran up quickly.
The landlord's son was 16 years old, and he was at the age where he could act recklessly. He rushed into the kitchen, took out a kitchen knife, and gestured back and forth in front of Yang Chen, and shouted: "Apologise to my mother! I asked you to apologize to my mother! Hurry up. Click!”
Other tenants came over to watch the fun, and tried to smooth things over to persuade both parties to calm down. Both parties should take a step back. The landlord should not care so much, and Yang Chen should not ask for a deposit. He should quickly pack up his personal belongings and leave.
Before the landlady could speak, her son yelled: "No! I have to pay compensation and apologize to my mother, otherwise he will never leave!"
Ma De, I am a person who walked down from the rooftop on the 33rd floor. Would I be afraid of him?
Yang Chen turned around and walked into the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife. The landlord was so frightened that he quickly pulled his son back.
"Why, you are the only one who knows how to hold a knife when riding a horse, can't I? Come on, let everyone else go out, let's close the door and challenge each other, the one who is alive is qualified to go out! If you don't dare, you are not you Father’s biological child!” Yang Chen said with a fierce look.
The chicken-feather thing didn't dare to answer Yang Chen's words, he was just a cocky loser.
"We are civilized and law-abiding people, and we don't want to fight with paupers like you!" said the landlady.
"Coward!" Yang Chen scolded.
At this moment, the whistle from the gate broke the tense atmosphere.
The landlady walked to the window and looked at it, and was immediately frightened by the scene at the gate.
A line of vehicles came to the door, all of which were domestically produced Hongqi sedans. There were three H6s in the front, an H9 in the middle, and three H7s behind them. This formation looked like they were traveling for leaders of the government or public institutions.
The landlady looked at Yang Chen in surprise and thought to herself: "Isn't it really the mayor who is here?"
A group of people got off the Hongqi car. Among them, Wang Wenkang, the deputy mayor who got off the Hongqi H9, was often on TV news. The landlady recognized him at a glance.
The landlady slapped her thigh and said: "Oh, it's broken, it's broken, the mayor is really here! Army, put down your sword quickly! Mayor Wang is here, hurry down to greet him!"
The landlord's family immediately became confused. The landlord's son quickly put the knife back in the kitchen, and the family hurried down to greet Wang Wenkang and his party.
"Oh, Mayor Wang, what kind of wind has brought you here!" The landlady nodded and bowed.
Wang Wenkang said with a smile: "You are the landlord, right?"
The landlady quickly smiled and nodded and replied: "Yes, yes, I am the landlord here. My name is Zhou Chunxia. Mayor Wang is welcome to be a guest. Please come inside, please come inside."
Wang Wenkang glanced at the secretary, and then said with a smile: "I'm here to settle the expenses for your tenant Yang Chen. Xiao Liu, you go and settle with Ms. Zhou." At this time, Yang Chen was lying down with a knife in his hand. He said on the window sill: "Mayor Wang, there is no need to settle the bill. Their family came up with knives." They forced me to accept the house wear and tear fee. Not only did they deduct half of my deposit, but they also used the refrigerator, air conditioner, etc. I bought as compensation. Mayor Wang, I would like to ask if we have a rule here that when renting a house, the house must be kept in its original condition, otherwise it will be necessary. Pay for wear and tear, right?”
Wang Wenkang's face changed drastically, and he quickly replied: "There is no such rule! Of course there will be reasonable wear and tear when renting a house, and the landlord will accept it by default when renting it out. What, Ms. Zhou, do you still charge the tenant for wear and tear? Half a year’s deposit will be deducted at once?”
Zhou Chunxia suddenly panicked and hurriedly explained: "This is how it is done here, and I am not the only one who does it. If Mayor Wang thinks it is unreasonable, you can tell everyone not to accept it. You can't just ask me not to accept it, right? Wrong? ”
"You mean all the landlords here do this?" Wang Wenkang asked.
Zhou Chunxia nodded and replied: "Yes! It's the default rule for everyone, I didn't mean to trick him!"
At this time, the neighbors who were watching the excitement panicked.
"Hey! Zhou Chunxia, don't talk nonsense!"
"That's right! You've spoken before your head!"
"You do this yourself, don't drag others into trouble!"
……
Only then did Zhou Chunxia realize that what she said was tantamount to reporting to the mayor that all the landlords in the village illegally charged wear and tear fees. If this offended all the landlords in the village, their family would not be able to live in the village in the future.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Yang Chen said loudly: "Mayor Wang, the tenants who come here to rent a house are all low-level workers like me. Life is not easy in the first place, and they are being cheated of money by black-hearted landlords. You can't ignore it."
At this time, the surrounding tenants came to join in the fun.
Wang Wenkang went out and asked the tenants. They all said that they had indeed been cheated by the landlord. They only had to compensate for reasonable wear and tear, and in most cases the deposit was not enough to compensate them, and they had to bleed a lot before leaving.
Wang Wenkang was very angry. He immediately said to his secretary: "Xiao Liu, call the Housing Authority and ask Zhou Dakang to come over immediately!"
The secretary nodded and immediately called the housing authority.
Zhou Chunxia was completely panicked, and she might be in big trouble now.
"Mayor Wang, I was wrong, I was wrong. I will return the deposit to him now, and I will not charge the rent, water and electricity bills for the past six months. He can move out immediately. Okay?" Zhou Chunxia Said with a sad face.
Wang Wenkang said with a straight face: "It's not that you just said you won't charge it. You charge wear and tear fees in violation of regulations, and we have to deal with it in accordance with the law! I think your houses were built illegally later, right? Xiao Liu, please give it to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Call the fire department and ask the person in charge to come over.”
Zhou Chunxia's legs suddenly softened and she sat on the ground, and the sky fell.
Illegal charging of wear and tear fees is a trivial matter, but illegal building of buildings is a big problem. Almost every household in the village has illegal building of 2-3 floors.
When they first built the houses, they laid foundations of 2-3 floors. Now they build them to 5-6 floors for rent, and there are no fire hydrants and other equipment. This will definitely fail the inspection and the whole village will be fined. Money, and money to demolish illegal buildings within a time limit, wouldn’t the whole village have to hate Zhou Chunxia and her family?
Yang Chen only took away the necessary items such as his ID card, and didn't want anything else. He carried his bag down, picked up the kitchen knife in his hand, made two gestures at Zhou Chunxia's son, and asked, "Didn't you just take a knife?" Do you want to kill me? Come on, I’ll give you another chance. Let’s fight, the one who wins will live.”
Zhou Chunxia's son lowered his head and did not dare to look at Yang Chen. He was so arrogant just now, and now he is so cowardly.
Wang Wenkang quickly gave the secretary a look, and the secretary understood and stepped forward, took the knife in Yang Chen's hand, put it in his arms and hid it.
Not long after, the heads of the Housing Authority, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Fire Department and other departments arrived.
"I will investigate for five years and punish all landlords who charge wear and tear fees in violation of regulations according to law!" Wang Wenkang ordered.
"Understood! Do it now!" Zhou Dakang said, and then walked aside to call someone.
Upon seeing this, the heads of the other two departments quickly took the initiative to call people to do the work. They would check for illegal stamping and fire protection issues.
Wang Wenkang nodded with satisfaction and said: "The tenants here are all migrant workers. It is already difficult for them. We cannot let them earn some hard money and be cheated by unscrupulous landlords. As public servants of the people, we must The people decide! You handle it, I’m waiting to see the results of your handling!”
The heads of the three departments immediately nodded and assured Wang Wenkang that they would deal with it seriously and would never tolerate it.
Wang Wenkang smiled and said to Yang Chen: "It's too messy here to talk about things. Let's go, I'll take you to Jiangchengwan Villa No. 1 to talk. Let Xiao Liu handle the cost issue, you don't have to worry about it."
< br>
Yang Chen nodded with a smile and followed Wang Wenkang.
Zhou Chunxia suddenly hugged Yang Chen's leg and cried: "Yang Chen, I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong. I will refund you all your rent for the past five years. Please help me beg Mayor Wang. Please beg for mercy and ask him to be noble and not to deal with it like this, otherwise our whole family will not be able to live in the village.”
