If you look at the initial rental cost estimate, you may find that it includes items such as 24-hour support, deodorizing and antibacterial services, pest control, and simple fire extinguishing agents.
There are some items that are necessary, but many people wonder, ``Do I have to sign a contract for this?''
Note: Intermediaries may add information without permission.
Some unscrupulous intermediaries may add costs such as deodorizing, antibacterial, pest control, and indoor sterilization to the estimate without permission.
Just because something is included in the quote doesn't mean it's required. If you have any concerns, be sure to ask, ``Is this fee required or optional?''
There are things that can be removed and things that cannot be removed.
Ancillary services are handled differently depending on the property and management company's policies.
Pay particular attention to items written on the property listing sheet. If an ancillary service is listed as a condition of the property, it often cannot be removed in principle.
On the other hand, deodorizing, pest control, indoor disinfection and similar items added independently by the brokerage company may be optional and removable.
The key is to separate items required by the landlord or management company from optional items added by the brokerage company.
There are some that can be removed as voluntary subscriptions, and others that cannot be removed as mandatory conditions for being designated by a management company. In some cases, it may be difficult to remove conditions if they are written as conditions in recruitment drawings or important matters explanations.
The best way to start is by asking, "Is this required or optional?"
What is 24-hour support?
24-hour support is a service that you can consult when you have problems with keys, water leaks, equipment malfunctions, etc.
It's reassuring to have contact information at night and on holidays, but the actual coverage and conditions for free service vary depending on the service.
When joining, it is a good idea to check how much is free and where the costs start.
Deodorant antibacterial and pest control are easy to check
Deodorizing, antibacterial, pest control, indoor disinfection, etc. may be optional.
However, depending on the property, it may be included as a specified product by the management company. If you think it is unnecessary, please consult us as soon as you receive the estimate.
It can be difficult to make adjustments just before signing a contract.
How to communicate when negotiating
If there is an item you want to remove, it is better to first check the details rather than strongly denying it.
If you say, "Is this item required? If it's optional, I'd like to remove it this time," it will be easier for the person in charge to check.
summary
There are some supplementary services such as 24-hour support that can be removed and some that cannot be removed.
The important thing is to check the details of the estimate as soon as possible. Is it optional or required? What is the content of the service? Is it a one-time fee or does it renew? Please check before signing the contract and proceed if you are satisfied.
