Wanhu,

Some cities have issued a policy to impose tax on those who rent their apartments out. Unfortunately, the householders won't burden the tax because they will raise the rent so that those who rent aparments to live will burden the cost.

It is said that Xian is going to issue the same policy this year. When it comes into effect, I will pay more money to the householder.

For the tenant, every way but lose.

Yes, that's why one of my colleagues insists on buying an apartment though the price is so damn expensive. She said she couldn't stand moving from one apartment to another several times in two years.

I think staying in hotel rather than renting an apartment is an option, if the rental is exorbitantly high as in Beijing. Everything is provided for, bedsheet, air-conditioner, shanpoor and body lotion, etc. No worry of electricity and water bills.

Wanhu,

Staying hotel sounds very nice. But the accommodation fee is more much expensive. An ecnonomical room costs CNY 100 to 150 per day. If you stay for one month, you have to pay CNY 3000-4500. Still can't afford it.

Cherry, per day is not the same as renting for a month. You can always negotiate for a long term "lease". I used to stay in Baiyun for 28 days, and instead of paying RMB120 per day, I paid only RMB80 per day. So I guess paying for RMB9000 per month for a 3-room apartment in Beijing, one can still afford to stay in a hotel somewhere in Xuanwu district at RMB80 x 30 (2400 per month). My friend is paying 3000 per room per month.

Wan,

Except you, the cleaners and other people can enter your room. What if you lose something in the hotel room?

If I think that way, then I won't be staying in a hotel.

Wan, it's true. It usually happens at cheap and small hotels or hostels.

Only during my official visit, then I'd be staying in "good" hotel, but most of the time, in SZ for example only 99 Yuan per night, with twin beds, and internet connection and even am allowed to check out at 3pm, and 5pm on request. Cosy, clean, affordable. So far no untoward incident happens.
