Q.What
things are different from regular apartment agencies
in China?
A.Usually,
you need a large deposit that is equivalent
to 1 month's rent, and the min. lease period that is 6 months or 1 year, and an agent fee equivalent to a month's rent (not refundable of course)
to
rent a room in China.
Along with the first month's rent, you need to
prepare a large amount of money that is equivalent
to 4 month's
rent, that will sum up to thousands of dollars.
And
these
kind
of
apartments
are
not furnished enough, and you will have to pay for utilities
on your own. (usually USD2,000-5,000)
But with Mohotel, you only have to prepare
USD100 deposit and the first month's rent. Rooms are furnished, and utilities are
included in the rent , so you don't have to experience
the hassles of doing the paper works in Beijing.
Additionally, you don't have to look for a guarantor,
or a co-signer, that is usually required in chinese
apartment agencies.

About our apartment,
Bed & Breakfast |
Q.What is the difference
between an apartment / a
bed & breakfast?
A.Bed & Breakfast is
a partially shared accommodation. You will
have your
private bedroom (the door can be locked), but
you will share common areas like kitchen, toilet,
bathroom
and
living
room.
Consider sharing a house or a large apartment
with several
people.
Needless to say, you will
have all facilities on your own in an
apartment.
We have
1-room-studio
type to 2DK
rooms ideal for one to
two people.
Of course, monthly rent for an apartment is higher
than that of a bed & breakfast, the
cheapest. We
have 2 types of accommodation to meet your
budget.
>>back
Q.Are
rooms furnished?
A.Yes,
they are. There's either beds with clean
linens, and simple
furnitures (ex. bookshelf, desk, chair, trash
can, mirror...details differ from room to room)
and even dishes. You can pop in with a suitcase
and start
your Beijing life.

Basic
rules and the merit of our accommodation
system |
Q.What
is included in the rent?
A.Utility
expenses like electricity, water & gas
supply, are included. With apartment that is equipped
with Internet connection, that expense is
included as
well. You
don't have
to go through troublesome procedures to get
these services.
>>back
Q.How
about telephone?
A.Sorry,
phone line expense is not included. Some rooms
have pay phones in common area, or in rooms,
but you will have to pay for a call.
But, we find that most of our tenants choose
a mobile phone to communicate.
>>back
Q.What else
do I have to pay?
A.We
only require USD100 deposit for each person(Bed & breakfast) or each apartment,
and it is fullly refundable.
There is no
need for
you to pay any agent
fee (usually
equivalent to a month's rent ).
>>back
Q.Do I need a guarantor?
A.No.We
may ask your parent's or family's address
if you don't have a permanent address in
your country,
and a name of a person or a group that we
can make a contact in case of emergency,
but we
don't
require a guarantor who can guarantee you
totally.
>>back
Q.What
kind of document do I need to rent a room?
A.We
need your passport with a valid visa (allow
us to make a photocopy of it), along with
the deposit
of USD100, and the first month's rent.
You
need to come over to our office to sign
up a lease agreement and to receive the
key for
your
room. We ask your occupation, name of the
company or the school you belong to (of
course, tourists
are welcome too) and other personal data
like your nationality. But please understand...do
you want
to share a building or a house with people
who can't identify themselves? Mohotel
holds the right to refuse any reservation
of the person who we judge is not suitable
for the house.
>>back
Q.Is it possible
to reserve a room? how about from
abroad?
A.You
can check the availability of a room by this
web site or simply by asking us by phone,
and reserve
a
room by
paying a deposit. You don't have to pay the
first month's rent at this moment. You can
do this also
from abroad , with
a credit card or by bank transfer. Please
contact
us for
further
payment
information. (Rooms or beds cannot be reserved
without a deposit)
By this reservation, you can hold the room
for a week after it becomes vacant....sounds
complicated?
Well, please read ahead.
Say, it's 1st of March and you want to reserve
a room that will be vacant from 1st of April.
Then, we have to ask you to move in by 8th
of April, or,
you may move in later but your rent starts
from 8th.
We
can't keep a room vacant for more than a week.
Another example. There's a room that is vacant
right now, and you drop a deposit. We have
to ask you
to move in within a week, or again, you may
move in later but your rent starts from the
7th day.
Same idea...we can't keep a room vacant for
more than a week.
>>back
Q.What if I
cancel my reservation?
A.We
are sorry to say, but your deposit will
not be refunded in that case. Please understand,
after you make your reservation, we have
to say "no" to other people that
are interested in the room.
>>back
Q.I would
like to take a look at the room. Can I arrange
that?
A.Of
course, we would like you to take a look,
as long as
it is vacant. Please
contact
us to make an arrangement.
You do not have to come over to our office,
we can meet each other at the nearest station.
If
it is not vacant, you can come over to
our
office and check some
photographs of the room.
>>back
Q.Are
travelers or tourists welcome too? Tell me about
your minimum rental term.
A.Our normally minimum
rental term is a month. Travelers and tourists are
welcome too, if they can clear this. For
stays shorter, you can contact us to try make a reversation if the apartment is available.
>>back
Q.I am
going to vacate the room in the middle of a month,
but do I still have to pay for the whole month?
A.No.We

the days you will be staying for the last
month.
Please give us the exact date of moving out to calculate your
final rent. (Except for tenants who would
stay for less than a month.
Our
minimum rental term is one month, so if
you vacate the room in the middle of the
first
month, we
have to ask you for the whole month)
