What advice to expats in Beijing have about housing?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living in Beijing about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Expats in Beijing recommend getting a real estate agent who can help you find and negotiate for a good housing option. Short-term rental is also available and can prove to be a viable option for those who are just starting out. Also, securing a deposit before signing a contract is a good idea. Before moving in, check to ensure that the home is ready, including checking the pipes and electrical wiring. Finally, speaking some Chinese can help you communicate your needs to landlords, estate agents, and any home services you may need," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Beijing, China.
