Notes from Beijing

ChinaHomeRent

They answered on WeChat at odd hours, showed three flats inside my real budget, and sat through the signing so I understood the clauses.

ChinaHomeRent

Two weeks, a dog, and a landlord who wanted two months' deposit. They kept calling until someone said yes, then talked the deposit down.

ChinaHomeRent

The lease was in Chinese. They went through it line by line. When the fridge died in week two, a repair person came the same day.

ChinaHomeRent

Police registration and the utility accounts, done before I used more leave. The viewings were stacked into one afternoon.

ChinaHomeRent

We needed a gate, a bit of green, and a sane walk to the metro. They showed the same flats at the hour we would actually be home.

ChinaHomeRent

A quieter floor, and a kitchen I could cook in. They remembered that on every viewing, not only the first call.

The work, in Beijing

A home in Beijing, a Chinese lease you have actually read, and a person on WeChat after the keys are yours.

  1. 01

    The search

    Commute, pets, budget, and how long you are staying. We shortlist homes that fit, and we say so when a place does not.

  2. 02

    Arrival

    Airport, the first nights, the keys. Arranged before you land, so the first day in Beijing is not a scavenger hunt.

  3. 03

    Getting set up

    A SIM in your name, home internet, and WeChat Pay that can actually pay for dinner.

  4. 04

    The lease

    We go through the Chinese contract with you: rent, deposit, what is included, and the clauses worth questioning. You get a written summary before you pay.

  5. 05

    After you move in

    When something breaks, you message us. We call the compound and the repairman.

  6. 06

    Renewal and leaving

    An extension, an early exit, the handover. We stay with it until the keys are back.

Living room of an apartment for rent in Beijing
A home on the Beijing list

The first weeks in Beijing

Five things that stall a move if they are left until the second week. We do them with you.

  1. A phone number

    A local SIM, in your name, before the building group chat starts.

  2. WeChat and Alipay

    Installed, verified, and able to pay for dinner and the utilities.

  3. A bank account

    Which branch will open an account for a new arrival, which papers to bring, and someone beside you at the counter.

  4. Residence registration

    The police-station registration, inside the window Beijing actually enforces.

  5. The medical exam

    For a work visa or residence permit, we book the entry-exit health centre and go with you.

Once the lease has started

The contract is the beginning of living in Beijing, not the end of the job.

Repairs

Write to us on WeChat. We speak to the compound management and the repairman, and we stay on it until the thing is fixed.

Renewing

About two months before the end, we ask whether you are staying. If you are, we negotiate the new term and sit with you when it is signed.

Leaving

We look at the apartment before you move out, agree what needs repair, and stand with you on the handover day.

When you go

Internet, the SIM, the bank account. We close what you ask us to close, and help sell furniture you are not taking.

Living in Beijing

Beijing: The Ancient Capital and Modern Metropolis

Beijing, the capital of China, is a city that embodies the nation’s rich history and its rapid modernization. Known as the cultural and political heart of China, Beijing is home to some of the country's most iconic landmarks.

Historical Background

Beijing has been the capital of China for over 800 years, dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. It is famous for historical sites like the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace. The city played a key role in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Geographical Features

Beijing is located in northern China, bordered by mountains to the north and west. The city experiences a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. Tiananmen Square, one of the world’s largest public squares, is a central landmark.

Economic Development

As China's capital, Beijing has a robust economy driven by finance, technology, and real estate. It is home to many Fortune 500 companies and is a major hub for China's tech giants, such as Baidu and ByteDance.

Culture and Tourism

Beijing’s attractions include the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City, and the historic hutong neighborhoods. The city is also renowned for its culinary specialties, such as Peking duck and traditional Beijing hotpot.

Transportation

Beijing boasts a comprehensive transportation network, including the Beijing Capital International Airport and the Daxing International Airport. Its extensive metro system covers almost every part of the city, making it easy for tourists to explore.

Conclusion

With its rich historical heritage and vibrant modern culture, Beijing offers an unforgettable experience for visitors, showcasing the essence of China’s past and future.

Shopping

Where people near the apartment actually buy food, and where a new kitchen gets stocked. Not the mall on the billboard.

Dinner

Places within a short walk of the homes we show, including the ones that take a foreign card.

A Sunday

What is worth crossing Beijing for, and what is only worth the postcard.

The commute

Which line, which exit, and how long the walk from the station is on a wet morning.

Schools

International schools that sit inside a sensible commute of the homes we are willing to show.

Questions about renting in Beijing

What types of properties are available for rent?

We offer apartments, villas, serviced apartments, and shared accommodations across major Chinese cities, covering a wide range of budgets and layouts for expats.

How does the leasing process work for foreigners?

Our team guides you from shortlisting and viewings to negotiation and lease signing. We explain key clauses in English and help coordinate deposits, inventory checks, and move-in dates.

Do I need temporary residence registration after moving in?

Yes. Foreigners generally must register their address at the local police station (派出所) shortly after moving into a private apartment. Hotels often handle this automatically; apartments usually do not. We can accompany you or coordinate with your landlord.

Can you help with visa, work permit, or residence permit issues?

Yes. We provide guidance and coordination for common immigration paperwork, and can connect you with specialists for work permits, Z visas, and residence permit renewals depending on your case.

Can I get help setting up utilities and internet?

Absolutely. We assist with electricity, water, gas where applicable, broadband installation, and Wi-Fi setup so you can settle in quickly after move-in.

How do I open a Chinese bank account or get a local SIM card?

We help prepare documents, choose foreigner-friendly branches or outlets, and accompany you for bank account opening and real-name SIM registration needed for WeChat, Alipay, and OTP verification.

What if I need to terminate my lease early?

Early termination depends on your contract. We review break clauses, help communicate with the landlord or agent, and support a smoother handover to reduce deposit disputes whenever possible.

Do landlords usually provide furniture and appliances?

Many expat-oriented apartments are furnished or semi-furnished, but inventory varies. We clarify what is included before you sign and can help source extras if needed.

How much agency or service fee should I expect?

Fees depend on the service scope and city. For rentals arranged through ChinaHomeRent, pricing is explained upfront before you proceed so there are no surprises.

Can you help families with school search and neighborhood selection?

Yes. We can shortlist international or bilingual school areas, compare commute options, and align housing search with your preferred campus and lifestyle.

What types of properties are available in Beijing?

Apartments in managed compounds, serviced apartments, and occasionally a villa or a room in a shared flat. We tell you which is which before you view.

How does the leasing process work in Beijing?

You send the brief. We shortlist, view with you, and walk through the Chinese lease before any money moves.

Do you assist with visa and registration for expats in Beijing?

We do the police-station residence registration, and we can walk you through the visa steps. We do not issue visas.

Can I get help with utilities setup in my Beijing apartment?

Electricity, water, gas, and home internet, in the first days after you get the keys. A local SIM as well, in your name where the shop allows it.

What if I need to terminate my Beijing lease early?

We read what your contract already says about leaving early, then talk to the landlord about notice, repairs, and the deposit.
