Notes from Shenzhen

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.

Questions about renting in Shenzhen

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 Shenzhen?

We offer a wide range of properties in Shenzhen, including apartments, villas, serviced apartments, and shared accommodations, catering to various budgets and preferences.

How does the leasing process work in Shenzhen?

Our team guides you through every step, from property selection and viewing to contract negotiation and signing. We ensure all terms are clear and protect your interests.

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

Yes, we provide support for temporary residence registration and can guide you through the visa process, coordinating with local authorities as needed.

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

Absolutely! We assist with setting up utilities such as electricity, water, internet, and mobile services to ensure a smooth move-in.

What if I need to terminate my Shenzhen lease early?

We handle lease terminations, coordinating with landlords to manage the process smoothly, including any necessary repairs or compensation discussions.
