When renting, some units are furnished with furniture for immediate occupancy. However, a mainland man recently rented a villa for about 26,000 Hong Kong dollars. After signing the contract, he received a “household goods list” from the owner. The household goods in the house are quite valuable, with a total value of more than one million yuan. 190,000 yuan, if there is any damage, he needs to compensate, so he immediately deterred and asked for a return of the lease.

According to internal media reports, a man surnamed Zeng in Chengdu, Sichuan was looking for a rental property for the company on the 22nd of last month. During this period, he saw a detached villa of about 4,300 square feet with exquisite decoration and a large garden. The monthly rent was only about 22,000 yuan. (RMB. The same below, about HK$26,000), Zeng Nan decided to rent it because the price and environment were suitable.
Zeng Nan signed a one-year lease on behalf of the company with the owner surnamed Qin. From August 1 this year to July 31 next year, he paid 116,000 yuan (about 135,000 Hong Kong dollars) in one lump sum, including 50,000 yuan by Gold and 3 months rent. When the contract was signed, the owner did not provide a handover list of the items attached to the villa. Zeng Nan thought that it would be okay to make up the items afterwards, but he did not expect to cause trouble.
Villa furniture items worth one million yuan
A few days later, the owner handed over a list of more than 10 pages to Zeng Nan, which listed more than 100 household items. He only checked the number of household items and signed it, without paying careful attention to the price. He didn’t go home until the owner received the list. Ask questions about the price of the products. For example, the “tree root tea table” in the pantry on the 1st floor is worth 30,000 yuan, the three leather sofas in the living room on the 2nd floor are 50,000 yuan, a leather nanmu bed in the bedroom on the 2nd floor is 80,000 yuan, and the third floor is worth 80,000 yuan. The solid wood bookcase in the study is 120,000 yuan, and the solid wood bed in the master room is 190,000 yuan.

The owner stated in the contract that the total value of various household items in the house exceeded one million yuan, and compensation was required for damage or loss. The high price of the furniture surprised the boss. Zeng Nan thought the price was too high and had no basis, so he asked the owner to cancel the lease on the 26th of last month.
However, the owner stated that if he chooses to quit the lease, the deposit will be confiscated, and an additional month’s rent will be charged as liquidated damages, totaling 72,000 yuan, which makes Zeng Nan deeply dissatisfied: “We haven’t lived in for a day, and the delivery procedures have not been completed. The landlord’s request is too unreasonable!” In order to avoid disputes over the items in the house in the future, Zeng Nan suggested that the items should be emptied before moving in, but the landlord refused, and the two sides failed to negotiate. Get caught in the saw.
High price of European style solid wood furniture for villas
The owner later revealed in an interview that the villa has always been self-occupied, and recently rented it out because he had to work abroad. In response to the tenant’s claim that the items in the house are expensive and unsubstantiated, he pointed out that the furniture has been purchased for about 2 to 3 years and is of European style, so the market price is relatively high. Solid wood furniture and stone are mainly used, and there are also elevators and gardens.
He pointed out that he has been taking care of it carefully, asking someone to clean it every month, and there is also a special person to manage the garden greening. Each koi in the fish pond is worth thousands of yuan. He said that the price of valuable household items on the handover list is to remind tenants to cherish the house,
“I didn’t ask him to buy it again. If the item is gone, he will have to pay for it if he moves it. If there is a little scratch, whoever comes to you, just pay attention to cherish it in the future.”
Regarding the issue of deposit and liquidated damages, the owner said that it was charged according to the terms specified in the lease agreement. “If there is any objection, legal procedures can be followed.”
Can a lawyer dismantle the lease?
Lawyer Chen Fengfeng, deputy director and senior partner of Sichuan Yingji Law Firm, said that if the tenant proposes to withdraw the lease, if the lease agreement specifies that a certain amount of liquidated damages must be paid, and one of the parties breaches the contract, the penalty should be paid according to the lease agreement. If you think that the liquidated damages are too high, you can request the court or arbitration institution to make adjustments.
Attorney Lin Xiaoming of Sichuan Yishang Law Firm pointed out that according to the tenant, his request to terminate the lease was because the owner did not submit the list of items in the house in time, and he did not know the value of the items in the house when he signed the lease. Due to a major misunderstanding and request to terminate the lease, it is recommended that both parties negotiate and take a step back. If a consensus cannot be reached after negotiation, the dispute can be resolved through judicial channels.
