Prepare your basic information
Before viewing, prepare your move-in date, budget, preferred area, pass type, number of occupants and length of stay. This helps agents shortlist suitable rooms faster.
看房前请准备好入住日期、预算、理想区域、准证类型、入住人数及租期。资料越清楚，经纪越容易帮您筛选合适房源。

Most rentals involve a security deposit, first month rental and sometimes stamp duty. Always confirm what is payable before transferring money.
一般租房会涉及押金、第一个月租金，有时也包括印花税。转账前务必确认款项用途及收款方。
Use virtual viewing if overseas
