最近過得太輕鬆,月租公寓居然忘記續約,必須要一週內租到下一個房子。詢問許多房仲,很幸運地,有一個房仲說5月1日有空房。
喜出望外,不只是找到下一個房子,還是在沖繩的房子。3年來每次計劃搬到沖繩都沒成功。沒想到這次臨時找房子,居然可以在沖繩租到房子。
房仲當天就寄給我資格審查的流程和所需的資料。不是第一次和這家仲介租房子,應該不是問題。但是時間緊迫,立刻寄出所有資料。
4月23日:「有收到我的信嗎?」隔天早上忍不住直接問房仲。通常房仲應該要在收到資料後,回覆資料齊不齊全。已經買了5月1日去沖繩的機票,有點擔心來不來得及簽約。
4月24日:「有收到來信,請靜候資格審查。」房仲簡短地回覆。
4月30日:「明天就要前往沖繩了,可是到現在還沒有收到任何消息。可以告訴我明天能不能如期入住嗎?」最後一次寫信詢問。
等了一小時還是沒有任何回覆,只好臨時訂了膠囊旅館,第二天前往沖繩。
5月2日晚上6點:「還有在找房子嗎?」房仲終於回信了。
還有在找房子嗎?
Are You Still Looking For The Apartment?
Long story in short, I forgot to renew my lease and had to find the next apartment in a week. I sent the inquiry to multiple real estate agents. Luckily, one agent told me an apartment would be available on May 1.
I was so glad. Not only the next apartment was found, but also it was in Okinawa. I had been trying to be a resident in Okinawa for 3 years.
The agent sent me the instructions for identification check on the same day. I immediately replied with all the documents.
”Did you receive my email,” I couldn’t help sending such a direct question on the next morning. I did not hear from the agent. Usually the agent would acknowledge that all the required documents were received. I was worried if I could get the lease in time. I had just purchased the airline ticket to Okinawa on May 1.
”Yes, the email was received. Please wait for the identification check,” the agent on April 24.
”I will be arriving in Okinawa, but I haven’t received any replies. Could you please let me know if I can move in the apartment tomorrow?” I wrote on April 30.
I had been patient but no more. I waited an hour. Then, I booked a hostel and flew to Okinawa on the next day.
”Are you still looking for the apartment?” Finally, the agent replied at 6pm on May 2.
