If she wasn't satisfied, not only the employees but possibly even he would be dismissed.
Jiang Ling got straight to the point, "I can't possibly live in all these houses myself. Keep the top-tier duplex and rent out the rest for me."
"You want to rent out all 187 units besides the top-tier one?"
"Yes, all of them."
Manager Liu nodded, "No problem. Actually, even if you hadn't said anything, I was going to suggest you rent them out. Our complex is close to the city center, with convenient transportation and mature amenities. The units in Building A are all newly renovated. It's a waste to leave them vacant. Your apartments are very easy to rent; any unit could fetch seven to eight thousand yuan, and those on better floors could easily exceed ten thousand."
"Then rent them out at market price. The rent is payable one month in advance, with a one-month deposit. Tenants are responsible for their own utilities."
Jiang Ling paused. "It's not easy for people working away from home. Add another clause to the rental agreement: if a tenant needs to move out before the lease term is up, as long as they clean the apartment and do not damage the furniture or appliances, their deposit will not be deducted."
Current rental agreements allowed landlords to withhold the deposit if tenants broke the lease early.
This was a legitimate clause in writing, but in reality, too many tenants went on a rampage, destroying the property out of spite because of this.
Although the landlord was in the right and could sue for damages, it would inevitably lead to endless litigation.
Rather than wasting time and energy on such trivial matters, it was better to compromise, allowing tenants to cherish the property in order to get their full deposit back, thus achieving a win-win situation for both landlord and tenant.
"Alright, no problem!" Manager Liu agreed.
Jiang Ling did a quick calculation.
If each apartment was rented out at the lowest rate of eight thousand yuan.
For 188 units, the monthly rental income would be 1.5 million yuan.
Earning over a million yuan in rent per month passively was incredibly appealing.
Jiang Ling's eyes crinkled as she smiled.
"Manager Liu, I'll trouble you with this. I'll give you an additional five percent commission on the rent as a token of my appreciation!"
Jiang Ling was fully focused on acting and didn't want to waste too much time on trivial matters like renting out properties.
Entrusting everything to the property management was a good option.
Major landlords in urban villages who owned a dozen or tens of properties found collecting rent troublesome, which was why the industry of sub-landlords and tertiary landlords emerged.
"No problem, Miss Jiang, please rest assured, leave everything to me!"
Manager Liu, beaming, nodded repeatedly.
An extra tens of thousands in commission each month was a welcome opportunity for anyone.
Subsequently, Jiang Ling received the Power of Attorney contract faxed by Manager Liu. She signed her name, and the matter was settled.
From now on, she wouldn't have to worry about anything, just wait for the money to be transferred to her.
As for the property management fees for the entire building, she didn't need to pay them separately; they would be directly deducted from the rent.
As the saying goes, one person's joy is another's sorrow.
While Jiang Ling was overjoyed at becoming a landlady, the original heroine of the novel, An Qiuyan, was so furious about losing the role of Tianshan Tonglao that her period was delayed.
She had expected Jiang Ling's life to be miserable after breaking up with Shen Mingjue.
She never imagined that Jiang Ling would not only show no signs of dejection but would also seem as if she had unlocked her full potential, her acting skills skyrocketing.
"Damn Jiang Ling, daring to steal my role?"
"Good! Very good!"
"If you don't let me have a good time, you won't either!"
