Protect Yourself

There were less people on the subway today. Amazing. I think it should be like this everyday. someone was telling me that its impossible to negotiate on one month deposit. I don't believe that. I've never paid more than one month deposit. If your rent is lower than 10000 rmb a month, there really is no reason that you can't negotiate one month deposit.

Why would you want only one month? Well duh, to protect yourself because most landlords are bitches and assholes. If something goes wrong with the place you can just forgo paying next months rent. That way when you move you're really not losing any money. However, if you have two months rent that usually doesn't work because if one month goes by, the landlord will usually notice before the end of the month that the rent isn't paid and confiscate the second months rent. Anyway, I don't understand why people don't think a little bit more to protect themselves. This is china, there are no rules.
