Q: Renting out an apartment in Shanghai - Can anyone recommend a good online platform?

Looking to rent out an apartment in Shanghai (local house agencies remind me of the movie Jaws) - Can anyone recommend a good platform/online place to make a listing?

Have made a quick online search but dozens of sites came up and who knows if anyown actually looks at those.

Thanks for your input!

haha, a fine description, Jaws. I use Centaline, a HK based property agent with branches all over prc. Interview the tenants obviously. The best tenants, in my experience, come from MNCs (multinational corp) which pay you directly, the tenant being their senior expat staff, technical or management. Punctual rental payment. Not a single scratch to my brandnew deco and that includes the wooden floor even after years of renting. Avoid the locals if at all possible. http://listings.findthecompany.com/l/55807985/Shanghai-Centaline-Property-Agency-Co-Ltd

A:I had a similar experience in HK.

I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski. ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
