In recent years, the rental safety of overseas students has been increasingly valued by people. Relevant experts said that international students should pay attention to the following points when renting abroad: 1. Understand the local public security situation. In addition, you should also know the emergency contact telephone number and contact person of the school, the alarm telephone number near the residence, and the telephone number of the Chinese embassy and consulate in the locality. 2. Try to choose a place with a good reputation and safety to live. In most cases, host families are safer than apartments; install theft prevention and alarm facilities in rooms according to the public security situation. 3. If you rent with others, you must make clear rules. Choosing roommates is very important, you need to avoid roommates bringing people with unknown identities back home. Keys should not be handed over to other friends randomly to avoid complex personnel inflow and outflow. 4. Don't just rent cheap houses. Pay attention to the urban area where you live. Some houses are cheap because they are unsafe or in high-crime areas. Many legal intermediaries have good records of hosting overseas students, but there may be cases where students' belongings are stolen by roommates or members of host families. 5. Do not store large amounts of cash at home. Keep windows and doors closed (locked) when alone at home, and confirm that doors and windows are closed (locked) before going to bed. 6. When returning to your residence at night, prepare your keys before reaching your destination so that you can enter the house in the shortest time possible. Always pay attention to whether anyone is following you or hiding in the blind spots near your residence. 7. Pay attention to fire prevention. Know the escape routes, stairs, and exits near your residence in advance and ensure they are unobstructed. Check if there are any broken wires at home, and grease should be prevented from accumulating on frying pans and exhaust ports.
