In recent years, the rental safety of overseas students has been paid more and more attention by people. Relevant experts said that foreign students should pay attention to the following points when renting houses abroad: 1. Know about the local security situation. In addition, you should also know the emergency contact telephone number and contact person of the school, the alarm telephone number near your residence, and the telephone number of the Chinese embassy or consulate in the local area. 2. Try to choose a place with good reputation and safety to live in. In most cases, homestay is safer than apartment; according to the public security situation, choose to install anti-theft and alarm facilities in the room. 3. If you rent a house with others, you must make clear rules. It's important to choose the roommate who rents together. You should avoid bringing people with unknown identity home. Do not hand over the key to other friends at will to avoid complex personnel. 4. Don't just be greedy for cheap rent. Pay attention to the urban area where you live. Some houses are cheap because they are unsafe or in high crime rate areas. Many legal intermediaries have good records of hosting overseas students, but it is inevitable that students' property will be stolen by their roommates or taken away by members of their host families. 5. Do not keep 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 the residence at night, you should prepare the keys before arriving at the residence and 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. Learn about escape routes, stairs, and exits near your residence in advance, and make sure they are unobstructed. Check if there are any broken wires at home, and the grease on the wok and the oil fume exhaust port should be prevented.
