Serena first said that these calmed Ms. West’s emotions, and the landlord really had no right to ask her to move out.
Ms. West was angry because of the rental problem, but she was even more angry when she heard the trainee lawyer say that the landlord was also a victim. Fortunately, this Serena is professional enough to tell the evidence realistically.
Serena continued after seeing her relax a little
“I have received many similar cases after the leasing platform exploded the money and escaped. There are two general solutions. One is to go through legal procedures and resist with the landlord; the other is to negotiate with the landlord and take a step back.”
She doesn’t say which of the two methods is more appropriate, and doesn’t give an answer. She only analyzes the situation and lets the client consider it first. This is a negotiation technique. If you advocate your point of view from the beginning, the client will not agree to find out various questions to refute you, and you will not be able to understand the client’s real needs.
Ms. West said, “It’s impossible for me to move out. I paid a year’s rent, and my children went to school next to me. I finally transferred schools. I don’t want to move frequently and affect my children’s studies.”
“Well, if you go through legal procedures to defend your rights, you have a better chance of winning. After all, the landlord entrusts the platform to help with the lease. The landlord has a contractual relationship with you, and she has no right to drive you away. But in this way, some landlords will do some extreme behaviors, such as cutting off water and electricity for you, or knowing that your family has children who go to school,

deliberately beating gongs and drums at the door to affect the children’s learning.”
Serena is not alarmist, but contacted Ms. West’s landlord, who made it clear that many of her friends did this. Most tenants are overwhelmed, and it is useless to call the police. In the end, they can only admit that they are unlucky and move away,
This is a very real problem.
“Is there no royal law? I paid a year’s rent, and I only lived there for half a year. Did I throw away the tens of thousands of yuan left for half a year?”
“The landlord said it can be negotiated, and she can make appropriate concessions to the rent for the next six months.”
Ms. West doesn’t want to negotiate. If she wants to negotiate, she doesn’t have to consult a lawyer. She just thinks that if I pay one year’s rent, I will live for one year.
The landlord’s position is that I only received half a year’s rent from the platform, so naturally you are only allowed to live for half a year.
In the process of communicating with Ms. West, Serena knew that she was loose and continued to say
“If you choose to go through legal procedures to defend your rights, I can start preparing immediately, but you have to be mentally prepared, it will be more time–consuming, labor–intensive or even expensive. If you go through the method of negotiating with the landlord, I can call the landlord now to communicate the specific matters. My personal suggestion is to negotiate a compromise with the landlord.”
“The landlord asked me to make up the rent for the second half of the year.” This was unacceptable to Ms. West.
“I’ll call her, wait a minute.”

Serena took her mobile phone to call outside. In fact, before she came to see Ms. West, she had communicated with the landlord and persuaded the landlord that both parties took a step back and only charged three months‘ rent.
The landlord was torn at the time.
Serena advised, “Her children are only in the second grade, and they will have to live with you for at least 4 years. You drive them away now, and find a tenant in the middle. If you rent out after a month, you will lose a month’s rent. In the next 4 years, you will change the tenant several times in the middle, which is far more than a loss of three months.”
“Also, if the other party goes through legal procedures, you can not pay you a penny. Do you really have time to go to her house every day to make trouble?”
Serena had assisted before and had dealt with many small cases that were similar to trivial matters. Her experience was to cut through the mess quickly. If you can negotiate a solution, it is best not to go to court. The time cost is the most expensive.
The landlord now confirmed on the phone that he agreed to this plan, and Ms. West also reluctantly agreed, because although the rent was paid for three months, he could directly sign a contract with the landlord, and there was no platform to charge the intermediate price difference. The rental price of the platform is actually more economical.
After sending Ms. West away, intern Karen looked at Serena with admiration. In her opinion, how could Serena solve such a difficult thing in a few words?
Serena, “Seize the key point, you can understand it if you help them calculate the account carefully.”
“What’s the key point?”

“Children go to school and have to rent for a long time.”
Intern Karen was enlightened.

After dealing with Ms. West’s case, she opened the door of the work room to ventilate, read the publicity of the Extreme Experience Hall on the Internet, and thought that she must visit it today.
Lawyer Ayesa, the boss, came over with a cup of tea to chat. Lawyer Ayesa is in his 40s. He is very professional, but he has no ambition.
Serena happens to be the opposite. There are two young ancestors in the family who are waiting to be fed. She has to work hard to take over the business, big cases, small cases, as long as she has money, she will take it.
Lawyer Ayesa is very good, he has no career ambition, but he fully supports Serena to move forward, and even said privately that as long as she can hold up, this law firm will let her fully manage, and he is happy to relax.
At this time, she was sitting in front of her work desk with steaming hot tea and drinking slowly.
“Has the rent case been resolved?”
“Solved.”
“This kind of small case, just give them interns to handle it, and give new bees some opportunities. You have to do everything yourself, don’t you be tired.”
“I don’t trust them.”
“Serena, you’re good everywhere, but this needs to be changed. You can’t finish the case. You have contacts and experience now. It’s time to plan your future direction and focus on a certain field.
“Yeah, I know.” She had focused on commercial disputes, but she also

took on these small civil cases. As long as there was an opportunity to make money, she would not miss it.
“Are the two children still adapting to kindergarten?”
“They are very adaptable. They have only been there for a week, and the teachers and children like them very much.”
“Let’s have lunch together. You, Mrs. Aresa, have been on strike for the past two days and won’t bring me a working meal. The restaurants outside… are unpalatable and unclean, and she doesn’t feel sorry for me at all now, alas!” Lawyer Ayesa sighed as she went out with a teacup.
As everyone knew, Lawyer Ayesa loved to keep fit. Occasionally cating takeout or going to a restaurant outside was like eating poison. But if you don’t eat, it’s not good for your stomach to be hungry, so every time Mrs. Aresa goes on strike and doesn’t bring him food, he will look for the cleanest restaurant with the highest rating on the review website.
Every time Serena and Karen get a little light and improve their food.
