What advice to expats in Shanghai have about housing?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living in Shanghai about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"When looking for housing in Shanghai, it is important to research the area thoroughly and make sure it is safe and secure. It is also important to consider the cost of living in the area, as well as the availability of public transportation and other amenities. It is also recommended to visit the area in person to get a better feel for the neighborhood. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local laws and regulations regarding renting and leasing, as well as any additional fees or taxes that may be applicable. Finally, it is important to be aware of the cultural differences between China and your home country, as this can affect the way you interact with your landlord and other tenants," remarked another expat in Shanghai, China.
