Abstract

To increase the operation efficiency of real estate properties.SOLUTION: In a real estate sublease method, a real estate agent uses a real estate management server to lease a real estate from a real estate owner and to sublease the real estate to a real estate user. Real estate owner information, real estate property information, and real estate user information are registered in the real estate management server. The real estate property information includes a rent paid by the real estate agent to the real estate owner (i.e., a lease fee), a rent paid by the real estate user to the real estate agent (i.e., a sublease fee), and a sublease deposit paid by the real estate user to the real estate agent. The sublease fee is an amount of money obtained by subtracting from the lease fee a sublease fee discount determined based on a deposit return expected by asset management of the sublease deposit performed by the real estate agent, and is lower than the lease fee.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for subleasing real estate. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, property owners of commercial buildings, condominiums, apartments, and other properties have been faced with many vacant units and are seeking ways to secure tenants by eliminating security deposits and key money, and offering rent discounts. Meanwhile, tenants are constantly seeking cheaper properties.

[0003] In response to this, systems have been proposed that return a cashback amount to the tenant after the lease ends, calculated by multiplying the difference between the actual rent and the base rent, which is the minimum rent that the property owner can rent to the tenant, by the rental period (Patent Document 1), and a system that allows the rent paid by the tenant to be used as a down payment when signing a contract for construction work such as a new building that the tenant will order in the future (Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 4156005 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6181269 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, real estate owners still have many vacant rooms in their rental properties. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve the operating efficiency of real estate properties. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The inventors have discovered that when a real estate agent leases real estate from a real estate owner and subleases the real estate to a real estate user, if the real estate agent invests the security deposit received from the real estate user and allocates at least a portion of the investment income to the rent that the real estate agent previously received from the real estate user, the rent that the real estate agent actually charges the real estate user can be set lower than the rent that the real estate agent pays to lease the property from the real estate owner, thereby increasing the operating efficiency of the real estate property, and have conceived the present invention.

[0007] That is, the present invention is a real estate subleasing method in which a real estate agent rents real estate from a real estate owner using a real estate management server and subleases the real estate to a real estate user, The real estate management server stores information about real estate owners, real estate properties, and real estate users. The property information of real estate includes the rent paid by the real estate agent to the property owner (hereinafter referred to as the rent), the rent paid by the real estate user to the real estate agent (hereinafter referred to as the sublease fee), and the sublease deposit paid by the real estate user to the real estate agent. Contains, The sublease fee is the amount obtained by deducting the sublease fee discount, which is determined based on the expected income from the sublease deposit when the real estate agent invests the sublease deposit, from the rent, and is therefore cheaper than the rent. Real estate subleasing methods to provide. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the real estate subleasing method of the present invention, the real estate agent subleases the property to the real estate user at a rent lower than the rent that the real estate owner would pay to the real estate agent. Therefore, the real estate user can rent a property with the same real estate property information, such as location, building type, structure, age, size, and layout, at a significantly lower price than before, reducing the real estate user's rent burden and increasing the real estate user's willingness to rent a property. Therefore, the occupancy rate of the real estate property increases.

[0009] On the other hand, real estate agents do not suffer any disadvantages in terms of income and expenditures from implementing the sublease method of the present invention, because they can reduce the rent paid to them by real estate users due to the investment income from the security deposits from real estate users, and real estate agents can also enjoy the benefits of an increased success rate in subleasing real estate properties. In addition, the implementation of the new sublease method itself will attract attention to real estate agents, which will have a positive effect on advertising.

[0010] Thus, by implementing the sublease method of the present invention, in which the sublease fee paid by the real estate user is cheaper than the rent paid by the real estate agent to the real estate owner, all parties, including the real estate owner, real estate user, and real estate agent, can enjoy benefits. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a scheme of a real estate sublease method according to an embodiment. [Figure 2A] FIG. 2A is a functional diagram of a property management server used in one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2B] FIG. 2B is an illustration of the functionality of a property management server for use in different embodiments of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram of a scheme of a real estate subleasing method according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, this real estate subleasing method involves a real estate agent leasing real estate from a real estate owner and subleasing the real estate to a real estate user. Based on a lease agreement with the real estate owner, the real estate agent pays rent to rent the real estate and, if necessary, a security deposit (i.e., a rental security deposit). Furthermore, based on a subleasing agreement between the real estate agent and the real estate user, the real estate user pays a security deposit (i.e., a subleasing security deposit) and rent (i.e., a subleasing fee) to the real estate agent.

[0013] Here, real estate refers to land or part or all of a building, as in the conventional real estate subleasing method. The purpose of a real estate user renting real estate can be for business purposes such as tenants, or for personal residence, etc.

[0014] In this invention, the sublease fee is the rent minus the sublease fee discount, and is characterized by being cheaper than the rent. Therefore, the real estate management server used by the real estate agent registers real estate owner information such as the real estate owner's name, address, and contact information; real estate property information such as the real estate address, building type, structure, age, size, layout, rent, sublease fee, lease security deposit, and sublease security deposit; and real estate user information such as the real estate user's name, address, and contact information. Furthermore, the sublease fee discount can also be registered. The sublease fee is the rent minus the sublease fee discount.

[0015] The real estate management server can be a general computing device such as a personal computer that has storage, computing, and communication functions.

[0016] The sublease fee discount amount is determined based on the security deposit income that the real estate agent can expect by managing the sublease deposit as an asset. As shown in Figure 2A, the sublease fee discount amount set by the real estate agent, taking into consideration the rate of return on investment, etc., may be directly input into the property management server, and the property management server may calculate the sublease fee by deducting the sublease fee discount amount from the rent. Alternatively, the sublease fee discount amount may be calculated in the property management server as follows, and the sublease fee may be calculated by deducting the sublease fee discount amount from the rent. Alternatively, a sublease fee calculated separately in a similar manner may be input into the property management server and registered.

[0017] As a method for calculating the sublease fee discount, for example, if a real estate company manages assets by itself or through an asset management company, the expected rate of return on investment is a% per month, the monthly security deposit income can be calculated by multiplying the difference between the sublease security deposit and the lease security deposit by the rate of return on investment a%, and the sublease fee discount can be calculated by deducting the real estate agent's profit, if necessary, from this security deposit income.

[0018] Alternatively, if the monthly asset management return is a% and the real estate agent's monthly profit from the real estate sublease agreement is set at b%, the monthly security deposit income can be obtained by multiplying the difference between the sublease deposit and the lease deposit by the difference between a% and b%, and the security deposit income calculated in this way can be used as the sublease fee discount amount. In addition, depending on the real estate agent's business type, management strategy, etc., the real estate agent's profit share may be zero.

[0019] Furthermore, although the present invention does not inherently assume that the rate of return on investment will become negative, in reality, it is preferable for real estate agents to take out insurance to compensate for losses in the event that the rate of return on investment turns negative after the real estate sublease contract is concluded.

[0020] When calculating the sublease fee discount amount as described above, it is preferable that the lease security deposit, sublease security deposit, and asset management return rate are registered in the real estate management server as shown in Figure 2B, and the real estate management server calculates the sublease fee discount amount, and then calculates the sublease fee from the difference between the rent and the sublease fee discount amount.

[0021] The investment return rate may be, for example, the average value of the investment performance over the past few months. The investment return rate may be updated as appropriate, for example, when renewing the real estate sublease contract between the real estate agent and the real estate user.

[0022] In addition, in the calculation method of the sublease fee discount amount described above, the security deposit for lease and sublease is also called a security deposit. There are cases where a lease deposit is not required, and in general real estate sublease contracts, the lease deposit is set at 0 to 3 months' rent, and the sublease deposit is often set at 6 to 12 months' sublease fee, but in the real estate sublease method of the present invention, the lease deposit and sublease deposit can be set at the same amounts as those generally used.

[0023] When the sublease agreement between the real estate agent and the real estate user is terminated, the sublease deposit will be used to cover repair costs to restore the property to its original condition, but the remaining amount after deducting the repair costs from the original sublease deposit will be returned to the real estate user.

[0024] The real estate management server registers multiple pieces of property information and real estate owner information for real estate that may be the subject of real estate subleasing, as well as multiple pieces of property information, real estate owner information, and real estate user information for real estate for which real estate subleasing contracts have already been concluded and real estate subleasing methods are being implemented.The registered contents on the real estate management server, including sublease fees calculated by the real estate management server, can be output at any time as needed.

[0025] The above describes a real estate subleasing method using a real estate management server, but the present invention can also be constructed as a real estate subleasing system for implementing the real estate subleasing method, equipped with a similar real estate management server.

Claims

[Claim 1] A real estate sublease system in which a real estate agent uses a real estate management server to rent real estate from a real estate owner and sublease the real estate to a real estate user, The real estate management server can register information on real estate owners, real estate property information, real estate user information, and asset management returns for real estate agents. The property information of the real estate includes the rent (hereinafter also referred to as the rent) paid by the real estate agent to the real estate owner, the rental guarantee deposit, the rent (hereinafter also referred to as the sublease fee) paid by the real estate user to the real estate agent, and the sublease guarantee deposit paid by the real estate user to the real estate agent. Contains, When the lease security deposit, sublease security deposit, rent, and the real estate agent's asset management return rate are input, the real estate management server multiplies the difference between the sublease security deposit and the lease security deposit by the real estate agent's asset management return rate, calculates a sublease fee discount amount based on the product, and subtracts the sublease fee discount amount from the rent to calculate a sublease fee that is cheaper than the rent, The asset management return rate can be updated on the real estate management server.
