What's the best way to go about finding a room to rent in the jingan district? I'll be in shanghai for three months and need a place to stay. I'd prefer to live with other expats. Are there places that list rooms for rent by expats (i.e. not real estate agents)? I'm looking to keep the monthly rent below 3400rmb.
and what's the protocol once you find a room. What do I need to sign if I'm not the original leaser/one who signed the contract? How many months of rent typically need to be paid up front?
many thanks.
