Straight answers about Lease Red Flags Foreign Renters Miss — longer than a tip card, shorter than a manifesto.
Is this urgent in the first month?
If it touches housing, money, legal status, commute, or sleep — yes. If it's optimization, wait until you've slept properly and lived one ordinary week.
What's a decent first move?
Your visa category is not a vibe.
Practically, that looks like setting 90-day reminders near a folder of scans, then adjusting once you have scars instead of theories.
What do newcomers get wrong?
Mostly address updates 'later forever'. Also: treating Chengdu like a scavenger hunt instead of a place with laundry.
How do I know it's working?
You stop re-researching it every Sunday night. The decision becomes boring. Boring is healthy.
Tourists can afford chaos. Residents need defaults — one primary option, one backup, and a note with the Chinese name.
Revisit the decision after thirty ordinary days, not after one viral tip.
What I'd ignore
Advice that assumes unlimited energy. Rankings that ignore your district. Anything that requires you to redo chengdu lease contract red flags twice because you rushed.
Write your decision down with a date. Future-you will need it when WeChat search fails.
