in june 2022, ms. zhu spent nearly 10 million yuan to buy a 130-square-meter "model house" in jinding capital, pudong new district, shanghai, and then paid an additional 1.17 million yuan for soft decoration, thinking that she could "move in with her luggage" when the house was delivered. unexpectedly, jinding capital "played a joke" on her when it was delivered. a "soft decoration delivery list" provided by ms. zhu showed that her family had a total of 14 sets of furniture, including 3 beds, 2 sofas, 1 dining table, and multiple bedside tables, tv cabinets, chairs, etc. "all the furniture has no brand, quality certificate, or warranty." ms. zhu said that these furniture are very simple at first glance, and the invoices, instructions, product certificates, etc. of individual pieces of furniture are nowhere to be found.
using the image recognition function of the relevant e-commerce platform, ms. zhu took photos of the furniture in her home and searched for the same products. the results surprised her: the most expensive chest of drawers was worth about 4,878 yuan, the sofa was worth about 3,280 yuan, the remaining beds and cabinets were worth one or two thousand yuan, and the bedside tables and coffee tables were worth a few hundred yuan. ms. zhu calculated that all the furniture in her home was only more than 20,000 yuan. like ms. zhu, several other owners who bought "model houses" also encountered similar situations. they hope that the developer can provide a purchase list for each piece of furniture and refund the difference.
so, are the "three-no" furniture provided by jinding capital suspected of fraud? how should consumers protect their rights? in this regard, zhoudao bangban reporter interviewed sun lei, a lawyer from shanghai chuangtong law firm. in response to the situation encountered by ms. zhu and several other owners, sun lei believes that to determine whether the developer is suspected of fraud, it is necessary to judge based on the specific circumstances. if there are specific promises in the contract, or there are fabricated facts and concealment of the truth about the "model house", then the developer may be suspected of fraud. however, if there are no more detailed promises in the contract, such as agreements on furniture brands, unit prices, etc., then it is difficult to constitute fraud.
