Store transfer fee means that the tenant sublets the house with the consent of the landlord during the lease period (unexpired) of the store, and transfers the remaining lease period with the landlord to the next tenant, together with the decoration of the tenant, the original purchased equipment and business items (goods, franchise license fees and other intangible assets). The fee charged by the lessee to the next lessee in excess of the rent payable is the transfer fee.

If the house is not renovated (or the renovation cost is not borne by the tenant), there is no equipment (the equipment originally purchased by the tenant), or there is no business project (meaning that the tenant has not left any business project), there will generally be no transfer fee. However, if new tenants are eager to find a store, they may be willing to pay more than the rent, which is also the store transfer fee.

Door (noodle) store transfer fee or store transfer fee is a one-time fee for transferring the right to use the store (technically, it is delivered in installments). It seems that its intention is to make up for the losses suffered by the last family due to the transfer. Generally, the original tenant collects it from the successor tenant, which is suspected of "the last one illegally acts as the second landlord". There are also landlords who accept it. The level of charges mainly depends on the understanding of the original tenants and subsequent tenants on the profitability of the store itself, as well as the relationship between market supply and demand. In some busy shops, because of the large flow of people, the turnover fee is high, while in some remote shops, because of the small flow of people, the turnover fee is low or even unnecessary.

At present, there is no explicit provision in laws and regulations to intervene in this matter. It is generally understood that this is a problem of "one willing to fight and one willing to suffer" in business activities. It can only be decided by the transferor and the successor themselves: whether to pay the transfer fee or not, and how much to pay it.

The correct way is to invite the store to negotiate with the three parties. There are some skills in negotiation. After the matter is agreed, don't forget to sign a written transfer agreement with the other party and sign a new store lease contract with the owner (also pay attention to inquiring and supervising the store lease license and transfer procedures to be handled by the owner).
