5 Tips to tenants

Page of magazines and newspapers are full of information about how to find and safely remove the apartment. However, not everyone knows that after the signing of the agreement the tenant can expect some nasty surprises. Penny Lane Realty experts decided to tell you how to avoid potential problems with the owners already after housing found and the parties are ready to sign a contract. 1. Carefully inspect the property right. It happens that apartment rents you an owner, then there is another owner, and has its own law on the income from renting an apartment or in part. This can happen if the property was acquired, such as marriage and framed by a spouse. After the divorce, this object has been divided into two equal shares, but the one who gave you the apartment initially chose to conceal this fact. "To avoid falling into such situations, it is necessary to make a request in EGRP and see who really owns the object that you intend to shoot," - said Giorgi Dzagurov, CEO of Penny Lane Realty. Another case - in the certificate of ownership is a burden, such as mortgages. The tenant at the same time there is no guarantee that owners will faithfully and on time to fulfill their obligations to the bank. And if homeowners can not pay the mortgage, then you face eviction. Penny Lane Realty Specialists advise not to consider such objects. If you enjoyed this very apartment, you should carefully prescribe penalties for the hosts. 2. Pay attention to the conditions of early termination. The contract of employment must be prescribed by the conditions of early termination. Otherwise, the tenant may be in a very unpleasant situation. It may happen that the owner, for whatever reason decides to terminate the contract and the employer have to spend time, effort and money to find a new home. Or the tenant decides to move house before my time. Note that in each case has its own individual rules for early termination of the contract. For example, tenants in "Don planted" and Park Place, managed by the company Hines, should be warned about the Congress within 3 months. The standard version is only valid for one month. "In any case, if you decide to leave rented accommodation before the expiration of the contract, you must notify the owner - advises George Dzagurov. - When a good relationship with the landlord and its availability, you can send him a termination notice (in duplicate) in person. The owner, in turn, must sign and return one copy to the client. If the owner is abroad, you should inform him in writing by mail. Do it better by registered letter with advice - so you can be sure that information reached the lessor. " 3. Ask in advance the possibility of returning the security deposit. The insurance deposit - a guarantee for the preservation of the property, he takes a one-time, at the conclusion of the lease an apartment together with payment of the first month of their stay and returned to the lessee at termination of the contract of renting an apartment, after checking phone bills and property. If there is no outstanding bills, and property in order, the security deposit is returned to the employer in full. If there is debt on the phone peregovoroam or failure of the property, the amount of security deposit deducted the amount of damage. "In practice it happens that the owners may take into account the deposit as a payment for the last month of their stay, but it must negotiate separately - says George Dzagurov. - And the amount of collateral, and obligations of the parties on its payment should be stated in the contract of employment. " 4. Find out the questions on the Buy-furniture and household appliances. Sometimes the owners rent unfurnished apartment, because some tenants may have their own furnishings and equipment, albeit in limited quantities. Or accommodation is being heralded in accordance with the wishes of tenants. In any case, to explain the issue of buying furniture should be to sign the contract. But the contract must clearly state that the owner buys that - the tenant. If you buy all the employer must indicate whether the amount spent is deducted from the rental rates or whether it takes the furniture and equipment after termination of the contract. Otherwise, the owner can not fulfill their promises to purchase things or not do them in full. 5. Defend your rights in cases of deterioration and damage to property. Typically, the responsibility for damage to property (other than normal wear and tear) lies on the tenant. However, this is not always justified, since breakage can also occur due to faulty equipment, lack of certain parts or repairs performed by unskilled workers. For example, in practice, the agency had a case: a rented apartment renter tightly closed vent boiler, so that the neighbors were flooded from the bottom. First, the owner wanted to charge the tenant the full cost of repair. However, the tenant failed to prove that the leak occurred due to lack of a water heater parts, provided by the manufacturer. "Before you give money because of the failure of any equipment, you need to figure out whose fault it occurred, - concludes George Dzagurov. - If necessary, conduct an independent examination ".
