How to make a rental agreement and not get on the money? Useful instructions

You can do three things endlessly: look at the fire, admire the waves and swear with the owner of a rented apartment. Of course, there are plenty of adequate people among them who are used to solving all issues in a civilized way. But there are also enough tyrants. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to calculate such in advance.

In order to protect yourself from the hassle, you need to stock up on a trump card that will cover most of the unfounded claims. This is called a trump card — a competently drawn up housing rental agreement (we believe it is unnecessary to talk about the benefits of concluding a contract as such). It is clear that the scale of insanity has no boundaries, and it is impossible to foresee everything in advance, but even a basic set of agreements will be capable of much.

By appointment

The most common source of headache for residents is constant inspections. In general, there is nothing criminal in the fact that the owner wants to make sure of the welfare of his apartment. However, if such visits occur several times a month, and even without warning, it starts to get on your nerves. Who would like that a stranger actually comes into the house and makes comments about unwashed dishes. Therefore, the contract must include a clause stating that the landlord has the right to come to the apartment only after prior notification or on certain days.

Lack of pricing freedom

At least an equally important factor is the presence in the document of clear rules for increasing rent. Inflation is an inescapable thing, and no one will rent an apartment at the same price for years. Although this does not mean that the owner is free to put up a new price tag whenever he pleases. Far-sighted people demand to prescribe in the contract a period during which the monthly fee cannot be increased. And the most far-sighted arrange everything so that the cost increases in proportion to the rate of inflation.

Who will be responsible for the leak?

All things tend to wear out, especially if they are no longer young. Who should bear the costs, for example, for replacing a leaky faucet, it would also be nice to specify in the contract. And in the event that the tenant agrees to accept this burden, then, in theory, this should be reflected in the amount of rent.

We, the undersigned

History knows countless cases when the peace of the new settlers was disturbed by the sudden appearance of another co-owner of the apartment. Who, as it turns out, is categorically against renting, does not receive money for it and generally came to live here. And he will not be able to object to anything, because according to the law, the lease agreement must be signed with all owners, as well as persons registered on this living space. Accordingly, not making sure that all these comrades are present when making a transaction means putting yourself at serious risk.

Adverse weather conditions

Finding a new home is a tedious and slow process. And especially unpleasant in the case when this task falls like snow on your head. Sudden precipitation will not happen if you add to the contract a clause about the need for a written warning about the owner's desire to terminate the agreement or unwillingness to extend it at least two months before the expiration of the lease.

They will help you

These are just the most basic points. Naturally, it would not be superfluous to supplement the contract with others, and the ones described by us need painstaking elaboration. It will be difficult for a person far from jurisprudence to cope with this task. So it's better to seek professional help. Checks of contracts for identification of problematic and unfavorable conditions are carried out by the online service "Convenient Law". Upload the draft contract to the website, pay for the service (again via the Internet) and soon receive a detailed list of recommendations for finalizing the document by email. It's much easier than convincing the landlord that you shouldn't come to visit every weekend, right?
