RENT AN APARTMENT

RENT AN APARTMENT

Request an apartment

The owner or owner of an apartment can ask the people interested in renting to fill out an application for rent and to pay a fee when requesting an apartment. The application includes questions about the tenant's general information , such as income history, employment, credit and criminal records.

When renting an apartment, everyone should be treated the same. Housing discrimination is illegal.

Types of rental contracts

An rental agreement is an agreement between the owner and the tenant . Rental contracts can be made in writing or orally:

Verbal rental contract:

The owner and the tenant make an agreement, but they do not write it. A verbal lease agreement is usually renewed each month until the owner or tenant decides to terminate it. This type of rental agreement can be terminated with prior notice of up to 30 days; Y

Written rental agreement: It is better to have a written rental agreement that establishes the agreement between the owner and the tenant. The rental contract must include the following details:
Amount of rent and how it should be paid
The date of the agreement
How long will the rental agreement last?
How to renew the rental contract
The amount of the security deposit and / or the fee to move
The fee for paying the rent late
How the rental agreement should end
Who is responsible for repairs
When the owner can enter the apartment
The contact information of the owner and
Any other promise made by the owner and the tenant
An income contract must not include terms that:

Say that the owner is not responsible for property damage or injuries to persons caused by the owner

They discriminate against people
They are prohibited by local laws
You can find copies of rent contracts at an office supply store or you can use this copy of a residential contract .

Security deposits and moving fees

An owner can have a tenant pay money before moving into the apartment. The owner can use that money for repairs or unpaid rent after the tenant has moved there. This is called a security deposit.

A security deposit is different than a fee to move. A fee to move is not reimbursed to the tenant and is not used for the cost of repairs or unpaid rent.

Travel

A landlord and tenant must make a tour of the apartment before the scheduled date for the tenant to move into the apartment. The purpose of the tour is to ensure that the owner and tenant agree on the conditions of the department. A tour should help prevent later discussions about who is responsible for apartment conditions.(Снять комнату в Гомель)
