If you own an "unnecessary" apartment that you are going to rent out, be prepared to lose some rights to it. Often, homeowners don't remember or even don't know about it. Let me remind you what happens after you conclude a lease for your apartment.
The doors are open for the tenants, but closed for the owner!
After the direct signing of the contract, you are prohibited from entering your own apartment. You can't even just check if the tenants have destroyed your home. I will note that you can agree in advance with new tenants about visiting the apartment. In this case, the owner cannot enter the dwelling if there are no tenants there. Otherwise, the tenants can bring the owner to justice, both administrative and criminal.
Furniture should be in place
The owner of the apartment owns all the property and furniture that is in it. However, he does not have the right to rearrange, move objects and things in the home. Only if there is no prior consent of the new tenants. But the tenants are allowed to rearrange. The nuance is as follows: by the end of the lease term, everything in the apartment must be in its original places.
You cannot kick out tenants from an apartment without good reason
Often, the lease agreement states that each party can terminate it for no specific reason. The main thing is that the other side knows about this in advance and does not mind. That is, the clause is valid only with mutual consent. If the tenants are against, they have not violated any of the clauses of the agreement, then the owner will be able to fully regain control over the apartment only after the agreed rental period.
Owner's belongings must not be in the rented apartment
After signing the contract, the owner temporarily loses the right to use the living space. He is forbidden to bring personal things to the apartment, to leave them for storage. Again, this is only possible with the consent of the tenants. If you decide to put new appliances or furniture in the apartment, you must first discuss this with the tenants, sign a document with their consent.
Residents are not required to make repairs to the rented apartment
The law states that the owner must carry out major repairs to the dwelling. The tenants have the right to fix minor problems like a leaking faucet, a cracked toilet, etc. If desired, tenants can make cosmetic repairs.
To prevent disputes and litigation, tenants and landlords need to immediately discuss all the nuances and details, and include them in the contract. Thanks to this, both sides will not face unpleasant surprises.
