How to avoid problems when renting housing
The specialists of the “Legal Advisor for IDPs” remind you that before concluding a rental agreement, you should carefully check the documents for housing, especially if the offer seems suspiciously cheap. Landlords may hide important details that may cause problems later.
Common risks:
• Housing is rented out without the owner's consent;
• Presence of a mortgage or seizure on the property;
• Incorrectly executed property documents.
Documents to check:
• Extract from the Unified Register of Real Estate;
• Certificate of ownership or inheritance;
• Purchase and sale agreement or donation agreement.
