You've found the right tenant for your home. The first thing you need to do is prepare a lease agreement. Do you know what you should pay attention to while doing this?
First of all, you need to create a written lease agreement. You can do this between yourselves or have it notarized. You need to be very careful when preparing a lease agreement.
You should specify the names, surnames, and addresses of the parties, the date the contract is made, the rent increase rate, the lease term, the rent amount, the payment method and place, the intended use of the property, the fixtures in the house and their specifications (such as the type of doors, the brand of tiles), in short, the condition of the house when it is rented.
In addition, expenses to be paid by the tenant, such as doorman fees and apartment dues, should also be specified.
If a deposit was taken from the tenant, it should also be stated in the contract. The contract should have a revenue stamp affixed and be dated. In fact, if possible, photos of the house in its current condition should be taken when the tenant rents it and included in the lease agreement file. This way, in an unfortunate situation between the tenant and the landlord, the photos and the contract can be presented as evidence by the landlord.
