The more dangerous tenants: 9, fear of the owner

- When I went out of the previous apartment, the landlady crying!
- Do not worry, with me this does not happen. I take the rent in advance.

You know that in Moscow the epidemic of bedbugs? I do not know, until faced with it. At first, my sister had to make a complete renovation of the apartment (more to no avail), and then I - to take an apartment call the exterminator 6 times. But the confidence that is escaped or not. Brought bedbugs, of course, one of the tenants. And it will transport them to the next apartment ...

So why rent is so popular despite the cons? How to build a relationship between the parties, to be happy and tenants and apartment owners? And finally, the tenants are dangerous and that they hide from the owners? Let's investigate.

Why rent is so popular?

This is a quick way to improve:

a) housing conditions,

b) quality of life (proximity to work, reduce the cost of transport).

Also rent gives people the opportunity to freely dispose of their budget, taking a cheap lodging in the tough times and more comfortable - with an increase in income.

According to AHML, from 23 million families in need of better housing conditions, about 8 million potentially ready to consider removable housing.

Currently about 4 million families rent housing at market conditions, of which more than 3 million - physical persons.

What are the types of tenants?

1. Students.
2. Family.
3. Splinter.
4. Girls-girlfriend, boys, friends.
5. Hodgepodge.
6. Hard workers.
7. Sweet couples.
8. In the eternal search for an apartment.

(On a national basis will not share.)

I will focus on the last paragraph. There is a type of tenants who are always searching for. They still are not satisfied. Everywhere. Do not even try - it is useless. And if other types of tenants you can think of, someone who like it, but with these, the last in the list, contact not recommended. Just take the time. Because, even if they will remove your apartment, they are still nothing will hold. To paraphrase a famous anecdote: "If we leave to another landlord, you will be sorry?" - "Why should I feel sorry for another landlord?".

The tenants are dangerous and how to protect the owner of your apartment?

There are cases when the owner of property is becoming a victim of fraud or dishonest tenants. Consider some of them.

apartment flooded

In addition to the security deposit, which is sure to specify in the contract, I recommend purchase insurance in one of the insurance companies. Usually insured property and third party liability (it helps if the tenants will fill not only you, but the neighbors).

Case study. My tenants have filled me, and neighbors. To me, they have paid a certain amount of money, yet I have had insurance: drenched grandmother below the insurance company paid a decent amount of money. The following year, has other tenants again filled the same apartment, but a female tenant so to curry favor with his grandmother, went to it several times, gave candy, drank tea with her - and the neighbor did not complain (although I think that she did not repair the last time and was part of smudges old).

Together with tenants settled bugs / ants / cockroaches

- Today in the kitchen saw two cockroaches. Some of the new residents brought with him. I had to kill them.
- Rigidly! Are you sure that it killed those tenants?

This is terrible. Here are just no words. I'm talking about bedbugs. I personally after the horror will now check the apartment with a friend exterminator. Itself is also possible to study the wall for the presence of blood points, sofas at the back. I think to make in the contract item on the presence of undeclared residents.

Damage to property

Why he a crook? The man knows how to live!
(X / p "Beware vehicle")

The problem of a certain degree of damage to property solves a security deposit, which the lessee pays at the entrance. But it does not always cover the damage inflicted, so I advise you to check the apartment once a month, and make an inventory of property with an act of reception - transmission (especially if you are in an apartment is a quality repair and purchase new expensive furniture). If you do not want to live in an apartment cat and dog, this item is also better to include in the contract.

Case study. Calling My tenant and puts me face the fact that the fridge was broken and they repaired it for 5000 rubles. Although the refrigerator was old, and if I were tenants at first said he was broke, I would have bought a new one for my money and would not repair the old one. Not a month passes, as the tenants are going to move out. No problem, all questions was settled. But when I went to pay with the tenants, they began to demand money for the refrigerator repair.

Here are items such as equipment failure and its repair, too, suggest to prescribe in the contract. Always better to agree about everything on the shore.

We moved out ahead of time and not paid

You live in my heart... my mind... in my head ...
Did you pay for the apartment will be?

Escape tenants often without any warning. Therefore it is always necessary to take a prepayment.

Very often employers cheat owner asking to defer payment on the day, week or month. And then they move out suddenly, and without paying so. Find our fugitives is problematic, even with their hands on their passport details and all sorts of phone numbers.

Therefore, Be calm and do not get fooled by exhortations tenants.

noisy tenants

Good advice: stupid to spend precious time on the self,
night when you can knock on a radiator
and learn all about themselves from their neighbors.

You may not know what an active nightlife are your tenants. Night partying, loud music, cigarette butts from the windows. In my practice I came to call the police.

To insure themselves against potential litigation with tenants and neighbors, the owner of the contract of employment may include an additional item, containing the phrase that the guest must abide by the law "On administrative responsibility for violation of the citizens' peace and quiet at night time". According to this document, it is treated as a nighttime period from 23:00 to 7:00. And then when the complaints of neighbors about the noise the owner has every reason to terminate the contract of employment and to evict violators of peace.

Public Service Debts

Be sure to take the readings of meters at the time of apartments and reflect the values ​​of the contract. I do not recommend the payment of a communal impose on tenants. But if you committed this tenant, then ask them to send paid receipts every month.

In some apartments still have included long-distance telephone service, the so-called Eight. From experience I can say that now the lodgers are not particularly need a landline phone, and you can absolutely easy to give it up, and only "eight" to take an apartment it is necessary to turn off!

The apartment is rented for sublease

Very popular nowadays scheme tenants have handed your apartment tenants and others to capitalize on this. Often, this happens when the owner is unable to constantly monitor the tenants.

To protect yourself from this situation, enclose with the tenants contract of employment, where a separate item, specify a ban on subleasing.

Earliest friends

Do you want to lose a friend - hand over his apartment. You're friends? So, you can delay payment to spoil the furniture (it happened), and the noise can be mercilessly. A contract? The same can be orally discuss! I have been cases where even friends and acquaintances tried at the initial stage of negotiations to significantly reduce rents and very surprised - why not? After all, they're friends!

The crime

I do not know who I was, but I certainly have a lawyer.
(X / p "overboard")

Killing, for example. Sounds unreal? And I had to face when the Chinese handed over the apartment when he was Cherkizon. Was summoned to the prosecutor's office, write a statement, coming from the witnesses in my apartment. This is necessary to write separately, very instructive story. But since I had a contract of employment, it can be said that escaped with slight shock.

---

Properly written contract and security deposit - the only guarantee for the property owner. But the best insurance of all the above - is to look carefully at the potential tenants.

You may just not comfortable communicating with them. Or future tenants start whining about the "money emphatically not" already at the time of negotiations. Do not think that the situation will change then. My advice - look for another tenant.

In general rental to always fraught with some difficulties, but if you carefully examine this issue, the risks can be minimized.
