Signing a standard form does not replace careful verification. The main disagreements are often in attachments and verbal promises that were not included in the contract.
Sides and property
Check names, owner details, address, apartment number, parking and list of items being transferred. The person signing the contract must have the appropriate authority.
Money and dates
The rental amount, number of checks, dates, deposit, commission and other payments must match the agreed offer. It is better to correct unclear wording before transferring money.
Repair and maintenance
The contract must explain responsibility for minor and major repairs, equipment, air conditioning and emergencies. It is useful to know the contact for requests and the procedure for coordinating work.
Extension and early exit
The notice period, terms of renewal, possible penalties and termination procedures should be clear in advance. The life situation changes, so the exit scenario is no less important than the entry date.
Condition of the apartment
It is better to document photos, a list of furniture, defects and indications in a separate act. It is easier to discuss the return of the deposit when the original condition is fixed by both parties.
