Rent an apartment – how to play a Russian roulette

It is not prohibited by law to receive additional income from renting free square meters or separate housing. And at times it is even vital. But before rushing to mentally calculate the planned profit, you should seriously think about the following questions. For how much to take the living space? Who is ready to pay such an amount? Where to get clean, mandatory and highly organized tenants without financial problems? And also not burdened with small children and homemade animals? How to protect yourself and your property from local (conflict with neighbors and police) and global (flood, fire, damage to property) the consequences of the lease? In the article you will find answers to these and other questions, and learn how to hand over real estate with material benefit for yourself.

Price policy of real estate rental

Increased housing demand is observed, as a rule, in August-November. Increased activity in the rental market of residential real estate is accompanied by a game of prices and an increase in the number of employers from among students. The most popular for this category of tenants is the house-class housing. According to real estate agencies, from the New Year to the end of May, demand is gradually decreasing, and in the summer it is practically naught. The rental fee for the apartment is also significantly affected by the increase in utility rates. Of course, the owner of the living space can sit on the Internet himself, look for information on friends and determine the amount of payment monthly for himself for the apartment. But more rationally consult on this issue with a specialist. The real estate agent will give you the most accurate information regarding the rental value of your apartment, and also tell you what factors you can slightly raise the price for the tenant.

The desire to get maximum profit from the empty housing is often divided into the reef of harsh reality – called the “appearance of the room and near the accompanying factors”. Here, the number of rooms and living conditions in the passage room, and the presence and quality of furniture, and the limitation of the interior, the general condition of the house, and the performance of household appliances and so on are taken into account by the number of rooms. For example, a full set of household appliances and kitchen units necessary for life raises a rent of 20%. And the design in the style of “Soviet public interior” with furniture a la 80s automatically plays to lower the price of interest by 25%. Sometimes even additional advantages like a guarded parking lot, close -up metro and hypermarket stations, or affordable Internet are not able to increase the price. So more efficiently take out all the rarity items of furniture to the country, or give out friends-college, and the living space to offer a young family with their furniture at their disposal. You say that you do not have such steam in mind, but there are many applications at real estate agencies. Moreover, in this case, you do not have to run around the city and put up ads or spend money on the call of potential tenants, but only sit and choose which of the dozens of applicants will bring you additional income. It is also worth taking into account that any agency protects its reputation and they will not offer you unreliable or problematic tenants. On the contrary, agents carefully check the data of those who want to rent an apartment. However, they will also check you and you. Thus, the chances of any fraud or fraud of each of the parties become minimal. In this case, the owner of the housing owner is guaranteed to sleep a percentage due to real estate agency.

According to tradition, it turned out that expensive apartments are concentrated in the city center, and the second category of elite housing is located in sleeping areas. If the geography of your real estate leaves much to be desired, then even renovation and improved redevelopment will not save. Another thing is when the real estate agency initially appreciated the advantages and disadvantages of your housing and select customers with requests more or less focused on the capabilities of your premises. So if you calculate in general, how much effort, time and nerves will be spent by the owner of the living space, it really turns out to contact a specialist. And get reliable residents who are ready to observe all the conditions and wishes of the owners, in the shortest time and with minimal costs.
