How to rent a cottage

Many people who live in a big city, with the advent of summer, feel a strong desire to go to rest in a country house or cottage. What to do if you have summer cottages? The solution to this issue will help to rent a cottage. This is quite a profitable way today, and you do not need to constantly take care of the house all year round. How to rent a cottage? To do everything right, you need to take into account all the subtleties and important nuances when signing a lease.

You need to start looking for a cottage that suits you long before the start of the hot summer season, since in the spring they begin to sort out the best options, and closer to summer, real estate options become the minimum choice and cost much more. Having found for yourself the most suitable and convenient option for renting, you do not need to trust the owner of the cottage for a word, it is better to play it safe and conclude a preliminary lease agreement. By concluding this agreement, you will completely protect yourself on issues that arise later, for example, rent and payment terms.

You will also protect yourself that your rented dacha will not be transferred to another person. Closer to the summer, the main lease agreement is drawn up, after the conclusion of the previously drawn up agreement, it becomes completely no longer valid. But if either of you suddenly changes your mind about entering into this main contract, he will be obliged to pay the other party money for the (forfeit) that was stipulated in the preliminary contract.

But if you do not want to conclude a lease, then in this case, no one pays money to anyone. In addition to the special important main contract, another important commercial lease agreement should also be concluded. It must be in writing. Also carefully double-check the entire written contract for authenticity and correctness of its drafting.

And do not forget to describe in writing the points on force majeure situations. Be sure and carefully check all the existing documents of the person who rents the cottage to you. Specify also how many other possible applicants for renting or owning this dacha are. If he is the only owner of it, then there should be no questions, but if there is someone else, then for reinsurance, take from that person a written permission for the lease transaction. In the contract, do not forget to also indicate the full term of the lease. Carefully check the entry in the address of the cottage, the number of its rooms, also utility rooms and the total area.  For reinsurance, you can take a picture or even describe the items of the country interior, furniture, and equipment that will be rented along with the cottage.
