Lawyers specializing in rentals in Girona
Renting out property can be a great way to generate passive income and build equity. However, before you take the leap, it’s important that you’re aware of the responsibilities and risks that come with being a homeowner.
At Actum Advocats, lawyer firm specializing in real estate law in Girona, we want to help you make your experience as lessor be as positive as possible. For this reason, we have prepared this article with 3 things to consider before renting your property in Girona:
1. Define your ideal tenant
The first step to successfully renting your property is defining your ideal tenant. This will help you identify the type of person that best fits your home and your expectations as a landlord.
Consider factors such as:
Employment situation and economic stability: It is important that the tenant has a stable job and can demonstrate that he has sufficient income to pay the rent without difficulty.
Rental history: If possible, ask the tenant for references from their previous landlords. This will give you an idea of what he is like as a tenant and if he lives up to his obligations.
Lifestyle: Consider whether the tenant’s lifestyle is compatible with your property. For example, if you own a family property, you may not want to rent it out to students or groups of friends.
2. Set an appropriate rental price
The price of rent is one of the most important factors influencing a tenant’s decision. It is important that you set a price that is competitive in the market but also allows you to get an adequate return on your investment.
To set an appropriate price, we recommend:
Research the rental price of similar properties in the area. You have to be aware of the latest rental legislative changes. Take into account the characteristics of your property, such as location, size, amenities and condition of housing
Calculate the costs associated with the rental, such as community costs, IBI and insurance.
Catalonia applies from March 16, 2024 the limitation of the rental price in municipalities where the shortage of housing at an affordable price makes it difficult to find a home or even keep the one you already have.
3. Draft a clear and complete rental agreement
The tenancy agreement is an essential document that sets out the rights and obligations of both parties. It is important that the contract is clear, complete and drafted in accordance with current regulations.
The rental agreement must include, among other things:
The identification of the lessor and the tenant.
The description of the property.
The duration of the contract.
The monthly income and the form of payment.
the bond
Expenses borne by each party.
The termination clauses of the contract.
