What should the owner of a rental apartment take over?
- • Register the supplies: The apartment should be delivered in conditions of habitability. If there have already been tenants before, it is likely that the supplies are already discharged. In this case, you only have to change the ownership. If the apartment is newly built, it is the responsibility of the owner to sign up the water, electricity, gas, telephone line, access to the Internet...
- • Pay the IBI: The owner must be responsible for paying the Real Estate tax, although they subsequently affect the cost of the community tenant or, even, the split IBI.
- • Be responsible of the expenses of the community of neighbours, referring to the quota. It should be clarified that in any case the tenant has to pay the cost of the community, because he has no voice or vote in the meetings. In any case, although the receipt is sent to the owner, it could have been specified in the lease agreement that would be the tenant who paid it. Whenever it is written, it is an acceptable option.
- • Pay insurances: Specifically, the tenant must pay insurance for the continent and content, as well as the maintenance of items such as the boiler.
- • Faults, repairs and breakdowns. In principle the owner has the obligation to pay all the repairs of conservation of the house to guarantee its habitability. This includes breakdowns of the washer, the boiler, etc., except if it is a minimum fault (a pilot, a filter...) or if it is shown that it is not a fault caused by the passage of time, but the fault was of the tenant.
- We hope you now you have the information more clear!
