1. Documents
- The lease is signed with the owner of the apartment or with someone holding a power of attorney from the owner.
- Ask to see the ownership document and check that the owner’s name matches their passport.
2. Lease terms
- The price, the payment currency and the monthly payment date.
- The rental period and the terms for early termination.
- The deposit amount and how it will be returned.
- Who pays for utilities and internet.
- Whether children or pets are allowed.
3. Condition of the apartment
- Check the water, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, windows and locks.
- Make an inventory of furniture and appliances and photograph the apartment — this helps when the deposit is returned.
4. Meters and bills
- Write down the meter readings on move-in day.
- Check that there are no unpaid utility bills and ask roughly how much they come to each month.
- Get written confirmation for the deposit and any payments.
5. Registration for foreigners
