Gr. , passport: series, No., issued, residing at: , hereinafter referred to as “ Landlord", on the one hand, and gr. , passport: series, No., issued, residing at: , hereinafter referred to as “ Tenant", on the other hand, hereinafter referred to as the "Parties", have entered into this agreement, hereinafter " Agreement”, about the following:

1. The Lessor leased to the Tenant an apartment owned by him by right of ownership on the basis of a certificate from the housing cooperative (or: a registration certificate issued by the Bureau of Technical Inventory of the District dated ""2019"), located at the address: . Apartment with an area of ​​sq.m., consisting of room(s) with a living area of ​​sq.m.
2. The apartment is rented for a period of years with monthly payment in rubles. The contract amount is rubles. The tenant is obliged to pay rent to account No. or in person no later than the date of each month for the previous month.
3. The apartment is rented to the Tenant for living, and he is prohibited from using the residential premises for another purpose, as well as subletting.
4. The tenant is obliged to keep the apartment clean, the equipment in good condition and to carry out routine repairs at his own expense.
5. Changes in the terms of the contract or its termination may take place by agreement of the parties.
6. The Landlord may demand modification or termination of the contract if the Tenant does not carry out routine repairs, deteriorates the condition of the residential premises, does not pay rent within the period stipulated by the contract, or uses the apartment for other purposes.
7. The costs of notarization of this agreement are paid by the Tenant.
8. The Agreement is drawn up in copies having equal legal force. An integral annex to the contract is a list of furniture and things located in the rented apartment.

By deciding to rent out your apartment to a legal entity or individual, you get many “advantages”: firstly, by renting out an apartment under a rental agreement (and not under an agreement, for example, a lease), you can get more money; secondly, persons renting an apartment under a lease agreement are a priori more solvent than citizens entering into a rental agreement.

We will try to briefly consider how a simple apartment rental agreement is drawn up.

Rules for drawing up a simple apartment rental agreement

1. This agreement must be drawn up in writing. It must be signed by all parties to the transaction.
2. If you are going to rent out an apartment for a period of more than 1 year, then the agreement you have concluded should be registered in the prescribed manner.
3. The contract is usually accompanied by an act of delivery of the object. There it is best to note the existing shortcomings of the object, its non-compliance with established standards (for example, if you see a burnt ceiling, then this should be written about in the contract).

Structure of an apartment rental agreement

1. "Subject of the agreement." Here you should clearly identify the property that you are going to rent out: indicate the exact address of the apartment, provide information about its state registration (here you must indicate the number of the state registration certificate and the date of issue of the document).In addition, it should be established whether the apartment has any encumbrances.For example. The owner's mother lives in the apartment. She is not the owner of the apartment, but is registered in it. She has no other place to live. The woman actively protests against the provision of an apartment for rent. The recorded fact that there is another person permanently residing in the apartment on the territory of the apartment must be reflected in the lease agreement. Also in the “Subject of the contract” paragraph it is worth establishing the characteristics of the apartment and its properties.
2. "Rights and obligations of the parties". It is usually established that the tenant must maintain the property in proper condition, pay certain payments, and make routine repairs. Major repairs are usually undertaken by the landlord.
3. "Payments". The law allows for wide variability in payments. They can be produced monthly, once a quarter.
4. "Liability for breach of contract." Perhaps the most important point. When concluding your contractual relationship with your partner, we advise you to carefully inspect the apartment. This is not a sign of any disrespect for the tenant, these are banal rules established by law.If the tenant seriously violates the requirements established in the contract, then he faces the sanction provided for in the clause on liability for breach of contract. For example. Your partner independently (without your consent) rented the apartment to someone else. This is a serious blow to your contractual relationship.
5. "Final and transitional provisions."

A detailed study of a sample apartment rental agreement reveals the current legislative norms on this topic. The latter apply to standard and specific rights and obligations of the parties, the characteristics of the leased property, as well as the specifics of the contractual terms. A sample apartment rental agreement can be downloaded in the public domain.

What you need to know about the lease agreement

Formed and mutually signed agreements (samples of which can be downloaded on the website) are subject to state registration. Otherwise, they are considered invalid and cannot be challenged if a dispute arises. That is why all participants are interested in such an operation. In addition, registration is necessary to record income and pay taxes. This is the only way to legalize entrepreneurial activity.

The stage of concluding an agreement, its content, resulting guarantees and obligations are regulated by the Civil Code. A popular method of state registration is now considered to be applying to the MFC. Next, to report to the Tax Inspectorate, the person renting the apartment should fill out a 3-NDFL declaration (and you can download it for free).

The inconvenience of legalizing the transaction for the owners lies in the need to register new settlers at their place of residence in the event of a long-term stay in the given territory. The registration will be temporary with the exact dates of departure indicated. However, it gives new residents certain privileged rights that the official owners do not really want to give them.

As for the standard course of the lease, the main issues here are the dates and amounts of payment, responsibility for the property, as well as to each other among the parties to the agreement. However, non-standard issues regulated by a legal contract are also possible. For example, early termination of its operation, repurchase of a rented home, exercise of pre-emptive rights.

Regarding the latter, it should be noted that the person (or group of persons) renting an apartment has an advantage over other people in renewing an expired lease. This circumstance is achievable under equal conditions for applicants and high-quality execution of agreements by an already established tenant.

It is worth noting such a specific situation as the replacement of parties to the agreement while leaving the latter in force. This norm is enshrined in Art. 617 Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Here it is allowed to change the owner who rents out the apartment, and even transfer the rights and obligations from the deceased tenant to the heirs (by will and law). It is almost impossible to refuse such an heir.

A similar picture is also typical for renting a residential apartment (which will be discussed later), which is facilitated by. According to it, it is possible to replace exclusively the user with an apartment. The original employer may be replaced upon death or departure. The distribution of rights occurs between individuals who lived together with him.

A citizen moving in should know his rights, which extend beyond the boundaries of a rented or rented apartment (part of it, or a room in a communal apartment). After signing a formalized agreement, a person has access, on an equal basis with the owners of other apartments in an apartment building, to the use of common areas and premises (based on).

First of all, contracts may differ depending on the type of property being leased (by object). It is acceptable to provide the tenant with the following real estate: vehicles, buildings and premises (residential and non-residential), enterprises, etc. To carry out the delivery of all named objects, the owner must have documentary ownership rights in relation to them.

It is argued here that the drafting of a tenancy agreement for a period of less than one year negates certain restrictions and privileges. For example, the need to list all persons living with the tenant is removed; all of them are deprived of preferential rights to extend the contract, as well as the possibility of freely replacing the central person responsible for renting, etc.

Against the background of the classic version of a standard apartment lease agreement, there is the concept of sublease, which implies a temporary assignment of the rights to use the premises. That is, the current tenant transfers the property to the subtenant, but with the consent of the original owner and the presence of such an opportunity in their cooperation agreement. You can download such a sample, but, as a rule, it concerns non-residential premises.

How to draw up a standard housing agreement

The term “standard” means that there is a standardized set of clauses included in a lease or rental agreement. You are allowed to download such samples, taking their text in full or using it as a basis for additions. The content of the documentation is not unified by the government apparatus, and therefore is subject to independent correction.

Key provisions in a rental agreement

The law does not contain strict samples and forms of such documents, or specific restrictions on their content. Therefore, participants can include their own conditions here that do not contradict the law and the needs of third parties (for example, roommates). Here it is worth explaining the clauses of the agreement that take into account the basic interests of everyone.

The object of the agreement is specific (and not abstract) real estate, and the goal is its allocation on the basis of a lease. It is necessary to most accurately describe the apartment or part transferred for use from one person to another. In addition to its location (full address: region, city, street, numbering), a description of additional characteristics of a residential apartment is allowed: status, area, number of rooms, etc.

In addition, it will be useful to indicate the entire composition of the property being leased when delivering not only the apartment, but also the contents: furniture, household appliances, etc. The certified agreement may contain a whole list of things issued with the right to use. Of course, responsibility for its safety also falls on the shoulders of the person filming, which also provides for compensation in case of damage.

In a different situation (inaccurate description of the apartment or lack of indication of the contents in it), it will be difficult to use the agreement for judicial proceedings in a full format. After a conflict situation arises and one of the citizens appeals to the court, the institution will not accept for consideration a paper with undefined tasks. If household and household items are not taken into account, only the apartment agreement will be considered.

Such a simple parameter as periodic payment for a rented apartment must be indicated in the contract to protect the interests of all participants in legal relations (unless we are talking about gratuitous rent under Article 689 of the Civil Code). Here it is more convenient to write down the amount in the current currency in the country in order to avoid unnecessary calculations with conversion from a foreign equivalent (taking into account the constantly changing rate)

As part of the payment rules, you should indicate the specific amount of money paid monthly (or at other intervals). It is important to set clear dates for making payments. In this situation, the interests of both parties are taken into account. For example, the tenant is guaranteed to maintain the rent level throughout the term of the contract or increase it not unilaterally, but on the basis of preliminary agreements.

In the same block, it is recommended to mention whether utilities and other similar payments are included in the total rental price or whether they are paid by residents separately. The final rental price often depends on seasonality, since housing and communal services tariffs increase during the winter heating season.

In addition to the monthly money paid, do not forget about the previously mentioned compensation for damage to the property used, as well as additional costs for carrying out repairs in the apartment, if such paragraphs were included in the text. The latter can be used to pay for rent or as excess expenses.

The term of the apartment lease agreement was discussed a little earlier. Let us recall that the agreement regarding this issue can be urgent or indefinite. The second circumstance arises in the event of refusal to directly specify the terms of the lease. This situation is fundamentally different from the document of the rental agreement for the apartment. In the latter case, the Civil Code of Russia approves the five-year validity of the agreement without specifying the terms.

At the request of all parties, other conditions may be included here: the procedure for changing agreements, the possibility of keeping pets, a list of persons living together with the tenant and the tenant. For the option of renting an apartment for a long period of time, the latter standard is mandatory for adult citizens (an exception is made for minor children).

Sample apartment rental agreement completed form

You can download the sample both in case of hiring and renting real estate in the form of an apartment. After downloading, you can only change the variable characteristics (information about participants and real estate, as well as the amount and dating of settlements) or supplement the text with your own paragraphs (or shorten it, simplifying it).

Key points of the rental agreement for an apartment with or without furniture:

1. Object and subject (purpose) of the agreement.
2. Responsibilities and rights of the lessor/tenant.
3. Responsibilities and rights of apartment users.
4. Payment system: amount and frequency of payments for the operation of the apartment, method and nature of transactions performed.
5. Duration of maintaining agreements.
6. Procedure for amending already signed agreements.

This listing is not immutable. Some items may be excluded, merged, renamed, or swapped. The above list only maximally reflects the interests of the parties involved in renting and renting an apartment. Participants in legal relations need to decide on the content that is suitable for them and download the required sample in Word format for free.

As a result, the text of the document (after downloading the sample and, probably, changing it) can be located on one A4 page or occupy up to several pages. It all depends on the volume of property transferred for use (except for the apartment itself, as well as its contents), the list of standard and specific rights and obligations of the parties, independently approved by them.

Grounds for termination of the contract

Regulates the premature termination of an existing lease at the request of the owner. At the same time, it considers the termination of agreements by the opposite party to the legal relationship. Often, stopping a running contract is possible during court hearings and debates. Thus, the interested party is obliged to initiate legal proceedings.

Reasons for termination of the contract arising from the tenant:

• the tenant uses the landlord's property in violation of certified agreements or for other purposes (primarily not for living);
• or worsens the quality characteristics of the leased property: causes damage to the structural elements of the apartment or contents (furniture, etc.);
• the landlord periodically does not receive timely payment in the agreed amount and on the required dates;

The listed reasons are the leading ones for apartment rental agreements. However, they may also contain specific conditions, which are also required to be fulfilled by the individual or legal entity acting as the tenant. For example, during a major renovation of an apartment, etc.

Reasons for terminating the contract from the tenant's point of view:

• the landlord does not comply with the provisions of the contract, for example, does not give the apartment for use on the required dates or replaces the property;
• the property given for use revealed shortcomings that were not discussed when signing the contract (perhaps they were hidden on the day of viewing the apartment);
• the landlord does not maintain the rented premises in proper condition after delivery (unless the owner’s obligations under the agreement are assigned to the user of the apartment and this does not contradict the law);
• the rented property has lost its suitability for reasons beyond the control of the tenant: the apartment has received damage as a result of the influence of external circumstances or third parties, or has acquired the status of an emergency and subject to resettlement.

Similar grounds for both representatives of barter relations are also suitable in the case of renting a residential apartment. Increasing requirements and restrictions when hiring complicates the process of renting out and operating an apartment, which increases certain grounds for suspending the contract (for example, the intended use of the apartment).

When termination is initiated by the tenant, he is obliged to send the opposite party written notice of this fact in advance. If one of the opponents is not satisfied with the claims for early termination of the contract, then he has the right to defend his interests in court. This proves the illegality of termination.

How to initiate legal proceedings:
