Despite the fact that apartments and rooms are rented in a big city at any time of the year, it is not so easy for potential residents to find them. If we are talking about tight deadlines, then the task of finding suitable housing in general seems hardly feasible. What advice can you give to those who want to quickly rent a house?
First of all, decide on your requirements, make a list of things that must be in the apartment. If you are interested in the availability of fast Internet, a separate bathroom, a large TV or a fold-out sofa, it is better to mark these points as priority ones even before looking for a possible home. Think about the suitable location of the apartment, number of storeys, nearby infrastructure, transport stops or parking.
Second, calculate your budget, considering that you may be asked to pay for an additional month beyond the first. As a rule, the owners can take money immediately for the last month of residence. Some landlords require a deposit from tenants, which is returned after the end of the lease, if everything is in order with the apartment and property. If you decide to contact a real estate agency, make sure you have money for commission expenses.
Thirdly, do not be too lazy to check with the owner of the apartment the documents for housing and his property rights in order to avoid the so-called "sublease". It would not hurt to sign a legally binding contract. Indicate the amount of payment, lease terms, describe the behavior of the parties in case of unforeseen circumstances. Finally, don't go to apartment inspections alone. Scammers know that you have some amount of money with you, for example, for bail or pay for several months - so you can easily be lured into a trap.
Of course, you can find an apartment as quickly as possible through a trusted federal agency. Large reputable firms will help you buy an apartment in Irkutsk and rent a studio in Moscow - they have their own offices and realtors in many cities.
Remember that the commission that you pay for the work of specialists will pay off with minimal search terms, convenient apartment inspections and compliance with your requirements. In addition, if you work with a good realtor, you have a contract with guarantees, the chances of stumbling upon scammers and scammers are significantly reduced. For those who rent out apartments, the agency can also be the fastest way to rent out housing at a price of interest.
