What should you pay special attention to?
Are there any caveats, such as
- A maximum rental period?
- Does the contract need to be approved by the board?
- Are pets allowed?
Once you have the above, you need to get started with your apartment rental.
It's a good idea to give some thought to who you want to live there, because you also have some neighbours to consider. Are you fine with renting out the apartment to shared flats and students or would you rather have a single tenant with a well-paid job? Luckily, as a landlord, you have a choice, so if your gut feeling is wrong, you can look elsewhere.

However, there are some simple precautions you can take to minimise your risk:
Search on Google and Social Media
Check the tenant's profiles on Facebook and LinkedIn, for example, and search for them on Google. If there are discrepancies in what they have said, there might be a reason for this.
The very "eager" tenants
If the tenant can "pay today and move in tomorrow" you should probably ask why. Have they been evicted from the previous tenancy or what is the reason?
Have a dialogue with previous landlord
If they've rented before, you can ask to speak to the previous landlord.
Is the tenant a business owner?
If the tenant has a business, you can check solvency etc. in various places online. If they have a history of 15 bankruptcies, they are more likely to have problems with rent payments.
Rental contract
There are online templates available for this purpose, but it's important to keep your tongue firmly in your cheek and it's necessary to have an understanding of tenancy law to give yourself the best starting point. A flawed lease can have major financial consequences and it is our clear recommendation to seek professional assistance with the lease.

Things to be aware of when drafting the contract:
- Any time limit and the reason for it
- Rent setting
- How is consumption paid?
- Tenant and landlord maintenance obligations
- Authorisation for pets (one or more?)
- And much more
Move-in inspection
When the keys are handed over to the tenant, you must carry out a move-in inspection. The condition of the apartment should be noted and all surfaces should be inspected. Photos should also be taken of everything to minimise the risk of future disputes. Again, making a mistake can be costly and if you haven't done it before, it's almost impossible to get it right.
