| Houses in Dubai |
If it happens and you decide to rent a house somewhere you must think about some things and points before you consider the amount that you will pay for the annual contract to rent the house, or consider negotiating with the owner to reduce the amount. All of that is not a priority in such cases.
One of the most important things that you should pay attention to is that the real estate owner likes to be reassured that there are no problems with the tenant, as the tenant who raises crises with him from time to time is not desirable. In order not to be in this category, it is better for you to focus on what we will present Here, until you live with peace of mind, and there is no problem between you as a tenant and the owner of the house.
You do not have to accept everything mentioned in the contract
Usually property owners go to law firms to review the contracts that they prepare for tenants to sign, so all the terms of the contract are poured by the property owner in order to guarantee his right if the tenant violates anything. Accordingly, it is best for you to read all the terms of the contract with absolute care,look out for the details that may be hidden, and try to cancel everything that bothering you from them, and ask the property owner to increase paragraphs that you see are in your interest.
Try lowering the down payment
Mostly - in many countries - the property owner requests a high first payment to cover several months, and this payment may overburden the tenant and put pressure on him financially. Most likely, whoever negotiates with you will be the real estate office that the landlord has delegated to follow up on the affairs of the house, and the real estate office is primarily concerned with taking his currency and not Tenant interest and if you see that the office insists on a position that does not serve you, then it is better in this case to address the house owner directly to obtain what you want
Options may be available upon negotiation
When you make the decision to rent a house, be aware that the property owner may raise the price slightly from the market price in order to leave himself with a margin to negotiate with you, so that he may achieve the largest gain from you. Therefore, when negotiating with him, focus on you saving as much as possible, whether by reducing the contract amount and thus the amount of the payments, or asking him for additions that you need, such as excess cabinets in the kitchen or a free month, in order to move furniture and equip the necessary services such as water, electricity, internet, telephone, etc. You may request more than one of the above if you see that the homeowner is flexible and responsive to you.
The percentage of increase in the contract after a year
In some countries, the rate of raising the value of the lease contract is specified by law, and in other countries it is left to the agreement between the landlord and the tenant so if the matter exists, you must agree in advance on the margin of increase to make it the lowest possible amount and link it to the real estate market, if the market falls, then the landlord is obliged to reduce, If it rises, you are obligated to pay an additional amount and agreeing on a specific percentage that has a clear ceiling that obliges the owner not to cross it if the market value has increased higher than it.
Agree on maintenance terms
It is often written and in some countries the issue of maintenance is clearly regulated. For example, if the maintenance of a defect exceeds a specified amount, then the lessee bears this and if it falls short of that amount, the responsibility lies with the house owner but it is more likely that this will be recorded in the contract, so you should pay attention to the importance of clarity in the matter of maintenance and do not carry yourself more than its capacity. In the weakest cases, you can agree to periodic maintenance every year at the expense of the real estate owner under the supervision of the office that authorized him to follow-up the affairs of the house, or You undertake them to provide maintenance bills and deduct the amount from the next first payment.
Delays are unbearable
There are malfunctions that cannot be delayed, such as water or air-conditioner malfunctions, and these must be completed in a timely manner, so put them in a separate paragraph so that the owner bears the responsibility for the costs related to them. The result in the house is not from your own property to spend on it, and you may repair an air conditioner, a door, a window, or A problem in the kitchen with a large sum, and then you leave the house after a month, so the landlord has repaired your account and presented the house to the tenant who follows you, ready to be free from breakdowns.
Conditions of moving from home
A very important issue is the negotiation of the right to change the house because of the selection of your work or because of circumstances beyond your control, therefore it is better for you to write down the details of the matter in the contract, so that you give the owner a period of one or two months at the latest to receive the keys without imposing a fine on you evacuate the house.
changing Apartment in the same building
If the building in which you rented is owned by one person, it is better if you write in the contract that you are a priority in moving to another apartment if it becomes vacant and suits your family, as if more or more rooms are available or it has convenient features for you, and it was agreed that the owner offers you moving to it before offering it to others in search of a new tenant.
Flexible and robust negotiation
Maintain flexibility during negotiation. The market is a bid and a request. If you see the owner petrified at some points, try to mitigate it in a way that does not harm you. If the market is in a recession then this gives you strength in negotiation be solid and soft at the same time, and do not put the opportunity if you see it It is appropriate and if the amount has increased a little, many opportunities are regretted if it is lost remember that staying at home is better than moving if the cost difference is not great for moving and changing and the trouble of cleaning and arranging you are indispensable if you stay at home and renew the contract.
