The summer season may be an additional source of profit for those owners of apartments who leave for all three months to live in a village or to the country, in another city or just travel. How? Seasonal rental rental. Although the vast majority of employers want to rent an apartment for a long time, and the share of year -round demand and proposals for seasonal housing does not reach 10%, this situation changes in summer.
Applicants with their parents come to May-September to the capital, going to enter Moscow universities, tourists who want to better study the city, businessmen, internships, etc. D. In addition, often the Muscovites themselves, who start repairs at home in the summer, so as not to breathe building dust daily, they decide to temporarily move to another apartment.
Thus, there is a chance to rent an apartment for the summer. The main thing, in advance – it is advisable in May – to deal with this issue. But how profitable such an enterprise will be? First of all, be prepared for the fact that the seasonal rent is usually set by 5 – 20% lower than the average level of prices for renting apartments. Because, firstly, you can hardly offer tenants a good repair and abundance of household appliances.
Secondly, you probably will not want to transport all your things if you rent a two- or three-room apartment, which means one of the rooms to which you transfer your property will have to be closed. Sometimes the owners also want to return to their apartment from time to time – this is a condition that is certainly stipulated with the tenant in advance, also lowers the rental cost.
In addition, the seasonal delivery of the apartment requires a thorough and attentive selection of residents. There are many risks. The first of them is the spoilage of things that you leave in the apartment. Unfortunately, often tenants are not particularly careful about housing in which they are not going to stay for a long time. The result may be a broken washing machine or a huge account for the phone (therefore, it is recommended to disable it before being posted).
Another risk is due to the fact that tenants can quickly move out, for example, a month later, and you, if you were going to rent an apartment for 3-4 months, will incur losses, t. to. Time will take to search for new tenants. Finally, if you pass housing unofficially, while you are in the country, the tenants may well move out without paying anything.
As a result, so that the seasonal delivery of housing costs you at least losses and maximum benefits, the best you can do is conclude a lease agreement with tenants. In it, you will prescribe all the rights and obligations of the parties, list the property transferred for temporary use, specify the amount of pledge and rent.
