Almost all advertisements about housing include a note that upon arrival you need to make an insurance deposit in the amount of rent in 1-2 months, sometimes more. If the owner of the pledge does not ask, this is the first reason to be alened - who will risk his property, trusting a stranger? Tell about the rules that you must comply with when searching for a removable apartment or room. Remember that the miser pays twice.
Documents are in order
Before signing the contract, the landlord must submit to you a package of documents: your identity card, a document confirming the right of ownership, or a power of attorney on behalf of who this property belongs. You also need to compile a contract - never make money until its signing, otherwise you will remain with anything. In the contract itself, provisions relating to the information about the apartment should be indicated (the address that specifically rent a room or a whole apartment, in what condition it is), the order of arrival and departure, the deposited and rules for you and the landlord. All provisions on the damage is better to specify on the shore - wrap their photos and video, fixing all the faults. The same applies to premature departure - this can happen on both sides, so this also needs to write a couple of lines.

Checking the work of electrical appliances
Do not trust the landlord, and check everything yourself. Look, whether the stove works, the microwave, refrigerator and other devices. Another question concerns wiring: it must be checked by connecting the extension and several devices to it immediately. If the plugs do not fly, then the wiring is most likely good. If you find a trouble after check-in, the landlord can feed you with breakfasts - secure yourself from trouble in advance.
Registration at the place of residence
Ask the Landlord to make you temporary registration in the apartment for the duration of the contract. From his part it does not threaten anything - temporary registration does not give the right of ownership, but only fixes the fact of your stay in the apartment. It may be important when you move to a major city and want to send a child to a kindergarten or school. Registration in the hospital is not at the place of residence, so you should not worry about it - you will be provided with medical services, if you come and write applications in the office of the head.

Payment on accounts
At the end of the month you will pay utility services. Ask the owner a copy of the receipt, and not list the money on account only from his words. Also, the method of transferring funds must correspond to the one that you registered in the contract. Better if it is a bank transfer. In many companies, the social package of the employee includes a partial or full housing payment, for which you will need to provide not only the contract, but also confirmation of the departments.
Services of realtors and lawyers
In megalopolis, this business flourishes: every second will convince you that it is impossible to find good housing yourself. However, examples from life prove that it is not. Yes, you will need more time, but you will not overpare for third-party services. But to take advice of the lawyer, we would advise - this person competently review the contract so that it is beneficial for both parties, and not just the landlord.
