[:en]For owners of empty flats, now is the perfect time to make their assets profitable with the rental market booming. But when it comes to renting out a property, doubts and fears arise, especially if it is the first time.
1. Non-payment of rent
It is logical, and completely understandable, that the main fear of a landlord is that the tenant stops paying the monthly rent. Because, contrary to what many people think, most landlords are not investors, they are families who rely on this income to pay the mortgage, for example, or to supplement their salary and make ends meet. In addition, the legal process to report a defaulter and get them to pay or leave the property is neither easy nor fast. This risk must be reduced to a minimum, by choosing the tenant very carefully, by taking out non-payment insurance and, above all, by formalizing the rental through a legal contract, no matter how well-known the person is.
2. Damage to the property.
This is another of the major concerns of a landlord. And for this reason, many choose to rent the property unfurnished, although this is not a guarantee that there will be no damage. To prevent and avoid conflicts with the tenant, it is advisable to make a good inventory of everything in the property, preferably with photographs. It is not a bad idea for the owner to take out insurance for the building and to remember that, according to the law, the tenant has to assume the cost of any breakdowns or damage resulting from daily use or misuse, and therefore, we recommend that he take out a policy for the contents.
3. Subleasing to third parties without your consent.
There are tenants who take advantage of the situation to sublet rooms or even the entire property to third parties without the consent of the owner, in order to make a profit. Although the law protects the owner, it can become a problem and a source of conflict with the tenants themselves and with the community of owners. To avoid these situations, it is very important to select the tenant well, asking for relevant references, as well as maintaining an exhaustive follow-up of the rental in case of suspicion.
4. Using housing as a business
In line with the previous example, it may also happen that a person rents the property as a home and then uses it as a commercial premises or business. This represents fraudulent use of the property in the contractual field and therefore a problem for both the owner and the community of neighbours.
5. The number of people who will occupy the home
When renting a property, the owner has to know how many people will live there: if it is a family, a couple, a shared apartment between friends, etc. But it can happen that only one tenant signs the contract and then more people live there than allowed. Approximately 10% of rentals in our country do not respect the maximum number of occupants per rented home; there are rented homes in which the contract is signed with a single tenant and in which more people live than the maximum allowed capacity.
These situations generate discomfort in the community of neighbors, which ends up affecting the owner, although the law protects the latter and can terminate the contract. , it is an optimal moment to monetize your heritage. But when an owner decides to get his property, there are doubts and doubts, especially if it is the first time.
1. The default of the renter
It is logical, and totally understandable, that the principal of an owner followed that the landlord failed to pay the monthly rent. Because, contrary to what many people think, the majority of homeowners are not investors, they are families who share this income of money to pay the mortgage, for example, or to supplement the income and arrive at the end of the month. Furthermore, the legal procedure to report a defaulter and obtain the person who paid, or the person who abandoned the home, is neither easy nor quick.

3. Subletting to third parties without their consent
There are renters who make profits by subletting rooms or ends and all the habitation is transferred to third parties without the consent of the owner, with the objective of profiting. Faced with the fact that the law protects the owner, it can become a problem and a source of conflict within the community of owners. To avoid these situations, it is very important to have a good selection of the driver, taking into account the relevant references, as well as to maintain a thorough follow-up of the driver in case of suspicions.
4. Living with a business
Along the lines of the previous example, it may also happen that a person gains access to secure housing and then uses it as a commercial premises or business. Això represents a fraudulent use of property in the contractual area and therefore a problem for both the owner and the community of residents.
5. The name of the people who will occupy the habitat
When a property is acquired, the owner must know how many people live in it: whether it is a family, a couple, a property shared between friends, etc. But it may happen that the contract means a single tenant and then, you see more people from them. These situations generate discomfort to the community of residents, and end up affecting the relationship that they have with the owners of the properties.[:]
