So in the event that the LL decides to sell his property or wants it back for himself or family. or decides he can get more off another tenant and makes your life hell to get you out - or even force majeure ....and you ve paid up front - what recourse do you have - have you managed to cover this in your contract
Yes the protection swings both ways in the contract. Maybe I'm lucky but I have a very good relationship with the LL. Not only does he own several apartments, some of which are my neighbours, but also a large and successful B&B.
How do you pay in Cyprus, monthly?
am pleased to hear you have a good relationship with your LL it makes all the difference - as for protection yes so it should be both ways but id still say check double check and get another person to check then check again = too many people get caught with what seems innocent contracts until the brown stuff hits the whirly gig with issues / problems / disputes
yes in our case we pay in cash monthly with pukka vat receipts for everything (utils water rubbish taxes bills are paid on presentation simple as that. All of the bills are paid from the agent/owners account via direct debit so no fear of being disconnected ) Our landlords agent (the owner is chinese and doesnt live here) has been absolutely fabulous cant do enough for us. and we ven met the LL and his family and interpreter too lol
all good for us
I'm glad for you too. I hope you didn't suffer because of the Cypriot banking crisis in 2012/13.
