A New Hurdle for Landlords: Prepare to Pay a Steep Fine for Every Unregistered Sqft You Rent Out! 💸💰
Cruising along, leasing out your abode with minimal bureaucracy, and then... ZING! The State Duma has spoken: the era of 'flexible' apartments is getting snipped. Now, renting out without an official contract and neighbors' consent will land you a punishing fine, and it's non-negotiable!
On the Verge of Martial Law? 🔨🛡️
The rental market is about to turn upside down as a new bill heads to the government. Whether you're grandmas subletting a studio, college students, or big-time landlords, everyone must now pen a contract and give each renter a thumbs up from the neighbors! If you dreamed of a quiet, hassle-free income stream by renting out daily, well, forget about it. A contract is essential, and for rule-breakers, better prepare a wallet with plenty of cash on hand:
- Individuals face fines up to 10,000 rubles
- Officials - up to 20,000
- Legal entities - up to 50,000 rubles
And if you dare defy the neighbors, prep for an extra fine! However, the bill's authors insist that the objective is not to create paperwork nightmares but to force everyone to sign official contracts - be it for a year, month, or couple of days.
"Big Brother" for Rentals: Russians are PISSED! 😡🇷🇺
Your apartment, but managing it feels like a state affair! The web is buzzing with outrage:
"Howl from injustice! Always a neighbor who's against renting. What to do?!" "As always: protecting neighbors' interests, but in reality, it's about taking owners' money."
The Deputies claim: all for order - knowing who lives in your building and raising short-term rentals to a "hotel" standard: passport checks, registration, strict record-keeping. But Russians fear that the new rule will transform into an endless witch hunt. After all, there's always a neighbor who'll say "no" - and despite the contract, the fine will land on you!
Beyond Taxes, Now Neighbors' Opinions Matter (A Lot)! 🤝👋
Even the most law-abiding landlords risk being the odd ones out as your apartment now feels more like a government datacenter than your property. Without registration, accessing kindergarten, school, loans, or social services becomes near impossible, but despite this, most still rented out 'under the table'. Now, full legalization is on the horizon, but at what cost?
