In addition, some leases may include punitive clauses under which the tenant must pay “rental fees” to cover part of the landlord`s cost of re-renting the premises. However, the amount of “replacement” costs must be reasonable and must be a preliminary estimate of the harm the lessor will suffer if he has to re-rent the premises prematurely. If you violate the term of the lease, you are responsible for correcting it. If you are the tenant, this may mean that you are paying money to solve any problems caused by you or your guests. If you do not pay voluntarily to correct the infringement, you may be prosecuted for damages caused by the offence and/or possibly evicted by the owner. It is a crime under the law that the landlord/agent does not give a written agreement to a tenant. A regular agreement – it is a week-to-week agreement that lasts until the lease is terminated by both parties. If a fixed-term agreement expires and neither party takes steps to terminate the lease, the contract will automatically be transferred to a regular “week-a-week” agreement. A tenancy agreement is a legally binding contract between the landlord/agent and the tenant/tenant. A common situation is that the tenant has exclusive ownership of his own bedroom and sharing kitchen, bathroom and laundry.
The description in the agreement of the portions of the tenant`s property and the non-exclusive property guarantees the rights and obligations of all parties. The lessor/representative is responsible for preparing the lease and providing a copy to the approved applicant. The lease agreement must be submitted to the approved applicant before he can be asked to pay funds for the lease (with the exception of a key deposit or holding deposit) and before the lease can be considered legally binding. You are responsible for maintaining your lease in accordance with your lease and the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008. Just like tenants who live in private rental properties, you are expected to meet the terms of your rental agreement, be a good neighbor and take care of public residential property at all times. A tenant without a written agreement always has legal protection. The lessor must provide a copy of the contract to the tenant before accepting money or entering a tenancy agreement.
