How to find an apartment for rent in Ivano-Frankivsk?

Finding an apartment without the help of an agency seems attractive because of the possible savings. But practice shows that this is where fraudulent schemes most often occur. Experts of the real estate agency "Realtor" advise: if you still decide to look for an apartment on your own, follow clear safety rules.

1. Check the owner's documents. Be sure to ask for the originals: a passport and a document confirming the ownership of the apartment (an extract from the State Register of Property Rights or a purchase and sale agreement).
   
   

2. Do not agree to an advance payment without inspecting the apartment. Many scammers take a deposit for non-existent apartments. The real deal is only concluded after reviewing and signing the contract.
   
   

3. Make a written contract. Even if the lease is short-term. The document should specify the address of the property, the amount, the lease term, the payment procedure, and the obligations of the parties.
   
   

4. Use official resources. The website realtor.if.ua publishes only verified properties with a full description and photos. We verify the ownership of each property before posting it.
   
   

Legal basis: Civil Code of Ukraine, Articles 810-825. An example of a lease agreement can be obtained from a lawyer of the Realtor agency.
