Occasional agreement. Better security in case things go south.

Occasional rental is a solution that provides greater security than a regular rental agreement. Its main benefit is the faster tenant eviction if they don't want to move out after the agreement ended or was terminated.

The most important differences between occasional and ordinary lease are:

1. A tenant in the occasional rental agrees in advance to eviction and provides an address to which the bailiff can move them. The landlord does not have to waste time on a lengthy court process, and the eviction is not delayed by waiting for social housing.

2. Only a landlord who is a natural person can sign the occasional rental agreement. Registered business entities can use the regular lease agreement or a solution dedicated to them, the institutional lease agreement.

3. Occasional rental agreement can only be concluded for a specified time. It may be any period, no longer than 10 years.

4. The deposit in occasional rentals is limited to six times the rent. In a regular agreements, the limit is twice as high, but it doesn't really matter as it's Rendin, who guarantees rent payment and protects the landlord against possible losses.

5. Occasional rental allows you to increase the rent during the contract. This is a benefit that is not available in a regular rental agreement. To use it, however, the parties must include information about increasing the rent in the rental agreement.

6. The landlord must report the occasional lease to the tax office. They can do it in person, on the ePUAP platform or by registered mail and have 14 days from the date of commencement of the rental to do so. If the tax office doesn't receive the notification within this period or if the landlord forgets about this obligation, the agreement will be treated as an regular rental.

Providing the address to which the tenant will move out in case of eviction is one of the conditions necessary for the occasional lease agreement to be valid. This is also a common problem for people who don't have a family ready to take them in and for foreigners. However, at Rendin we have a solution that allows you to forget about this problem.

Our partner, najem-okazjonalny.com, offers notarized statements indicating the address for occasional rental agreements. The landlord may suggest the tenant to pay for the document necessary for the agreement or use this service themselves by purchasing an address for their tenant.

In order for an occasional rental agreement to be effectively concluded and to provide the landlord with additional protection in the event of a dishonest tenant who doesn't want to voluntarily move out of the apartment, the parties must meet certain conditions. After signing the contract by hand, by both parties, the tenant must provide the landlord with three documents:

1. A statement indicating the property to which they will move in the event of eviction.

2. A declaration by the owner of this property that he will accept a tenant under his roof.

3. A tenant's declaration signed by a notary in which they voluntarily submits to enforcement (eviction) and declare to leave the premises within the time specified in the enforcement request.

The landlord must report the occasional rental agreement to the tax office. They have 14 days to do so, counting from the start date of the rental, as indicated in the contract, and they can submit the notice in person, on the ePUAP platform or send by registered mail. If the landlord fails to report the occasional agreement, or reports it after the 14-day period has expired, the agreement will not become an occasional rental and will be treated as a regular rental agreement, regardless of its provisions.

It is also important to note that in the case of occasional agreement, the landlord must show the tenant the contract notification to the tax office if they request to see it.

For the duration of the rental agreement signed on the Rendin platform, we charge a fixed monthly fee of 2.5% of the rent amount specified in the agreement. So, if you rent your apartment for 4,000 PLN a month, the Rendin fee will only be 100 PLN.

By default, it's the tenant who bears this cost and they must make a transfer of the fee amount to the Rendin account once a month. However, as a landlord, you can decide that you will pay the fee yourself, from your own account, and increase the rent paid by the tenant by that amount. Regardless of which party is the payer, they will receive monthly invoices from us.

To get the Rendin protection, follow these steps:

1. Sign up for our digital platform, then create a property listing.

2. Invite tenant candidates to create Rendin accounts and get background checked.

3. Select a vetted tenant and input their details into the provided agreement template.

4. Review the agreement with your tenant and finalize it directly on our platform.

5. Sign the rental agreement digitally, then simply sit back, relax and enjoy Rendin protection.

Apartments rented on our platform are available completely deposit-free. Instead, as a security for the contract, we offer landlords our guarantee of rent payment and loss compensation up to 10 times the rent amount. This provides protection in case of losses due to the tenant's fault and other benefits, such as automatic tenant candidate verification and free legal assistance throughout the entire rental period, including assistance in terminating the agreement and eviction.

Our goal is to create a fair and safe environment for landlords and tenants. We want to make renting more affordable, that's why we replace the 1 or 2-month deposit (which we believe is outdated and completely ineffective) with comprehensive Rendin protection.
