Renting has been gaining ground in the real estate market, since more and more citizens in our country are faced with the need to rent a home in order to form their new home. Therefore, those who have an empty house, renting it is a more than considerable alternative, since in this way they get a new source of income to be able to face the numerous current economic obstacles. Having a tenant in our home does not mean that we no longer have responsibility for it, but contrary to what many people think, the landlord is ultimately responsible for the property and for everything that happens in it. Therefore, from the Fotocasa real estate portal they explain the situations in which the owner has this responsibility and what he can do.
Damage or inconvenience to the rest of the residents of the building
Having a party until the wee hours of the morning in the house where we rent, causing some act of vandalism or, in short, carrying out any activity that could be harmful or annoying to the rest of the residents of the building may be sufficient reasons to demand actions from the owner. The residents of the community may also sue the landlord to pay for the damage produced, although this amount may later be claimed from the tenant.
Likewise, the community will be able to sue the owner and obtain a sentence that obliges him “to cease the annoying activities,” they point out from the real estate portal. Therefore, the owner of the house is ultimately responsible for what his tenant does in the community. If material damage occurs, in the event that the owner has home insurance, the company will be responsible for the claim made.
Damage to the home that may affect another apartment or the community itself
A faucet that loses water can cause humidity in the apartment of those neighbors with whom we live wall to wall or even a fire that originates in our house can have serious consequences in other properties. “Although the fire comes from an event or act carried out by the tenant, the owner is the one who must also answer to the community,” says the real estate portal. As in the previously mentioned case, the owner who has home insurance will be protected, since the company will be responsible for the claim made.
