Our professional consultants will be glad to assist you in preparing your apartment for rent. Often, some minor changes and improvements to the property can increase the apartment’s rent as much as 30%. For instance, there are many questions often tormenting landlords. Is it necessary to remove the furniture? Is it necessary to buy new furniture, or is it enough to buy light colored covers and matching curtains? If new furniture is required, what style and what type? Is an investment of many thousand dollars justified or is it enough to spend much less? Is it necessary to renovate the property for each client? Which renovation style will result in the highest rent? Don’t suffer over these and other questions. Just give us a call at +7(495)232-6703 and we’ll be happy to assist you with free advice. Our experienced specialists from the landlord liaison department will be happy to visit your apartment and give you practical advice on the spot.

You don’t have to spend additional funds and resources on expensive legal advice. With in-house lawyers, Evans will take care of your legal needs and provide you with a draft of a tenancy or lease agreement. Should you have any other real estate needs, our in-house lawyers will be glad to assist you with any type of complex real estate transaction.

To provide you with maximum security, we will present to you full information on the tenant, including his or her passport details and employer information and contacts.

Legally sound tenancy or lease agreements are of ultimate importance. They should regulate the relationship with tenant throughout the entire tenancy term in great detail, including the terms and conditions of the lease termination. For instance, it is important to state in advance who will evaluate the damage to the premises and by what standards, who will determine the cause of such damage, and the source of the compensation. It is necessary to describe all items remaining in the apartment and list all furniture and equipment, as well as other expensive features. If you rely on us, we will make our best effort to protect you from the possible risks of renting your property.

Do you know if all the property paperwork is current and up-to-date? Some larger corporations and government agencies require the full set of ownership documents, including an official BTI plan, which corresponds with the apartment floor plan.

We will be glad to assist you in evaluating your paperwork. If any of the ownership documents are missing or outdated, or if you need to complete the state registration of the inheritance, gift or any other ownership form, our legal department consultants can assist you in a timely and efficient manner to acquire the necessary documents. In Russia it is particularly important to have all the papers and certificates in order to protect you from bureaucratic nightmares, and we are always there to help.

Moreover, you can use our services to insure your property, finance it, receive any type of permissions and related paperwork, as well as resolve any complex legal issues.

If you are planning a renovation, you will need building permits and floor plan approvals. If you have completed the renovation already, but have not received any permits or approvals, it is advisable to get it done as soon as possible. The process of getting permissions becomes much more complex and expensive every year, so it is best to finish it soon.

If you own an apartment on the first (ground) floor, it might make financial sense for you to change the zoning on the property from residential to commercial and use or sell the property as an office. Our professional consultants will be glad to explain to you in detail the nature of the documents needed, the procedure for getting the permissions, as well as free you of the hassle of getting these documents yourself.

We will be glad to research your situation to find an optimal tax strategy for you. Did you know that it is possible to lower your Russian income tax burden from 13% to 6% under certain circumstances? We’ll be glad to research whether it is possible for you.

We will suggest to you a reliable insurance policy to protect you and your property from any potential liability from your neighbors. It only takes a couple hundred dollars per year to protect your apartment from water damage or fire as well as protect you from any neighbors’ claims in case the tenant causes any damage.

We do not stop working for you once we have found the tenant for your apartment and the agreement is signed between the parties. After the lease is signed, we’ll assist in temporary registration of your tenant in Moscow at the apartment address. Moreover, our experienced handymen are available for move-in assistance – installation of any household appliances, furniture assembly, putting up curtains and pictures, installation of a water heater, internet and cable TV, and much more. In most cases, these services are included in our brokerage fee at no additional charge.

But this is not all! If you entrust us with renting your apartment, we will do the lease management up to the agreement termination date and negotiate with the tenant should any issues arise. Upon the expiration of the lease term, we will oversee the process of lease termination, apartment transfer and bill payment.

Leave your hassles to us and we will make the property renting process an easy, profitable and enjoyable one!
