Tenant Rights When Signing a Lease

When signing a lease agreement, tenants should be aware of their basic rights. Below are the key points that Legal Diligence Medellín advises to review with a specialized attorney. - **Clear landlord information**: know the owner’s identity and contact details. - **Term and renewal**: check the lease duration and the conditions for extensions. - **Deposit and guarantees**: understand the deposit amount, its purpose, and the conditions for its return. - **Maintenance and repairs**: identify who is responsible for routine maintenance and major repairs. - **Early termination clauses**: review under what circumstances either party may end the lease before its expiry. - **Privacy and access rights**: ensure the landlord respects your privacy and that any property visits are scheduled with prior notice. - **Dispute resolution procedures**: be aware of the mechanisms for resolving disputes, such as mediation or arbitration.
