According to Yadèlin Justin Sèglé, author of the book ” The regulation of domestic lease in 70 questions and answers “, the question of domestic lease interests the common Beninese, whether one is the owner of a rental house, a tenant, a real estate agent or a law professional. Each actor at times asks himself many questions that are only the result of daily experience.
Questions tenants should ask themselves.
What are my rights and duties? How and where should I pay the rent so that I won’t be told that I haven’t paid? When I took possession of the lease, I paid a deposit and I try to guarantee a certain amount, but here I am at the end of the lease and the landlord refuses to give me back my deposit. What should I do? The flat I live in is in need of repair. Should I or my landlord insure them?
The main issues facing the real estate agent.
What conditions must be met to legally qualify as an estate agent? What formalities must it meet? What if I were given the power to lease a flat as an estate agent?
