Ukrainians are waiting for new rules of rental apartments

The government is going to toughen control over the payment of taxes, experts warn. Ukrainians are waiting for new rules of rental apartments – the Cabinet has decided to fight with the shadow rent, it is now illegal seems to be 70% rented housing.

Out of the shadows will force landlords to raise prices and stop to make some concessions to the tenants. For example, immediately after Ukraine has jumped the cost of utilities, apartment owners at first did not give the tenants any "discounts".

Only after the fall of the demand, the landlords began to offer assistance with subsidy and lower monthly rent.

If the state to strengthen control over the payment of taxes, the situation could be repeated, predicts the Chairman of the Committee of the Association of real estate professionals Eduard Brazas.

But all will be governed by demand. "While the settlement, which they say in the Ministry, incomprehensible. But from experience, government intervention is not a factor that normalizes the relations between the clients. So I don't have any expectations. Under the current legislation, it is possible to have good, cultured and quite the business relationship.

The fact that the parties do not use these opportunities, does not mean that this can be resolved by amendments to the law", – said Brazas. To bring the market out of the shadows, at least in part, could decrease the tax, experts say.

Although he now is not so great. In Parliament, there is bill No. 4909, which proposes to take with a tenant only 5% of income for rent.

We will remind, the Ukrainian cities topped the world ranking, the ratio of wages and prices to rental housing. Ukrainians who live in Metropolitan areas give a flat, almost all earned.
