Apartment rental business. Pitfalls of daily apartment rentals: how to build a business

The rental business has been and remains popular for many years, since many people do not have the opportunity to purchase housing, and companies seek to reduce the level of one-time investments in development activities. The range of objects that can be provided for rent is constantly growing: at the moment you can even rent out such things as roller skates, skis, etc. - everything that is not in constant demand, but is an object of seasonal use.

However, the most common option is still renting a property. In order to receive a certain income from the provision of a particular premises for rent, it is necessary to take into account a number of nuances that will be discussed in this article.

It is necessary to understand that real estate is usually classified into 3 groups – land, housing and non-residential premises. The most common types of services in this market are the provision of rental housing and non-residential premises.

Among non-residential properties, commercial real estate is usually rented. At the same time, all reputable analytical agencies identify the following types of it:

office rooms;
trading;
warehouse;
industrial.

In addition, some organizations rent a separate type of premises - the category “for special purposes”. Here buildings are allocated for kindergartens, schools, hospitals, churches, etc.

In addition to real estate, you can rent out land, gazebos, equipment, cars, special equipment, inventory and much more. However, this is a rarer and more complex form of business.

What's the best deal?

If we talk about residential real estate, the average cost of a one-room apartment 10-15 minutes from the metro in a residential area in Moscow will cost 5-6.5 million rubles. At the same time, the average rental rate for such rooms is about 25-30 thousand rubles. As a result, when calculating, it can be obtained that the minimum payback period for a one-room apartment will be about 15 years.

Accordingly, this option cannot be called very profitable from an investment point of view: the only case in which this can really pay off is when the housing was inherited.

If we talk about office premises, they are somewhat more expensive than residential ones, since their location should be in more accessible places, and their area is larger. In Moscow, a small office space will cost 6.5-7.5 million rubles, provided that the area is about 60-70 square meters. In this case, the rental rate will be calculated per 1 square meter.

According to the Knight Frank agency, at the end of 2015 the rental rate for class A offices was about 25 thousand rubles, and for class B office premises - about 15 thousand rubles per year. Accordingly, the maximum payback period will be about 8 years.

Retail premises are even more profitable to rent out than office premises - their payback period is 5-6 years. But there is an important limitation: for such real estate, location is one of the key factors. The premises should be located in a central area, in an area with high traffic levels. Finally, it must be well executed.

In general, commercial real estate is inferior to residential real estate in only one parameter: the level of risk, since it depends on the economic situation in the country and a particular city.

To learn where to start and how to develop such activities, watch the following video:

How to organize such a business from scratch?

First of all, you need to find a suitable premises for rent. In the case of inheriting living space, the procedure will begin with the preparation of documents confirming that the entrepreneur is the owner of the property.
In a situation of searching for a ready-made premises, it is best to turn to the services of professional agencies who will help assess the real cost of housing or commercial real estate: an inexperienced businessman can easily miscalculate.
Next, you need to complete the necessary documentation for the property. If this is commercial real estate and you plan to rent it out to special organizations (for example, those working in the catering industry), you must take care of obtaining additional permits and conclusions from certain services.
After completing the initial documentation, it is necessary to carry out redevelopment and repairs: in the case of residential real estate, it is important to purchase a certain set of furniture and household appliances, since apartments in which you can live immediately after moving in can be offered at a higher cost. In the case of commercial real estate, it is important to focus on increasing the free space and the possibility of subsequent redevelopment to suit the client’s needs.

In Russian practice, many people rent out residential real estate without concluding a contract - this allows them to get rid of the personal income tax of 13% and reduce the payback period. However, this is associated with certain risks - in particular, those associated with the unreliability of clients. Therefore, both in the case of non-residential and residential real estate, it is necessary to formalize the relationship with the tenant.

Where to look for clients?

Finding clients through standard advertising options (placing ads in public places or print media) is not effective within the rental business. Advertising can be carried out through social networks (this is especially true for the situation of renting out residential real estate) - here the “word of mouth” effect will work.

In addition, posting on thematic sites and forums is suitable. For retail premises, especially those located in shopping centers, it is possible to post a “for rent” sign with the owner’s phone number. This will expand the circle of potential customers to all visitors to the shopping center.

Finally, there are 2 more fairly effective ways to find clients - maintaining a thematic website or blog with unobtrusive advertising of services as a landlord, as well as distributing brochures and business cards.

Necessary costs

If an entrepreneur is going to engage in such a business, he must understand that among the main cost items it is necessary to include redevelopment costs: in this case, clients are ready to enter into rental agreements at much higher rates (the difference can be up to one and a half times). This happens because after redevelopment, the percentage of usable area most often increases, in addition, the room can be changed to suit your own needs.

Among the costs it is also necessary to highlight:

Expenses for construction or acquisition of premises.
The cost of services of a specialist who can estimate the market price of real estate.
Expenses for maintenance and security of the premises.
Costs for electricity, water supply, etc.

Underwater rocks

One of the pitfalls is determining the optimal investment of money. Often, inexperienced entrepreneurs incorrectly assess the value of a particular premises, thereby investing in illiquid objects, losing a large amount of money.

In addition, it is important to pay attention to the legality of the business, changes in legislation and the process of paperwork (primarily this applies to commercial real estate).

Please note that tax legislation in the rental business is constantly changing.

When calculating costs and the level of payback, it is necessary to determine several development options - optimistic, most realistic and pessimistic in order to determine the approximate payback period of the object, as well as the fact of how to diversify risks. It is imperative to have other sources of income in order to insure yourself against a situation of lack of money.

Pros and cons of this area

This type of business, like others, has a number of advantages and disadvantages that arise from its characteristics. Among the disadvantages, the main one can be highlighted - the search for a tenant can last for many months (primarily this applies to industrial facilities and retail real estate in impassable places). As a result, even a high rental price will not be able to compensate for the financial costs that the lessor will have to bear during the entire period of downtime.

Also among the disadvantages are:

a fairly long payback period;
not very high level of profitability;
high level of initial costs.

In this situation, the only rational option is to purchase liquid property (one for which there is always a certain level of demand). To do this, it is important to have a good understanding of this area or seek the services of a specialist.

Among the advantages of business are:

long-term contracts for a period of one year or more;
stable level of profit;
the income will be received by the lessor constantly;
passive nature of making a profit (the landlord does not need to expend any effort after signing an agreement with the tenant);
the possibility of organizing a business without registering as a legal entity.

Thus, the rental business is quite an attractive area for earning money. However, it is best to combine it with other sources of income in order to insure yourself against possible risks.

In this material:

Renting apartments by the day as a business can provide a stable income, which will be many times greater than with long-term rentals. This is explained by the increased popularity of the service, because its cost is more affordable than a hotel room, so it will not be difficult to find clients. As a rule, apartments are rented daily by business people who come to the city for 1-2 days to resolve business issues, or by tourists who want to see the sights.

Features of “daily” delivery

Real estate has always been one of the most profitable sources of income, so most citizens prefer to invest their money in this economic niche. With the right approach, you can organize a stable business renting out apartments by the day, gradually expanding it and thereby increasing financial profit. You can do this in several ways:

rent out your own home;
rent real estate;
apply for a mortgage.

The best option is to rent out your own square meters for temporary use, but often beginning businessmen use real estate that they themselves have rented. Some citizens approach the issue globally and take out a mortgage, after which they begin to rent out the purchased apartment. Thus, the newly minted home owner provides himself with a constant income, which is enough not only to pay off the loan, but also for his own needs.

Renting an apartment daily as a business has the following advantages:

Good income, which can be much higher than with long-term rent.
You can use your own housing at almost any time, but if you rent out your housing monthly, you will have to wait until the end of the contract.
If you plan to sell real estate, then while you are looking for buyers you can earn a little extra money by housing visiting people for a day or several days.
If you cooperate with a real estate agency or several individual realtors, you will ensure a constant flow of clients, which means a stable income.
There is no need to register as an individual entrepreneur, which reduces tax costs and increases profits.

Organizational aspects

It will not be possible to create a highly profitable business for renting out apartments without investments, because... To attract customers, it is necessary to give housing a “marketable appearance”.

The first thing you need to do is a high-quality and modern renovation. It is not necessary to purchase expensive fabric wallpaper and mahogany parquet, but you should not skimp on finishing materials either.

The furnishings in the apartment are extremely important: it should be attractive and cozy, because even when staying for a day, a person wants to relax in comfort. Each room should have all the necessary furniture and household appliances. In addition, clean bed linen, pillows, blankets and several towels should be prepared for temporary guests. Bathroom supplies, such as soap, toilet paper and shampoo, will also not be superfluous, because many tourists often forget basic personal hygiene products.

Another important condition for a comfortable stay for tenants is the availability of the necessary utensils in the kitchen. It is unlikely that they will prepare full dinners or lunches, but nevertheless, you need to take care of having a kettle, a pot, a frying pan, several plates, cutlery and other utensils. In addition, there must be:

fridge;
gas or electric stove;
dinner table;
trash bin and bags;
broom and dustpan;
dishwashing detergent and washcloth.

Search for tenants

When the apartment is ready, you can start looking for clients by placing advertisements in city newspapers, social networks, on specialized Internet sites and street stands. As practice shows, applicants for temporary housing are most attracted to advertisements with real photographs of the apartment, so they must be taken. Advertising requires a lot of time, and in some cases, insignificant financial costs. But if you cover as many information sources as possible, you will be able to attract a huge number of tenants.

It should be noted that it is necessary to constantly distribute advertisements for renting your own apartment for daily rent in order to ensure a continuous flow of clients.

To save yourself from unnecessary hassle, it is recommended to contact a real estate agency. After concluding the contract, professional realtors will independently post advertisements for daily rental housing and communicate with interested people. Inspection and actual delivery of apartments is carried out in the presence of their owners. The agency charges a small fee for its work, which can be a fixed amount or a percentage of the daily cost of living.

Despite all the advantages of working with professional realtors, most people who start a real estate business prefer to work independently, because... in this case they receive a higher income. It is not difficult to calculate the profitability of daily rental housing: for example, if you rent out a 2-room apartment at an average cost of 2,000 rubles, then the profit in 30 days will be 60,000 rubles. It is important to note that the level of earnings directly depends on the location of the property and its level of comfort.

Do not forget that the daily rental housing business, like any other type of activity, has pitfalls. Often you come across tenants who spoil or steal things, so before moving people in, it is recommended to conclude a formal agreement in order to receive compensation in the event of force majeure. In addition, the object and all property located in it should be insured.

Buying real estate is not only a way to save your own savings, but also an opportunity to make money on it by reselling or renting it out. This is one of the liquid and unique assets. There are two main aspects that guide businessmen who invest in real estate: the desire to save their money in the face of inflation and the desire to increase their income by reselling real estate or renting it out.

Pros and cons of renting an apartment

Purchasing housing for the purpose of further renting it out is the most common investment transaction. You won’t be able to make money quickly from such an operation; the average rental income is 3.5-5% per annum of the cost of the apartment. But this is a promising and long-term investment; over time, you can move adult children here or sell it for the purpose of building a country house. Of course, renting out an apartment requires some hassle: you need to constantly look for tenants, maintain the apartment, and make cosmetic repairs.

Before the crisis of 2008-2010. the number of “investment” transactions, subsequently associated with earning income, amounted to approximately a third of all transactions on the Russian market. Gradually their share decreased to 20%, and currently stands at 15%. At the same time, the number of long-term investors who purchase real estate for the future has increased.

Investing money in the purchase of real estate is a long-term project, but more reliable than a bank deposit. A bank deposit can be placed at 10-12% per annum in rubles, but possible risks must also be taken into account: recently there have been many bankrupt banks. Banks with a solid reputation offer low interest rates.

How much can you earn by renting out an apartment?

Let's take a look at the table, which clearly demonstrates rental income:

Apartment options	Apartment cost	Rental income per month, in rubles	Rental income per year, in rubles
Room	800 000	7 000	84 000
1 room apartment	1 900 000	14 000	168 000
2-room apartment	2 700 000	18 000	216 000
3-room apartment	3 500 000	22 000	264 000

But in addition to income, there are also fixed expenses - these are: apartment repairs, rent and utility bills (if this is not included in the rent), insurance and income tax.

Apartment options	Rent and utility bills per year, in rubles	Tax (13% of rent)	Redecorating	Insurance	Total expenses per year
Room	24 000	10 920	6 000	3 200	44 120
1 room apartment	30 000	21 840	12 000	7 600	71 440
2-room apartment	42 000	28 080	24 000	10 800	104 800
3-room apartment	60 000	34 320	36 000	14 000	144 320

The profitability and payback period are affected by the size of the initial investment in real estate, repairs, as well as distance from transport hubs. The payback period for apartments purchased with your own money is more than 10 years, and those taken on a mortgage are even longer. From a one-room apartment you can receive up to 96 thousand rubles per month.

Apartment options	Cost of the apartment, in rubles	Net income, in rubles	Income in %
Room	800 000	39 880	4,98%
1 room apartment	1 900 000	96 560	5,08%
2-room apartment	2 700 000	111 120	3,88%
3-room apartment	3 500 000	119 680	3,42%

Place matters

Tenants, and especially foreigners, are not interested in the historical location of the apartment, but in good transport links and the availability of the necessary services. If you don’t have the funds to buy an apartment in Moscow, then you can start buying an apartment in the Moscow region. The rental income from such an apartment will be 10-15% lower than in the capital, but 50% less money will be spent on purchasing the apartment.

The price of apartments and, accordingly, the cost of rent for housing located near metro stations and railway stations increase sharply. It is worth monitoring the construction of new metro lines and purchasing apartments there for rent. In Moscow, apartments in areas outside the Moscow Ring Road, where the metro arrives, are rising sharply in price. For example, in Mytishchi, the cost of purchasing and renting housing has increased by 30%.

Without losing, there will also be the option of purchasing housing in areas close to airports. At not so high costs, such apartments bring a stable income.

New building or secondary construction - what to choose?

When purchasing housing for subsequent rental, you need to consider two things: how long it will take to pay back the investment, and how much the housing will cost in the future. If you put the issue of return on funds to the fore, then you need to buy housing that is old.

Most of the offers on the apartment market are apartments of old construction. And the demand for them is quite high; renting an apartment at a lower price is more profitable than paying for renting an apartment. Although there is also a demand for them, some want to live in newly built houses and apartments filled with modern furniture and appliances.

Apartments in a new building are more expensive, so their payback period will be longer. But at the same time, rent in a new building will cost more. If an apartment is purchased on the primary market, it is recommended to buy it from a large developer who has experience in commercial development, as well as joint mortgage lending programs with state banks. The developer sells apartments in accordance with federal law FZ-214.

So, you have purchased an apartment and you have decided to renovate it. One of the main mistakes landlords make is to renovate an economy-class apartment with a business-class renovation. Believe me, tenants will not appreciate this, and you will spend quite a lot of money. Business class apartments are another matter; they must be equipped with expensive furniture and designer renovations must be carried out here.

Apartments for daily rent

Another type of income is renting out apartments on a daily basis. Such services are used by business travelers and tourists who do not want to overpay for hotels. The most in demand are middle class apartments, the cost per day ranges from 1.5-3.5 thousand rubles. The rental of this housing accounts for an average of 50%% of the total rental volume. The next most popular apartments are luxury apartments, the rental cost of which is 3.5-6.3 thousand rubles per month.

Of course, this business, like any other, has its negative aspects; the apartment may remain idle for some time. But during the autumn-spring period, and especially on holidays, middle-class real estate is 100% occupied, and the rental price on these days doubles.

What documents are needed to rent out an apartment?

After purchasing a home and carrying out renovation work, the apartment must be insured. We draw up a full insurance contract: we insure the walls, interior decoration, property located in the apartment, and, of course, civil liability (arson and fires due to the fault of the residents). For apartments that are rented out, an increased coefficient of 50% is applied. For example, for an apartment on the outskirts of the capital, valued at 7.5 million rubles, the insurance payment will be 15 thousand rubles.

If you rent out an apartment yourself, you must:

Obtain consent from all its owners and registered persons to rent out the apartment.
Place an ad and start looking for a tenant.
The agreement must be concluded for a period of 11 months, in which it is necessary to indicate:

all persons who will live in the apartment (make copies of all passports);
how rent will be paid monthly or quarterly;
who will pay utility bills (electricity, water, etc.);
rules for using electrical appliances;
when the landlord can visit the apartment, etc.

Those who appreciate time can contact a law firm to draw up a lease agreement; this service will cost you 2 thousand rubles.

Draw up an act of transferring the apartment, which indicates all the defects at the time of conclusion of the contract.
Write receipts in which the landlord indicates that he received the money, and the tenant that he received the keys.

If your housing is municipal, then the Moscow government requires you to register it with the State Unitary Enterprise. To do this, you need to contact the “Moscow City Center for Rental Housing”, here you need to bring: an application, the consent of all owners to rent out the apartment, an extract from the personal account or house register, a social tenancy agreement. The cost of the center staff service will cost you 1,600 rubles. After registration, the agreement will be registered with the State Unitary Enterprise.

So, in this article we tried to highlight all the pros and cons of renting out an apartment, which apartments are better to buy for rent, in which areas, we also indicated that this business is a long-term project and its payback occurs in a few years, but the project reliable and liquid, since no matter what the rent and rental demand are, you still have a liquid asset that you can use for your own purposes or sell it.

Daily rental of apartments is often more profitable than having permanent residents. But there are nuances regarding the registration and safety of property.

How to rent out an apartment daily in 2019? Renting an apartment for short periods can provide more income. But the benefits come with significant risks.

Care must be taken to preserve the property as well as comply with legal requirements. How to rent out an apartment daily in 2019?

General points

Daily apartment rentals differ from regular rentals. Firstly, frequent changes of tenants significantly increase the risk of damage to the apartment or individual items.

The likelihood of negative consequences is reduced if there is an official document and the possible nuances are spelled out in detail.

Secondly, the income from such rentals highly depends on the time of year, location and other factors.

If the apartment is located in a tourist area or a large city, then a good apartment can be rented almost daily.

The monthly income in this case is almost twice, or even more, than from long-term rent.

But the success of the event depends on the correct solution of organizational issues. How to rent out an apartment daily correctly?

What it is

When considering daily rental of an apartment, you need to understand the features of such rental. From a legal point of view, rental of residential real estate can be long-term or short-term.

These concepts are very similar to each other. So, any type of commercial hiring involves the participation of two parties - the employer and the lessor.

Legal relations between them are formalized by a written agreement. Only the direct owner or his has the right to rent out an apartment.

Long-term and short-term rentals differ in the amount of payments, payment methods and the “equipment” of the premises itself.

First of all, you need to take care of security issues. We are talking about the possibility of destruction or damage to the apartment in a fire, flood, gas explosion, etc.

It is clear that it is unlikely to be able to recover a large amount of damage from a temporary tenant. The solution is the design.

It may not be very cheap, but it will guarantee compensation for possible losses.

Another important point concerns less significant damage caused by damage or theft of property to the apartment.

But in this case, the landlord will be protected by a correctly drawn up contract indicating the passport details of the tenant and the apartment of all property.

The legislative framework

Daily rental of apartments is regulated by the provisions of the Civil and Tax Codes of the Russian Federation. In particular, daily rentals are regulated.

The concept of a residential lease agreement is discussed in. Namely, hiring is the transfer of residential premises for temporary use by a private person.

The determination of housing fees is discussed in. The parties independently negotiate the amount of payment.

Generally speaking, daily rentals must be formalized in an agreement that specifies the condition and appearance of the premises.

As for taxation, when renting apartments on a daily basis, the rules on collecting tax on the income received by individuals are applied.

The landlord is obliged to rent out and pay 13% of the profit on a monthly or annual basis.

How to rent out an apartment for daily rent

Since short-term rentals involve renting out housing for up to 11 months, the owner can legally rent out the apartment for a few days or hours.

The main thing to consider is the classification of activities as taxable. The procedure for paying tax depends on the status of the lessor.

The Federal Tax Service provides three methods:

individual entrepreneur registration;
acquisition of a patent;
personal income tax payment.

If daily rental is put on stream and is a full-fledged business, then it is more advisable to become an individual entrepreneur with the object of taxation being “income”.

In this case, the tax amount will be only 6%. Additionally, you will have to pay mandatory insurance premiums (in 2019, 27,990 rubles in total).

You can work under a patent. The tax amount consists of the cost of the patent itself (6% of income) and half of the insurance premiums.

If you do not register as an individual entrepreneur and do not acquire a patent, you will have to pay 13% of the profit. Moreover, at the end of the year it is necessary to submit a reporting declaration.

In the case where an apartment is rented out without paying taxes, the owner of the property is punished with significant fines.

In some cases, criminal penalties are possible - imprisonment for a period of six months (the amount of unpaid taxes is 100,000-500,000 rubles) or up to three years (non-payment of taxes in the amount of 500,000 rubles and more).

Having dealt with tax issues, you can move on to the direct organization of daily rentals.

We need to start by ensuring acceptable conditions. For housing rented daily, it is necessary to create conditions no worse than in a hotel.

This means the availability of necessary furniture and household appliances, good repairs, regular cleaning, etc.

How to find a tenant

Many people associate searching for a tenant with people standing with posters about daily rentals at train stations and similar places. But modern methods look simpler.

For short-term rentals, advertisements in local media will be of little use, since most potential tenants are out-of-towners.

The most optimal solution is to use online platforms. Most often, offers are posted on sites such as Avito, IRR (“From Hand to Hand”).

Posting here is free, but you can use paid functions to raise your ad to the TOP.

The disadvantage of these resources is the lack of limited specialization. The ad may simply get lost among the others.

There are specialized real estate portals that also offer free and paid placement services. These are “Kvartirka.ru”, “Sdaminfo.ru”, “Sutochno.ru”, “Yurenta.ru”, “Gorkvartira.ru”.

The “young” site Arendius is attractive for publishing advertisements. There is a rating and review system here.

In addition, apartment owners can learn more about a potential tenant, since registration on the site is carried out through social networks.

Video: how to rent out an apartment

Well, don’t forget about such “old-time” methods as “word of mouth” radio and paper advertisements in busy places in a populated area.

Ideally, all possible options should be explored. This will allow you to regularly receive clients and the apartment will not be empty.

Formation of a package of documents

Once the issue of attracting clients is resolved, it is time to take care of the documentary support of the transaction. A short-term rental agreement must be concluded with each tenant.

The security deposit amount is indicated as a separate item. Many landlords refuse, for fear of scaring off clients. But this is one of the best guarantees possible for the preservation of property.

The tenant will not want to lose his funds (deposit), which means he will treat the property with care. In case of damage, losses, or at least part of them, can be compensated.

To complete the contract you will need:

passports of the parties;
title document for the apartment (certifies the competence of the landlord);
, if another person acts on behalf of the owner.

In addition to the contract, an act of acceptance and transfer of the apartment must be drawn up. Moreover, this document is drawn up at the time of handing over the keys to the tenant and when leaving the apartment.

All documents should be prepared in two copies, for the landlord and the tenant.

It is advisable to prepare document templates in advance, into which the necessary data will subsequently be entered.

Drawing up a lease agreement

The short-term apartment rental agreement includes the following clauses:

personal data of the parties (full name, passport data);
description of the subject of the transaction (address, description);
essence of the transaction (rent);
rental duration;
cost per day;
total cost;
procedure for transferring an apartment (according to the acceptance certificate);
rights and obligations of the parties;
liability for violation of the terms of the contract;
the amount of collateral (if any) and the procedure for its use;
date of conclusion and signatures of the parties.

Responsibility of the parties

The provision regarding the tenant's responsibility should be specified in particular detail in the contract. The tenant is obliged to return the apartment in the same condition as he received it.

If, based on them, damage to property is revealed, the tenant is obliged to compensate for losses.

If there is a deposit, the landlord can retain it as compensation or part thereof in case of serious damage. But compensation for damages can also be demanded through the court.

The main evidence in this case is acts with an inventory of property “before” and “after”, as well as an agreement indicating the existence of legal relations.

The owner of the apartment is obliged to provide the tenant with an apartment in the condition specified in the description of the property. The possibility of residence for the agreed period must also be ensured.

Procedure for terminating the transaction

The conditions and grounds for termination of the transaction must be specified in the rental agreement. At his own request, the lessor has the right to terminate the contract if there is

Owners of vacant real estate often consider a daily apartment rental business. In this area, it is important not only to find a unique way to attract clients, but also to take care of the legal features that will ensure the legality of the activity and preserve the property.

Renting out an apartment for daily rent is a very profitable business. There may be two options for implementing the proposal:

Renting out the full area of the apartment;
Partial rental (for example, in a two-room apartment, only one room will be rented, and the second one will be locked).

In practice, the following types of proposals exist:

Directly from the owner of the property (the apartment belongs to the person who sells it for business);
Sublease (the person offering daily rental is itself its tenant and in this way pays off rental obligations in full or in part).

It is important to take into account the fact that when subleasing, permission from the owner of the property is required, since the circle of responsible persons increases and, in the event of a controversial situation, it becomes more difficult to find the culprit.

The amount of income for daily rentals directly depends on the location of the property. The most profitable options are:

Apartments located near resort areas;
In areas with a large number of students (“student towns”, near universities, colleges);
Apartments in big cities (the constant flow of tourists and city guests creates a need for comfortable housing that will provide home comfort).

Pros and cons of renting an apartment daily

Advantages of daily housing rental:

The income received is higher than when renting for a long time;
Good demand for supply;
No need to hire staff;
The business can be suspended at any time, at the request of the owner.

Disadvantages of the daily apartment rental business:

In order for housing maintenance costs to be covered and a net profit to remain, the apartment must be located in an active part of the city;
Options with good repairs and the full amount of necessary equipment, furniture and other things are more in demand (this requires significant investment);
Thorough cleaning is required after each guest;
There may be advertising costs to maintain the flow of customers;
There is a high probability of encountering scammers or robbers.

Step-by-step instructions for renting housing

Conduct an analysis of similar offers on the market (read information on the Internet, print media, or call real estate agencies and find out the average price);
Determine the optimal cost per day (it will be based on the general condition of the housing and the area in which it is located);
Prepare the apartment for rent (if possible, carry out repairs, equip it with appliances, kitchen utensils, textiles);
Submit an advertisement or seek help from a realtor;
Prepare a lease agreement;

Business income and expenses

Renting out an apartment on a daily basis brings not only profit, which is generated by receiving rental payments, but also entails some costs. These include:

Business legalization and taxation

Any activity that generates periodic income must be registered or reflected in the declaration in order for state taxation to be formed correctly.

At the legislative level, in relation to daily rentals, there are several ways to legally conduct business:

Registration in the form of an individual entrepreneur;
Registration of a patent;
Carrying out activities without registration and submitting personal income tax reports.

When assigning the status of an individual entrepreneur, there is an obvious advantage - a simplified taxation system. The Tax Code sets a rate of 6% of the amount of annual income, and the amount of insurance premiums is also subject to payment.

To register as an individual entrepreneur you must:

When choosing a patent, taxation is carried out as follows:

The cost of the patent is payable (patent costs = potential profit * 0.6%);
An amount equal to 50% of the insurance premiums is paid.

If there is no question of registration, then the tax is payable as personal income tax. In this case, it is important to consider the following points:

A tax of 13% of the total profit is subject to annual payment;
Reporting is submitted according to Form 3 Personal Income Tax (by April 30);
It is likely that the tax rate will increase for entities whose income exceeds 30 thousand rubles.

Responsibility for shadow business

Most tenants prefer to shelter such businesses from paying taxes. Today, representatives of the tax service have organized activities to identify such tenants. Information may come from:

from disgruntled neighbors on the landing;
through personal actions of tax officials (renting housing under the guise of a tourist or city guest);
message from other government bodies and officials (according to the district police officer who arrived at the apartment after the tenants violated the order of silence).

If tax evasion is discovered, the lessor will be held liable in the form of a fine and a requirement to conduct tax reporting. Failure to comply with these sanctions or periodic violation of the rules may result in criminal prosecution.

As an appendix to the contract, you can draw up an inventory of all the property located in the apartment, indicating its value. Before the tenant begins to live in the apartment, he can be given a transfer and acceptance certificate for signing, by signing which he will indicate his consent to the presence of all the agreed upon property in the apartment, agreement to its approximate value and condition.

Basics of a successful rental business

The market for daily rental housing is literally overcrowded, which can affect consumer demand. To quickly achieve net profit and form a permanent customer base, you need to show entrepreneurial spirit and activity, and also take into account some tips:

There are several ways to find potential clients. Among them:

Seeking help from a realtor;

Transfer of real estate into trust management of a real estate agency;

Renting an apartment daily as a business is very profitable and quite simple to organize. To attract maximum profit, it is necessary to create living conditions in the apartment that are comfortable and profitable for the client. For regular visitors, they often use a system of discounts or flexible payment for services.

When checking in, each new guest must comply with the legal formalities associated with formalizing the relationship through an agreement. In addition to the essential conditions, the agreement should indicate the client’s possible costs for damage to property.
