Good day from down under !

I am looking at visiting Greece in 2/3 years time and may be renting a house/apartment there,

I see that speakerchalet98 is hiring a lawyer, is it necessary when you just want to rent ?

I am opening a new subject about rental laws in Greece LOL

@rogergarinmichaud I am in the process of buying, so wanted to be 100%. Advantage is they deal with all the Greek paperwork and bureaucracy. If you were taking on a long term rental, might not be a bad idea, but closer to the time. New rules, especially around short term rentals, are being discussed currently.

Thanks for your kind reply... hopefully the new laws being discussed will be favorable to renters, as they have recently in Victoria (Australia)

Why not "equitable for both parties"?聽 There are certainly some pretty shocking landlords in every country, but the behaviour of some tenants is equally appalling!
