This section focuses on the rental property itself, from confirming the provided furniture and devices to conducting a proper handover.
Confirming Furniture and Devices
- Legal Reminder: There is no mandatory requirement under Taiwan laws that any devices, appliances, or furniture shall be provided when renting a home. It is legal to lease a home unfurnished.
- Preparation: Prepare a list of devices and furniture that you require to speed up the process of finding a rental house that matches your expectations.
Checking the Advertisement Against Reality
- Keep the Advertisement: Take a screenshot, print, or take photos of the advertisement content you found on the rental website and keep it for verification when viewing the home.
- When Advertisement Information is Different from the Home:
- Method A: You may request the Lessor to provide the missing items in accordance with the rental advertisement.
- Method B: You may request the Lessor to lower the rent.
Make a Clear Handover
- Procedure: Before renting or upon termination of the lease, check the brand, size, and condition of each device provided by the Lessor. Record the information item by item on a list, and take photos or videos of each item.
- Use a List: Create a list that details the brand, quantity, and moving-in/moving-out status of all items.
Responsibility for Repairs
- Reminder: If the Lessor provides any devices, appliances, or furniture, it shall be stated in the lease agreement that the Lessor will be responsible for repairs and maintenance.
