Long-term renting does not require blind trust: it requires a contract done right from the start. This page is general information, not legal advice. For your case, talk to a lawyer.
Elements that usually matter
- Identify the tenant and authorized occupants.
- Deposit (often one month’s rent) and, when appropriate, a guarantor if rent is not paid.
- Notarized signatures for long-term residential leases, following recommended practice in Chile.
A clear contract protects both sides.
Non-payment and recovery
Since Law 21.461, rent collection and recovery can follow a faster procedure when the contract is properly prepared.
Three meanings of “occupancy”
See the glossary for inhabited vs empty home, booked nights in tourism, and unlawful occupancy.
