The issue of renting a cottage must be approached thoroughly, especially if you plan to rent it for the New Year. A number of conditions should be taken into account before concluding an agreement with the owner of a country house.
Instructions
Step 1
Select several suitable rental options from advertisements in local newspapers and on the internet. Keep in mind that on New Year's Eve, the price for renting even the most unpresentable homes rises sharply. Therefore, do not be surprised at the proposed rates if you decide to rent a cottage literally on the eve of a holiday. Contact the home owner or real estate agency.
Step 2
The best option is to rent a cottage within a radius of 50 kilometers from the city. This will allow you to quickly get to the rented house, spending only an hour and a half on the road. In this case, it is worth considering the condition of the access roads. If, due to heavy snowfalls, the road to the cottage did not have time to be properly cleared, it is better to be away from this option.
Step 3
Examine the cottage. Check the work of all communications declared in the ad (including, if necessary, cable TV and the Internet). Pay attention to the cleanliness of the kitchen and bedrooms, as you will have to cook and relax here. You may need a spacious garage or parking lot, so be sure to check them out as well. It is best to choose a house that has been built relatively recently. Despite the fact that in this case the rent will cost you more, you will be to some extent insured against accidents.
Step 4
If everything suits you, discuss with the owner of the house or realtor all the conditions of your stay in the cottage for the New Year. It is possible that your holiday scenario will not suit him, and then you will either have to look for another option for rent, or take into account all the wishes of the owner and strictly follow them so that later there will be no problems.
Step 5
You can conclude a short-term lease agreement in a notary order, or, if you decide to act through an agency, in the office of a realtor. For this you only need a passport and money.
