In general, the amount of rent is set freely and charges may be requested for the maintenance of the premises.
As a landlord, the law allows you to ask the tenant for a security deposit that is equal to one month's rent.
At the signing of the contract, the owner is obliged to give the technical diagnoses to the tenant.
