賃貸物件の借り方説明:各種書類

賃貸契約書 (RESIDENTIAL LEASE)

賃貸契約書はOFFICE MAXや、OFFICE DEPOTといった文房具店でも販売されている市販のものを使用するのが殆どです。ですから、大家さんとの間に追加事項や、変更などがある場合は必ず追記(LEASE RIDER)するようにしましょう。 法的には、追記、変更を書きこんだらお互いのイニシャルを入れなくてはなりません。後で問題にならないように、署名する前に弁護士に見てもらう事をお薦めします。

Term of Lease (契約期間):

通常は1年契約を結びます。2年以上の長期契約のメリットは家賃の大幅な値上げを抑えられる事です。最近シカゴ郊外の不動産は値上がりが続いているので、毎年家賃の値上がりがある事が確実なので、長期契約のメリットはあります。長期契約のディメリットは途中解約に伴うリスクですが、残り期間全ての家賃を支払わなくて済むように何らかの「TRANSFER CLAUSE」を契約書に書く必要があります。一般的なのは60〜90日の通知をする事によって、最小限の罰金を払って解約するCLAUSEです。

Rent (家賃):

家賃の支払いは毎月前払いする必要があります。UTILITY(電気、ガス、水道)は通常RENTに含まれませんが、アソシエーション・フィーがカバーしている場合もあるので、要チェック。町によってはゴミ収集などを別途追徴される場合があり、これらも家賃に含まれない場合が多いです。

Security Deposit (保証金):

契約時に大家さんはRENTの1ヶ月から1.5ヶ月分の保証金を徴収します。この保証金はレンタルの際に一番問題になりやすいことなので、詳しく大家に保証金の説明を求めましょう。通常、テナントがリースを解約した後でUTILITY(電気、ガス、水道)や、ケーブルテレビ、電話などの最終支払いが完了したのを確認してから、テナントに返却されます。解約時にカーペットや壁の汚れなどを補修する代金を差し引かれる事もありますので、綺麗に使いましょう。保証金には利息が付きません。

Condition of Premises (物件の状態):

保証金の項でも述べましたが、解約時に破損が発覚した分を保証金から引かれる事があります。その為、はじめから破損している個所については細かく調べ、大家に修理を要求するか、賃貸契約書にそれが入居前から破損していた事を書いておく必要があります。

Repair (修繕):

物件をレンタル中に問題が生じた場合、自然な消耗による破損の場合は大家が負担するのが通常です。例えば冷蔵庫が壊れたとか、乾燥機の乾きが悪いなどは大家さんの責任です。電球などの簡単な修理ぐらいは自分で交換(修理)し、請求書を大家に送っても良いでしょう。しかし、テナントが故意、もしくは過失によっておこした破損はテナントの責任である。大抵の場合一定の金額($50〜$100)まではテナントが修理費用を支払い、それ以上は大家が持つというCLAUSEを追記します。大家に無断での改装厳禁です。

Use; Sublet; Assignment (使用、転貸、譲渡):

基本的に住宅を家族が居住以外の目的で使用する事は禁じられています。例えばビジネスに使用したり、旅館のような形で使用したりする事も不可です。また、大家に無断でサブリース(転貸)する事も禁じられています。ペットの飼育を禁じているものや、連続しての長期不在(10日間など)を禁じている場合も多いです。これらの決まりは物件が荒れるのを保護する事が目的なので、長期出張や、一時帰国の際には疑われないように一言大家に声を掛けておくのが賢明です。

Right to Relet (再貸し出しの権利):

契約期間中に突然の帰国や、転勤などで、やむなく解約をしなくてはならなくなった場合、特別な取り決めがされていなければ大家が新しいテナントを見つけるまでの間のレントを元のテナントが負担しなくてはならない事になっています。これに伴うトラブルを回避する為にはTRANSFER CLAUSE(転勤条項)を契約書に加え、60日から90日前に大家に通達する事で契約を解除出来るようにネゴシエーションしましょう。それでも最低限の罰則金は覚悟しましょう。

Holding Over (契約延長):

特別な契約更新を行わずに無断でテナントが居座りつづけた場合、大家はレントを上げても良い事になっています。したがって、契約を延長したい場合には契約が終了する前に、大家にその旨を伝え、新規契約を再度行う必要があります。これも1年ごとが普通ですが、ネゴ次第で、短くする事も長くする事も可能です。

Lease Rider(追記):

LEASE AGREEMENTに入りきらなかった事などを追記してあります。テナントにも追記する権利はありますので、追記が必要であれば、弁護士に見てもらいましょう。通常、家賃の支払い期日や、遅延した場合の罰金などについて書いてあります。
