Repair in a rented apartment: to be or not to be?
According to realtors, recently significantly increased the number of apartments offered in rent. But while many of those apartments are in a frankly poor condition.
It would seem reasonable to make the owners of apartments, at least superficially, redecoration. This will give the opportunity to sit flat almost from the first show, and most importantly, significantly raise the rental rate.
Tom that apartment that must be submitted out, it became more, there are several reasons. Financial difficulties forced the surrender unoccupied apartments of those who were uncomfortable the idea that in native walls settle outsiders. Many nonresident tenants due to reduced wages and cuts in state stopped storming cities and retreated to the "small homeland. " In addition, some purchased at one time "investment" apartments, which are not their customers against the backdrop of stagnating prices, also joined the market employment.
Experts say that before the crisis, many owners are really serious invested in the repair of actively changed their appliances. Today as most of the apartments is in poor condition because they simply do not make sense to repair: the cost will pay off for too long.
first tenants such apartments simultaneously enlisted the owner's permission to make cosmetic repairs at its own expense. The logic of their actions is clear: removing the inferior Housing and thoroughly updating it, they get acceptable living conditions for low wages. Especially lucky, if the landlord agreed to withdraw or even discard the old furniture - so soon the apartment was not to know.
But how such a concept is beneficial to the parties to lease? Known many cases, when markedly improved the condition of the apartment, a tenant in a year was forced to get out back home: the owner of a sudden there were justifiable and urgent reasons not to renew the expired lease. Clearly, then he handed over an updated apartment to someone else's expense at an increased price.
If you do decide to do repair in a rented apartment, follow these rules:
* Perform finishing flat, given that you would be better if you can pick up most items with you when you move. Work on the walls, hanging ceilings, raised floors do not make sense: too costly and wasteful to their conduct. Generally for repairs in rented apartments use the principle of equipment rooms to various equipment and comfortable furniture.
* Design unique solutions in the repair of the rented apartment can be an ideal way out. Thanks to the imagination and wit, even the most Standard unpretentious walls can be ennobling, so that it will look better than an exclusive interior. Examples of such solutions are often found in bars or a cafe, where even the inconspicuous brick wall, as it is stylized original interior.
* Often, a landlord is not satisfied, if the appearance room change, which becomes an additional challenge. In this case, you can again use the services of an architect, who with the help of decorating quickly and easily help you transform an ordinary room into a unique and stylish room, without implementing construction works.
try to figure out how cost-effective today to make cosmetic repairs typical apartment, if the furniture, which it is furnished, is in good condition. How quickly it will pay off? As an example, to calculate the cost of the work we take a typical one-room apartment with total area of \u200b\u200b39 square feet (19 m room and eight-kitchen). This is the average studio apartment is economy class.
cost of repair room, kitchen and hallway in an apartment so the area under the wrench would cost a minimum of 80-100 thousand. Plus about 25-30 thousand rubles will be the price of finishing materials. For this money will be replaced wallpaper, updated ceilings, the kitchen will be made tiled apron along one wall, the floor is laid on the selection of linoleum, laminate and even as a bonus - a tile.
The rooms can be put linoleum or laminate as well: charges for laying of any such coverage will be the same. Of course, the cost of materials is given on the basis of purchasing the most inexpensive, although quite decent. Installation of new doors in the concept of "cosmetic repair" is not included. Finishing bath turnkey tiles replacement of plumbing and piping, installation of suspended ceilings will be about 40,000 rubles, while the material will take about 15 thousand rubles. Repair toilet "in the tile" - 10 thousand rubles, plus 7,5 thousand rubles - building materials. Repair time without finishing the bathroom and toilet facilities will take approximately 18-20 days. If necessary repair bathroom and toilet rooms, and he will be about a month.
Thus, the cost of redecorating one-bedroom apartments will average 105-130 thousand rubles (without refreshing bath and toilet rooms). If they finish is required, the repair-room apartment will cost an average of thousands 177,5-202,5 rubles.
assume that the cost of paying utility bills the landlord is not at all, but this is entirely the duty of tenants: a practice today common. Then the payback cost of repair of apartments will be about 26 months (just over two years) in the case of repairs santehkomnat not needed and a little more than three and a half years, when their repair is needed.
What is the conclusion? Venturing apartment renovation , which in the current state of demand the tenants, of course, you can. But the landlord must arrange that spent the most economic budget money back only after two or three year. Repair of bathroom and toilet room, buying furniture and household appliances even more pushed the payback period. But after this update, the apartment will be bringing stability to a third more than the apartment where the repairs had not yet been made. Of course, on condition that it would be neat to live renters. It only remains how to think about which option you prefer.
