Hollywood-Worthy Apartment Rental Story in Kaunas: Police, STI, Landlord, Tenant – Everyone’s Hands Tied | 15MAX



[ad_1]

Everyone just refuses to believe it is true. As you browse this story, 15 minutes the journalist spoke to up to ten interlocutors, and all claimed not to understand such a plot: it is simply impossible to believe.

But the stories of the participants in the story, the authentic documents, the data available to the police, the Tax Inspectorate, the debt collection company and other facts show that there is everything in life.

Ismail Akhundov, who introduces himself as a real estate broker in Kaunas, could perhaps help unravel at least some of the secrets in this vague and almost mystical story. But the young man will not speak in this context.

By the way, you can contact him as in a Harry Potter story or similar; you need to know certain spells. In this case, the author of these lines was helped by the following methodology: Ernesta Grigaitytė had to be entered in the Google search box (these keywords were requested by Google, but about that, a little later).

Therefore, the search results on the portal Aruodas.lt It shows the advertisements managed by the broker E. Grigaitytė and the telephone number with which the aforementioned Ismail Achundov answers or will soon call him back.

After hearing that he was speaking to a journalist asking for a comment on the incredible situation of Ona P. from Kaunas, the interlocutor simply hung up.

Maybe the connection was just lost?

“It just came to our notice then. There is nothing to tell us. Good morning,” I. Akhundov wished politely, hurrying to hang up again.

Well, let’s not be desperately intrusive and go back to the almost fantastic story of renting Ona P. and her house (more precisely, not her house).

For two seniors, two households, too

Ms. Ona, 67, is a lonely retiree with an elderly friend who also lived alone and lost her job in old age. Well-accepted older people unconsciously became a couple: the man moved in with the woman, so the house that belonged to his partner remained empty.

Intermediaries generally emphasize this: they have a good understanding of applicable procedures, which helps clients avoid mistakes and losses.

Kaunas residents, who received small pensions and did not easily have two apartments, thought it would be practical to rent a vacant house. One day, the couple found a flyer in their mailbox, in which I. Akhundov had just offered a real estate brokerage service. By the way, intermediaries in various fields, when offering their paid assistance, usually emphasize this: that they are well acquainted with the applicable procedures, they help to avoid various errors, cheating and losses. In other words, people who enter with experience and knowledge in the field are rewarded for saving time, money, nerves and health. But not in this case.

Made a good first impression

How 15 minutes told Ona P., her first meeting with a real estate broker left the best possible impression on her. The bright clothing, exotic features, clean Lithuanian language, youthful energy and professional communication on the matter left Kaunas residents no doubt: they found the helper they needed.

It is true that now there is an obvious nuance: during the initial meeting, there was no senior in the house, the real owner of the apartment he wanted to rent. Ona P. did not have a power of attorney or other reasons to manage real estate affairs on behalf of the owner. However, it was their data (passers-by) that the broker requested, who promised to return not only with the housing lease documents already prepared, but also with a large client. I. Akhundov kept both of these promises (in fact, the tenant he brought in has been successfully living in the one-room apartment of a Kaunas resident for about 1.5 years).

“As long as I can remember, Ismail got back to the client very quickly, maybe in a day or two.” 15 minutes Interlocutor Ona said she understood that this task was not very difficult for the real estate broker, it did not cost him a lot of time, effort and other resources. This circumstance will be important when discussing the remuneration due to I. Akhundov.

The details of the prospective tenant and Ona P. as the landlord were included in the typical home lease agreement prepared by the real estate expert. The true owner of this property is nowhere to be found. The man was required to be documented as part of the contract, but no one cared. Thus, an important legal situation that involved 4 people had the following consequences:

Understand instantly

  • 1. The broker has submitted an incorrectly prepared contract for signature;
  • 2. The tenant did not sign the lease with the owner of the apartment, but with a stranger, in a legal sense, a person who was not present and was responsible for nothing.
  • 3. The final beneficiary of the house that had to assume the obligations and rights under this contract was left aside.
  • 4. Ona P. became the fictitious owner of a stranger’s apartment.

“That contract, so to speak, is simple, it is null and void,” he said. 15 minutes said Audrius Gudanavičius, president of the Lithuanian Association of Real Estate Agencies (LNTAA).

This agreement, let’s call it clearly, is void, said the director of the Association of Lithuanian Real Estate Agencies.

By the way, a journalistic consultation with a true professional in the field, which could last a few minutes, lasted a full academic hour. Because, as mentioned, this interlocutor simply could not believe the story the journalist told him.

“It seems to me that … I am not introducing logic, a kind of absurd scenario. I don’t understand how a capable person can perform such actions. For me, there is a kind of absurd situation here. Or there is something else about him that we don’t know” He found the words harsh, did not hide his surprises and tried to find at least some more logical explanation for the confusion. 15 minutes interlocutor.
