You found hidden defects after moving in

Damp behind a wardrobe, a boiler that never really worked, mould under fresh paint: defects that were there before you arrived are not yours to inherit. The landlord's duty is to keep the home fit for its use, and the argument turns on when the defect appeared and when it was reported. That is why photographs and a dated written notice are worth more than any later account of events.

Frequently asked questions

Can NakonRent help review Hidden defects in rental apartment?

It can prepare a structured reading, checklist and action text. It does not replace the official authority or a lawyer.

Why not always publish exact amounts?

Because benefits, discounts and tariffs change. Amounts are published only when there is a current source and clear date.

Can I use it before signing?

Yes. That is the main use: detecting risks before handing over checks, deposit or guarantees.
