I have written a tutorial about how to rent an apartment in Israel. If you are a landlord or potential tenant, I would advise you to sign a contract using the services of a competent lawyer who is experienced in real estate law. The tutorial is a guideline to give you an understanding about the ins and outs of renting in Israel. Every agreement is different  and in these times of  economic uncertainty, landlords may become stricter in their demands for finding a responsible tenant who will look after the property, pay on time and leave at the end of the agreed contract.



Bad tenants can influence landlords to opt out from renting their properties altogether or make them demand more guarantees before agreeing to sign a contract. In difficult economic times renting may be the only viable choice for many who need a home. Be responsible! Pay your rent on time! Take good care of the property you are renting! Leave on time and make sure that you leave the property clean and  tidy! Don't ruin it for others!
