long-term reservations

Good afternoon,

i would like to ask help for a reservation.

 

There is a visitor that want to stay in my home for a long period (~ 6 months)

The visitor need to know if it's possible to pay month by month and how 

also asked me if i make a responsible application for the TIN (i can't understand what it is).

 

Thanks in advance for any help

The TIN is the Taxpayer Identification Number, also called an AFM in Greece.  So you as the owner shook have that.  I don't know why the renter should want or need it.

 

I don't know the laws in Greece, but in most states within the USA a renter whose lease is more than, say 28 or so days gains important 'tenant's rights.'  These can be very onerous on the landlord.  I don't know if long-term tenants in Greece gain substantial rights but I bet they do.

 

You would really want the guest to sign a written lease. A written and signed lease is really a MUST for you. You must state in your rules on your Airbnb listing that a separate signed written lease is a requirement for any rental exceeding x days.   I would suggest that you also state in your rules on Airbnb that you would require the satisfactory passing of a background check and a security deposit of $X or y number of months.  It's possible -- I don't know -- that a specific tax or 'stamp' tax applies to the lease, and the question is who pays it.

 

You really need to talk to a lawyer about ALL the issues involved before you accept any arrangement that would give the guest the rights of a tenant. Obviously you will incur expenses from the lawyer and if the lease does not go through, then you will not have income to immediately offset the expense (but you'll be prepared for next time).

 

One possibility, if the guest is open to it, is that you sign a one month lease, paid through Airbnb.  Then after one month each you and the guest can consider whether they wish to continue.  You could then do that directly with the guest and by that time you will have a greater comfort level with the guest, and the guest with you and the property.  That addresses the guest's desire to pay month by month.

 

PLEASE get that lawyer. If You have to evict a tenant it could take a long while, during which you are not paid.

thnks for ur reply was very helpful,

as made more clear with the renter , this person need to take a Greek TIN because as said is important for his own  student visa (he is going to take a bachelor degree in Greek university).

 

Do you know if there is α procedure in airbnb to pay the renter month by month and not all the amount at the starting of the staying ?

Καλησπέρα σας,
Δεν ξέρω αν εχετε λύσει το θέμα σας,αλλά θα ηθελα να σας πω τα παρακάτω:
-Κανένας αλλοδαπός δεν μπορεί να παραμείνει στην Ελλάδα σαν τουρίστας, παραπάνω από 90ημέρες. 
- ο δικός σας επισκέπτης θέλει να βγάλει ελληνικό ΑΦΜ για να μπορέσει να μείνει παραπάνω από 3 μηνες και να μπορέσει να κάνει μισθωτήριο συμβόλαιο μαζί σας (για 6 μήνες).
-η Airbnb εγγυάται τη πληρωμή μονο του 1ου μήνα και ετσι σας πληρώνει: κάθε μήνα(εαν η κάρτα του επισκέπτη εχεί χρήματα).Δλδ δεν τον χρεώνει εξ'αρχής ,αλλά στην αρχή του κάθε μήνα μίσθωσης.
Υπάρχει και ελληνική σελίδα εδώ, στη κοινότητα, με πολλά πόστ , που μπορείτε να τη βρέιτε, αν γράψετε στην αναζήτηση "διαδικασία ενοικίασης στην Ελλάδα".
Ελπίζω να σας φανήκαν χρήσιμα!

Also, find out about the 'three year rule' in Greece leases.  On the one hand it is stated that the landlord and tenant are bound for three years, but on the other it says leases can be shorter than three years.  That is unclear to me.
