arendator

Arendator is a person or legal entity that rents out real estate or other assets to a lessee under a lease agreement. The arendator provides the asset for use in exchange for rent and usually retains ownership or controlling rights while the asset is leased. In residential contexts, arendator may be the property owner, a property management company, or a housing association. In commercial settings, it can be a building owner or a landlord of office, retail, or industrial space, or a specialized equipment provider for leasing.

A lease agreement specifies the terms: rent amount and payment schedule, lease duration, deposits or guarantees, permitted uses, responsibilities for maintenance and repairs, rules on subletting, and procedures for renewal or termination. The arendator typically bears responsibility for major structural repairs and compliance with safety and housing standards, while the lessee handles day-to-day upkeep and ordinary wear and tear, unless otherwise agreed.

Regulation varies by jurisdiction but generally includes laws on tenancy, payment of security deposits, privacy and entry rights, eviction procedures, and, in some places, rent control. Arendators must avoid discrimination and ensure safe, habitable premises.

Key considerations for arendators include setting competitive rents, screening tenants, managing vacancies, and maintaining property to preserve value. In legal terms, arendator is often translated as landlord or lessor, depending on jurisdiction.
