üürilevõtja

üürilevõtja is an Estonian term that translates to "tenant" or "lessee" in English. It refers to a person or entity that enters into a rental agreement for property. This property can be residential, commercial, or industrial, and the agreement typically outlines the terms of use, rent payment, and duration of the lease.

The üürilevõtja has specific rights and obligations defined by Estonian rental law and the rental contract itself. Key responsibilities usually include paying rent on time, maintaining the property in good condition, and adhering to any rules or regulations set by the landlord. In return, the üürilevõtja is entitled to the peaceful enjoyment of the property and protection against arbitrary eviction.

The landlord, or üürileandja, has corresponding duties, such as ensuring the property is habitable and making necessary repairs. The rental agreement, or üürileping, is the central document governing the relationship between the üürilevõtja and üürileandja. It is crucial for both parties to understand the terms of this contract to avoid disputes. Estonian law provides a framework for resolving rental disagreements, often through mediation or, if necessary, court proceedings. The concept of üürilevõtja is fundamental to the functioning of the rental market in Estonia.
