Moving into a new rental apartment is usually a time that involves a lot of effort on the part of the tenant due to the moving process and often also a certain degree of uncertainty about the new living circumstances. The landlord also hopes to have made a good choice as regards his new tenant. To pave the way for a pleasant tenancy for both parties, it is important to recognise the respective rights and obligations and to lay them down in the rental contract.
Smart city: an elegant and catchy expression, which nevertheless has a not inconsiderable polarising potential. Below, we try to explain why. With the arrival of the new millennium, the English term 'smart' has become widely used in areas such as business, politics and even building design. Translated as 'smart, talented, effective', the word has a decidedly positive connotation, thus drawing more and more attention to itself. Initially, the concept mostly indicated a way of reacting to the social challenges of the time. These included managing the financial crisis, demographic change, ecology, environmental protection and resource recovery.

Selling your home can be a long and complex process, especially if you are not prepared for an undertaking of this magnitude. One of the first steps to take, therefore, is to engage the services of a qualified real estate agent. Equally crucial is to organise your property in good time in terms of the necessary documentation, finding relevant information and, more specifically, minor repairs. Here, then, are the main aspects to consider when preparing your home for sale.
When executing a notarial deed for the purchase and sale of real estate, it is mandatory to have the "Cadastral Compliance" certificate; otherwise, the deed will be annulled. This obligation is established by Legislative Decree 78/2010 in our legal system and is not merely an additional bureaucratic requirement but rather a protection tool for the buyer.
Real estate is often the largest possession we have. Therefore, when it comes to selling the house we live in or a flat we own, it is virtually impossible not to consider memories that bind us to them. The decision to sell one's home is therefore complex, can often give rise to doubts and certainly has a whole series of issues to deal with. So what are the aspects to consider when selling a house? What is the right time to sell? How much is my property worth? How should the transfer of ownership be organised? What are the costs involved? These are just some of the questions you will face when selling. Related to these are some frequent mistakes, which are made especially when selling privately and without the competent support of an appraiser or estate agent.
Becoming a real estate agent in Italy is an exciting and dynamic career choice, offering the opportunity to work in an ever-evolving industry. If you have a passion for properties, contracts, and interpersonal relationships, this profession might be the right fit for you. In this article, we will guide you through the essential steps to embark on this career in 2025.
