Is it possible to rent an apartment before entering into inheritance

It is allowed to officially inherit no earlier than 6 months after the death of the owner of the property. It should be borne in mind that this period may be extended for another six months if property claims arise from the heirs of subsequent queues during the paperwork process. According to the law, the actual acceptance of the inheritance is confirmed by documents on payment of bills, taxes and repairs in the apartment. But, before registration of ownership and receipt of an inheritance certificate, the heir cannot dispose of this housing at his discretion.

However, in the case of renting, everything is not so clear. For example, a citizen who has confirmed the actual acceptance of an inheritance by a notary is not directly restricted by law if he is going to rent an apartment. He may well find a loyal tenant and, with the support of a lawyer, competently draw up a contract that takes into account possible nuances and risks. Of course, this rental option assumes a high degree of trust between the parties and is not suitable for everyone. Therefore, professionals recommend that you strictly follow the rules prescribed in the law, which allow transactions only with legitimate property owners.
