Bulgaria

The process of renting Latvian real estate ('renting' as in 'paying money to the owner of a property in exchange for the right of use', not renting out your own property) overlaps with the process of buying, but is generally not as complicated. The question of finding a property remains exactly the same - please refer to the previous chapter.

What differs are the documents needed. When renting a piece of real property, no matter its type - residential, commercial or industrial - a renting contract (īres līgums or nomas līgums in Latvian; there is a difference in these two terms, but in daily conversations they are often used interchangeably) is signed, and it becomes the basis for any interaction between the renter and the tenant.
