Italian rental terms you need to understand
Locatore is the landlord and conduttore is the tenant. Deposito cauzionale refers to the security deposit, recesso to withdrawal, cedolare secca to a tax regime mentioned in some leases, and spese condominiali to shared building expenses. AffittoCheck explains these terms in the context of the clauses you upload rather than presenting a generic translation.
What to check before you pay or sign
Confirm the monthly rent, payment dates, security deposit, condominium expenses, utilities, duration and notice period. Read any penalties, maintenance duties, guest or subletting restrictions, inventory attachments and conditions for returning the deposit. Ask for unclear amounts and promises to be confirmed in writing before transferring money.
Italian clauses explained in English
Premium keeps the original Italian clause beside an Italian-English explanation. This helps foreigners, expats, international students and relocating workers point to the exact wording when speaking with a landlord, university office, relocation adviser or qualified professional. It is an explanatory bilingual report, not a certified translation.
How the free preview works
Upload one readable PDF or DOCX without creating an account. The preview organizes the main signals before payment. Premium is optional and adds the original clause, fuller explanation, practical suggestion, severity and a downloadable bilingual PDF.
When to ask a qualified professional
Seek professional help when a clause has major financial consequences, conflicts with what you were promised, limits withdrawal, assigns unusual liabilities or is connected to a dispute. AffittoCheck is an informational first review and does not determine whether a clause is legally valid.
