Bilingual rental agreements
Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2017 5:21 pm
I've had my rental licence inspection and all went well.
One requirement the inspector pulled me up on was the fact that I only had my rental contracts written in English and they need to be in English and Spanish .. He said even though all my guests are English or speak English ( I've never had Spanish guests ) its still a requirement to have the contract in both languages in case of any disputes , I'm not sure how to go about this, has anybody else done this ?, if so what format is the contract in.. is it a paragraph in English and the same paragraph underneath in Spanish,? or is it two separate contracts to be filled in by guests .. I think there could be a problem somebody signing a contract in Spanish when they cant read it .
Any advice gratefully received ...
