Living room or rental home: What should parents know?

Questioner

My wife and I are homeowners. However, we want to rent an apartment so that my elderly parents can live there. Is that just how it goes? Are there any specific things we should keep in mind?

Lawyer

This is possible, but in any case, pay close attention to the rental agreement between you and the landlord. In most cases, it will state that you must live in and use the rented property yourself. You need a customized arrangement, both between you and the landlord and between you and your parents. After all, on what legal basis is the right of residence of your parents in the property you are renting established?
