A lot of people in this forum are renting properties for either their entire stay in the island or for a period of time while they find the property of their dreams.

Some of you had run into trouble due to landlords with Zero ethics. So lets talk about it, but before we do that here is an article I found that covers your rights and advices you on what should be in the contract.

Know your rights and consult a lawyer for free, most lawyers will provide you with a free initial consultation. Also lawyers are not as expensive as in the states.

If you can not afford a lawyer you may still get free service, see this site:
