_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alex Shifrin Sent: Monday, May 18, 2009 11:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Expat List "The Cheating Landlord Scandal" no one threatens with lawyers, police (militia) or some sort of better business bureau. in this city, the ubiquitous threat (with the occasional half-ironic allusion to 90's era 'krisha') is notifying the tax police. people, no one actually knows anyone from the tax police, and even if you found someone and notified them, something surprisingly close to 100% of the people/businesses in this country avoid taxes in one way or another, which means that i'm pretty sure the tax police have better things to worry about than to right the wrongs of an ethically dubious landlady. _____ Date: Sat, 16 May 2009 19:30:16 +0000 From: [email protected] Subject: Re: Expat List "The Cheating Landlord Scandal" To: [email protected] Arthur, the mention of a tax inspector would work most of the time but should be last resort and not when you want to stay living in the apartment. Even if there is no contract for the sum paid, there should still be an agreement or the tenant can't live there legally. Rgds, Nick _____ From: Arthur R <[email protected]> To: The Moscow Expat List <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, 16 May, 2009 18:31:39 Subject: Re: Expat List "The Cheating Landlord Scandal" To 2: It's hard to prove A signed contract is not a proof, only a receipt written by the owner proves that he\she has received money and therefore has to pay a tax. Advanced owners know that well and if they didn't sign anything except for a contract (dogovor) they will not fear for themselves getting in trouble. If a tenant has receipt that he\she has paid money than that might be useful in this case and influence the owner's decision. Anyway, you have to know that for this case there is no prison sentence, only a fine. * Nick REES <[email protected]> [Fri, 15 May 2009 12:10:59 +0000 (GMT)]: > I guess most of the potential ideas have been suggested but I think that > some of them will get you nowhere as, at the end of the day, you're > going to find yourself out of this apartment whether you like it or not. > > 1/ Speak to your agent if you have one.
