The Romanian residential rental market is primarily governed by the Romanian Civil Code (Codul Civil). Romania is a pro-landlord jurisdiction, largely due to a unique legal mechanic that transforms a registered lease into an "enforceable title" (titlu executoriu).
The "Enforceable Title": ANAF and Legal Power
In Romania, if a landlord follows correct administrative steps, they can bypass the slow court system for eviction. A lease becomes an Enforceable Title (Titlu Executoriu) for rent payment and eviction if it is:
- Registered with ANAF: The Romanian fiscal authority.
- Notarized: Signed before a recognized Public Notary.
If a tenant defaults on a registered lease, the landlord can take the contract directly to a Judicial Executor (Bailiff), who can immediately begin garnishing wages or executing an eviction without a full civil trial.
Rent Control and Indexation
Romania is a free-market system regarding rent. There is no rent control limiting initial rent or increases between tenants. However, during a fixed-term lease, rent can only be increased if a specific indexation clause (linking to inflation or the Euro) was included in the original contract.
Security Deposits (Garanție)
Security deposits are standard, usually ranging from 1 to 2 months' rent. High-end rentals often request 3 months. There is no legal requirement to hold this in a separate escrow account or pay interest to the tenant upon return.
Maintenance and Repairs (Reparații)
- Landlords: Responsible for major capital repairs (Capex) and structural integrity (roof, plumbing, heating systems).
- Tenants: Legally bound to handle all minor, day-to-day maintenance (locative repairs) resulting from standard use (painting, light bulbs, minor plumbing).
Required Disclosures and Energy Certificates
A landlord must possess a valid Energy Performance Certificate (Certificat de Performanță Energetică) and provide a copy to the tenant. Detailed Handover Protocols (Proces-Verbal de Predare-Primire) with photos are essential for protecting deposit claims.
