For renting a single room in a home in Cyprus where the owner also lives or other rooms are let. It describes the room and the shared areas, sets how the electricity, water and internet bills are split and the house rules, ties the deposit to the move-in and move-out records, and gives the tenant an early-termination clause on written notice. The rent is paid by bank transfer, and since 2026 the agreement needs no stamp duty.

Common questions
- What does the Rent Control Law say about renting a room in Cyprus?
- The Law's definition of a dwelling includes part of a building let as a person's home, and it applies to property in the controlled areas completed by 31 December 1999; it does not cover a furnished home let for less than six months. The agreement says that wherever the Law applies its provisions prevail, and everything else is governed by the agreement. Because it gives the tenant exclusive use of the room for rent, it is a tenancy rather than a mere licence: Cypriot case law looks at exclusive possession, not at the name the parties give it.
- How are the bills split in a shared home in Cyprus?
- However you write them into the agreement. The electricity (EAC), water and internet bills can be split equally among the occupants or included in a fixed sum with the rent. Write down who pays which bill, in what share and until when, and keep the bills; then the final settlement before the deposit is returned does not turn into a dispute.
- Can the owner enter a rented room in Cyprus?
- Under this agreement, not without the tenant's consent, except in an emergency. The room is let for the tenant's exclusive use, while the shared areas are used by everyone. If the tenant seriously breaks the house rules and carries on after a written warning, the owner may end the agreement with the notice it sets.

- Tenant's notice of defects in a rented home (Cyprus)
A Cypriot tenant's written notice asking the landlord to repair defects in the home, such as damp, leaks, electrical faults or a broken air conditioner. It describes the defects and when they were found, sets a deadline and gives a phone number to arrange the work, states that the rent will continue to be paid, and reserves a claim for damages if the repair is not made. It is sent by registered post, with photographs.
- Request for the landlord's consent to sublet (Cyprus)
A Cypriot tenant's written request for the landlord's consent to sublet, long-term or short-term through an online platform. It describes the part of the home, the subtenant and the period, states that the tenant keeps paying the rent and remains responsible, and has room for the landlord to sign consent. Where the lease forbids subletting without consent, subletting without it breaches the lease and, in a statutory tenancy, is a ground for recovering possession under the Rent Control Law.
- Move-out record and deposit settlement (Cyprus)
The record a landlord and tenant in Cyprus sign when the tenancy ends and the home is handed back: the condition of each room, damage beyond ordinary wear, the final meter readings, the keys, and how much of the deposit the landlord keeps, why, and by when the rest is returned. By signing it the landlord limits claims for visible damage to what is listed, which settles the deposit.
- Move-in record and inventory (Cyprus)
The record a landlord and tenant in Cyprus sign when the home is handed over: the condition of each room, an inventory of furniture and equipment, the electricity and water meter readings, the keys, and the defects already there. Because a deposit in Cyprus is governed by the lease rather than by statute, this record is what decides at the end what is damage and what is ordinary wear. Photographs taken the same day complete it.
- Demand for the return of a deposit (Cyprus)
A former tenant's written demand to a landlord in Cyprus for a deposit that has not been returned. It refers to the lease, the amount of the deposit and the date the home was handed back, states that no rent is owed and there is no damage beyond ordinary wear, and gives 14 days to pay into a bank account before going to court. It encloses the documents and asks for a written reply within 14 days, as the Civil Procedure Rules require before a claim for a sum of money. It is sent by registered post so that the sending can be proved.
- Notice of a rent increase (Cyprus)
A Cypriot landlord's written notice of a new rent for a home, with the current and new amounts and the date it applies from, and room for the tenant to accept. It is written for three cases: an increase the lease provides for; an increase in a statutory tenancy under the Rent Control Law, once every two years, up to the capped percentage, which is 6% for 22 April 2025 – 21 April 2027, or more where the rent is below 90% of the average for the area, and, if the tenant does not accept it, by order of the Rent Control Court; or a new rent as a condition of renewal, which applies only if the tenant accepts it.
