Receipt for a returned deposit (Bulgaria)

Why it matches: Your tenancy in Bulgaria is ending and the landlord is returning your deposit.

The document that closes a tenancy. The receipt shows the deposit that was paid, the sums withheld and the ground for each, and states expressly whether any claims remain. If a landlord withholds part of a deposit without setting that out, the argument afterwards is conducted with no record from either side.

Notice to the landlord to repair a defect (Bulgaria)

Why it matches: Something has broken in your rented flat in Bulgaria and you want the landlord to fix it.

Repairs made necessary by ordinary use are the landlord's — but only if the landlord has been told. This document makes the telling written and dated: what has broken, when it was noticed, and within what period its repair is requested. The tenant keeps a copy, and it does its work in a later argument about the deposit.

Residential lease (tenancy agreement) (Bulgaria)

Why it matches: You are renting a home from a private landlord and want the rent, the bills and the term written down.

The full tenancy agreement between private individuals: what is let, for how long, at what rent, who pays the utilities and how it is brought to an end. The deposit is tied to a handover record, which is the one thing that later settles an argument about whose it is. The agreement provides for a record both on moving in and on moving out.

Application to sit a resit examination (Bulgaria)

Why it matches: The resit session is coming up and you need to apply before the deadline to be entered.

Sitting a resit is applied for in advance and within the deadline — being entered on the examination record follows from an application, not from turning up in the hall. Give the subject, the examiner and the session exactly as they appear in the curriculum, because a mismatch is the commonest reason an application comes back. Check too whether a fee is payable.

Garage or parking space rental agreement (Bulgaria)

Letting a garage or a parking space works differently from letting a home: what matters is the number of the space, how access is given, and what may be done inside. The contract limits use to parking, rules out storing flammable materials and carrying out repairs, and lists the keys, fobs and remotes handed over, which are returned when it ends.

Dispute of an unauthorised payment transaction (Bulgaria)

Why it matches: You want to dispute an unauthorised payment and ask your bank to refund the money.

Where a payment was not made or authorised by you, tell the bank at once — delay shifts the risk onto you. The dispute describes the transaction by date, amount and payee, says where the card was at that moment, and asks for the money back. File it in writing with a reference number, even if you have already phoned the call centre.

Request for an employment certificate for nursery or kindergarten (Bulgaria)

Why it matches: Your kindergarten application came back because the employer’s certificate lacked a stamp or a reference number.

In the admissions ranking for a nursery or kindergarten, working parents prove their employment with a certificate from the employer. It is most often sent back not over its content but over a missing formality. So this request spells out what the certificate must carry: the employer's company number, an outgoing reference number, a date, a signature and a stamp. File it early — the rankings have deadlines, the payroll office does not.

Owner's consent for address registration (Bulgaria)

Why it matches: Your address registration was handed back at the counter because the owner’s consent was missing.

When you register at an address that is not yours, the municipality asks for the owner's written consent. This is that document. It goes in together with the application for a permanent or current address, and without it the counter returns the whole file. If the owner will not be coming to the counter in person with their ID card, the signature has to be notarised — which is why most people end up going twice.

Car rental agreement between private individuals (Bulgaria)

Why it matches: You want to settle who pays the traffic fines that arrive after the car has been returned.

The contract for letting out a passenger car between private individuals. The terms that are usually missing, and that later cause the argument, are separate clauses here: who is allowed to drive the car, how far it may be taken, whose account the fuel is on, and who pays the fines for offences committed during the term — including the ones that arrive months later.

Property handover record (Bulgaria)

Why it matches: You want a handover record to compare with later if there is an argument over the deposit.

The document that decides whose the deposit is. It records the readings of every meter, the number of keys handed over, the contents and the condition of the property at that moment. It is completed both on moving in and on moving out — comparing the two records is the only objective evidence of what changed.

Commercial lease (Bulgaria)

For a shop, a studio, a warehouse or an office. What sets it apart from a residential lease is purpose: the premises are taken for a particular activity, the permits for that activity are the tenant's, and any improvements the tenant makes have to be agreed in advance — otherwise they stay with the property and are not paid for. The contract settles all three separately.
