- Lithuanian rental disputes can begin with a tenant who appears tidy, friendly and punctual with payments.
- Some cases later leave landlords with thousands of euros in debt, a damaged apartment or difficulty regaining possession of the property.
- The article asks whether landlords can take steps to avoid these losses.
Rental arrangements in Lithuania often begin in a reassuring way. The tenant appears orderly, communicates pleasantly, pays the deposit and settles the first months' rent on time.
But that first impression can prove misleading. In some cases, landlords are left with debts running into thousands of euros. Elsewhere, an apartment is damaged, or the owner struggles for months to recover the property.
The article raises the question of whether these outcomes can be avoided, focusing on the risks landlords face when an apparently reliable rental relationship deteriorates.
