Frequently Asked Questions

A property manager in Romania handles the full lifecycle of your rental: marketing the property, screening tenants, drafting lease contracts, collecting rent, coordinating maintenance and repairs, paying utility bills, and ensuring compliance with local laws. At Velox Living we also conduct regular inspections and send you photo reports so you always know the condition of your property. Think of us as your trusted representative on the ground — available to act even when you are thousands of kilometres away.

Property management fees in Transylvania typically range from 8% to 15% of the monthly rent, depending on the scope of services included. At Velox Living, our full-service packages cover everything from tenant placement to bill payments and maintenance coordination — with no hidden charges. We believe transparent, predictable pricing is essential for remote owners who need to plan their rental income accurately.

Velox Living is fully operational in English, Romanian, Hungarian, and Spanish. This is especially important in Târgu Mureș, where both Romanian and Hungarian are widely spoken, and for our international clients based in Western Europe or Latin America. You can communicate with us in whichever language is most comfortable — from the initial consultation right through to monthly owner reports.

For critical emergencies — burst pipes, heating failures, power outages — we respond as quickly as possible, including outside business hours. For routine maintenance, we coordinate a contractor visit within 24–48 hours. Our network of trusted local tradespeople — plumbers, electricians, locksmiths — means we never waste time searching for help when something needs fixing quickly.

Yes — EU citizens have had the same property ownership rights as Romanian nationals since 2007, and non-EU nationals can own apartments and commercial spaces without restriction. Renting out your property is perfectly legal: you register the rental contract with the local tax authority (ANAF), declare your rental income, and pay a flat income tax. Velox Living handles all the local administrative steps on your behalf so you never need to visit a government office in person.

In Târgu Mureș, as across Romania, a legally valid rental requires a written lease contract signed by both parties, registration of that contract with ANAF within 30 days, and the declaration of rental income for tax purposes. The property must also hold a valid energy performance certificate (certificat energetic) before it can be advertised. Our team prepares all contracts in compliance with Romanian civil law and handles ANAF registration for you.

No — as a Velox Living client, you do not need to travel to Romania to sign tenant contracts. We sign a property management contract together, through which Velox Living officially represents you as the owner — and it is this contract that allows us to conclude the lease agreement with the tenant on your behalf. All documents are signed digitally, so geography is never an obstacle to managing your investment.

Finding reliable tenants starts with professional marketing — quality photos, accurate listings on major Romanian portals, and clear pricing — combined with thorough screening. At Velox Living we verify employment, run reference checks, and review financial standing before recommending any applicant. Our local market knowledge in Târgu Mureș means we understand exactly which tenant profiles suit which neighbourhoods and property types.

Romanian law provides landlords with a clear process: if a tenant misses rent payments, the landlord can issue a formal notice and, if unresolved, initiate eviction proceedings through the courts. In practice, we act before disputes escalate — proactive communication, clear lease terms, and security deposit clauses protect our owners. Velox Living monitors payments every month and contacts tenants immediately if a deadline is missed, so problems are resolved early.

In Romania, utility contracts (electricity, gas, water, building association fees) can be held in either the landlord's or tenant's name — the arrangement is specified in the lease. For owners living abroad, Velox Living can hold the utility accounts and pay bills on your behalf, recovering costs from the tenant each month. This keeps accounts organised, avoids late-payment penalties, and ensures nothing slips through the cracks while you're overseas.

Velox Living conducts inspections at move-in, periodically during the tenancy, and at move-out. Each inspection includes a written condition report with photographs, shared with you digitally. This documentation protects you legally, helps track the property's condition over time, and provides an objective basis for assessing any deposit deductions at the end of a tenancy.

Getting started is simple and requires no in-person visit. Begin by scheduling a free consultation via our website or WhatsApp — we'll discuss your property, your goals, and the best management package for your situation. We then send you a management agreement to sign digitally, and from that point we handle everything: inspections, listings, tenant placement, and ongoing management. Many of our clients have handed us the keys remotely and never looked back.
