Any natural or legal person wishing to conclude a private contract, such as renting a propertycan soon be obtained certificate Solvency, which will confirm that it has no arrears to both the public and private sector.
The difficulty of controlling the consistency of the person concerned discourages many owners than to dispose of their property for rent. With New Private Debt Monitoring Platformwhich will operate in the first months of 2026, according to the newspaper Kathimerini, the prospective tenant will, if he wishes, provide a certificate that he is a good payer to reduce the landlord’s reservations.
The ability to control the solvency of the candidates for tenants is one of the most important obstacles to encourage more owners to exploit their blank apartment, real estate market players say. The experiences of many owners with unpaid rents and DEKO accounts have not only pushed them to keep their property closed, but mainly prevent even more than exploiting their own home, fearing such a negative experience.
The government is expected to set up a private debt monitoring register, which has been established in 2022, but has not been implemented to date. It is a project that will allow both public and private creditors to better manage the debts of both natural and legal persons (anonymous of course) through targeted interventions, but also to documenting solvency.
Especially this latter part is estimated to be able to be used in the housing market so that any interested tenant can substantiate his solvency to the owner, providing the relevant copy granted by the registration. The project is funded by the recovery fund and is estimated to be completed in May 2026.
