House rental contract

Legal rent contract have to be registered within a month from the date of the signature with the agenzia delle entrate (the Italian tax office) and should bear at least one marca da bollo (like the one you have brought your first day in SISSA) every 4 pages (contracts usually require one - one and half pages). Every contract should contain some info in order to be properly written (and hence to be valid).

There are different kind of contracts. The most common one is the standard rent contract in Italy and lasts for 3 years at minimum (with an option for a 2 year renewal) . As PhD students we are entitled to sign a second kind of contracts designed specifically for students (locazione agevolata per studenti) which can last as short as six months (up to a maximum of 36 months)
