Tenants typically provide proof of employment (busta paga, contratto a tempo indeterminato) and pay a security deposit (deposito cauzionale) capped at three months rent, held in an interest-bearing escrow.
Contracts must be formally registered with the Agenzia delle Entrate within 30 days. Landlords opting for the Cedolare Secca flat-tax regime agree to freeze rent increases over the contract duration.
