A rental contract in Lithuania – also called a lease agreement, tenancy agreement or rental agreement – is the nuomos sutartis; for a flat it is usually searched as buto nuomos sutartis. This page is about having that contract reviewed before signing, or drafted from the start, by a lawyer who reads Lithuanian and explains it in English. It suits tenants, landlords and companies renting homes for their staff. Some older lists and lawyer pages call this service “Property Lease Review & Drafting”.
Templates of the buto nuomos sutartis circulate widely as PDF or Word files. They cover the basics but seldom the points that cause trouble later: who pays which utilities and repairs, how and when the deposit (depozitas) is returned, whether the rent can be reviewed, what happens if one side leaves early, and whether pets, subletting or the use of the address for official purposes are allowed.
The lawyer reads the draft, marks risky or unclear clauses, proposes changes, prepares a bilingual version and, where useful, arranges registration of the lease. For a foreigner looking for a home there is a separate page on renting a flat in Lithuania; owners letting a flat can see renting out your property. Leases of offices or shops can be checked under contract review and advice. If a signed lease has already gone wrong, see landlord and tenant disputes.
The parties can agree in a language they both understand, and bilingual contracts are common. A Lithuanian version or a translation is usually asked for when the lease is registered or used in court.
No, but an unregistered lease may not bind a new owner if the property is sold. Whether registration is worth it depends on the length of the lease and the situation.
Yes. The draft can be sent by email, and signing can be arranged in person, with a qualified electronic signature or under a power of attorney.
Yes, for either side. The lawyer builds it around the agreed terms and the rules of the Civil Code.

We needed professional advice on a lease for an apartment in Portugal, and our lawyer handled it excellently during a video call. His advice was to the point and kept us from signing a contract that could have turned out quite disastrous. We also greatly valued his e-mail contact before and after the call: he put real effort into writing out his comments on the contract and sent them the day after we spoke. His command of English is excellent too. Above all, it was very pleasant to talk with him, and he left us feeling reassured.
She has been amazing! She helped us enormously with the paperwork for our move to Spain and with the contract for the property we rent. Her English is perfect and her fees are very reasonable. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing legal help around Murcia.
This is a great company. Alongside referring attorneys, it publishes lots of excellent legal articles online. I was paired with a wonderful attorney, and I would rate her far above the maximum if I could. She is friendly and knowledgeable, and she answers emails and texts without delay. Her English is excellent, and she obviously has a superb grasp of rental law, the subject of my enquiry. Her rates are also very reasonable. I highly recommend her services; my experience with the service and with the attorney it referred me to was fantastic.
Outstanding service and a very responsive lawyer.
The lawyer was professional, engaging and extremely competent, and her communication and responsiveness to our many requests were exceptionally good. She was always available and gave sound advice. We asked her to find us a rental property in Pontevedra, which is a relatively tight market. She found a suitable one, arranged a remote viewing and negotiated for us. We are delighted with our apartment and thankful she represented us. Our rating of her could not be higher, and we thoroughly recommend her.
I had an excellent experience working with the lawyer on my rental contract review. From our initial contact he was remarkably responsive. During our consultation he showed a high level of professionalism, patiently clarifying crucial sections I found difficult to understand. He also offered valuable insights on points that could be added for clarity and identified key areas for negotiation. He thoroughly addressed all my questions, even following up promptly after our meeting, and his English was perfect. I would definitely recommend him for his expertise and dedication.
The lawyer came recommended and went above and beyond to resolve our issue. I will gladly use her services again.
