Important to know

Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.

Before you start

An extract records rights at issuance; a representative's authority needs separate checking.

Who is this guide for?

Prospective tenants.

!
Conditions and exceptions

Land-registry property is the example; other registries need appropriate rights documents. The model contract is not law.

These links let you check with the responsible authority. The website's verification date does not guarantee that every detail has remained up to date since then.

Frequently asked questions

Does an extract authorise a broker to sign?

No. It identifies registered rights; check the broker's or representative's authority separately.
