In this episode of On The House, we continue our season dedicated to renting property in Israel with a deep dive into the legal side of leases. Debbie sits down with Advocate Avi Unterman, a seasoned Israeli real estate lawyer who has advised countless landlords and tenants. Together, they unpack everything from the necessity of a written lease to common clauses, misconceptions, and negotiations.

Listeners will also gain insight into early termination rights, replacement tenants, and how Israel’s rental law is designed to protect both parties. Avi shares why post-dated checks are still common, how enforcement really works, and the importance of documenting extensions in writing. Whether you’re a landlord looking to structure a fair contract or a tenant trying to understand your rights, this conversation offers practical knowledge to help you navigate the Israeli rental market with confidence.
