The issue of renting residential properties to foreigners, particularly Chinese nationals, is being widely discussed in Tashkent. Many property owners are sharing their mixed experiences with this process and highlighting the unique cultural characteristics of various nationalities regarding living habits.
This was reported within an informal community of consumers and buyers of goods and products in Uzbekistan. According to dozens of landlords, the main issue revolves around the unique cooking methods.
The use of significant amounts of oil and traditional spices, which are unfamiliar to the local population and produce strong odors, is said to result in persistent smells in apartments that are difficult to eliminate. Reports indicate that even thorough cleaning efforts are insufficient to entirely remove these odors.
Some property owners have reportedly had to carry out cosmetic renovations repeatedly after such tenants move out, as it became challenging to rent the apartment to local tenants. Additionally, neighbors have also complained about the specific smells, leading to further communal living issues.
In contrast, positive feedback has been received regarding tenants from Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. These tenants have been praised for maintaining cleanliness, discipline, and financial responsibility.
However, it was also noted that such tenants often demonstrate high expectations regarding housing and living conditions. It is evident that individual cleanliness is not directly tied to nationality.
Nevertheless, the overall experience of landlords suggests that certain cultural differences in living habits, particularly in terms of culinary practices, can indeed significantly impact the condition of a property. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
