# Declaring a Lease to the Tax Authority in Greece

**Country:** 🇬🇷 Greece  
**Last verified:** 2026-06-04  
**Estimated time:** The online form takes about 35 minutes to complete; the paper route at a tax office takes roughly 25 to 32 minutes. The landlord must file by the end of the month following the lease start or change, and each tenant and co-owner then has 30 days to accept or reject.  
**Cost:** EUR 0

## Required documents

- **TAXISnet credentials** *(TAXISnet)*
  - Required (landlord): The submitting landlord or sub-landlord logs in with personal TAXISnet username and password. A Greek tax registration number is needed to hold these credentials.
  - _Note:_ Both the landlord and each tenant need their own tax registration number and TAXISnet access to use the portal — see the related guide on getting a tax registration number.
- **Energy Performance Certificate details** *(Πιστοποιητικό Ενεργειακής Απόδοσης (ΠΕΑ))*
  - When required: Where the landlord is obliged to issue an Energy Performance Certificate for the leased property, the certificate's protocol details are entered in the relevant fields of the declaration.
  - _Note:_ Leaving these fields blank where a certificate is required can invalidate the declaration.
- **Paper template (alternative route)** *(ΥΠΟΔΕΙΓΜΑ 1)*
  - When required: The official paper template, filed at the competent local tax office when digital submission is not possible.
- **Representative authority documents**
  - When required: Guardianship orders, executor appointments, trustee designations, or bankruptcy-supervisor documents, where the submitter acts on behalf of another party. These are filed with the paper route at the tax office.
- **Tenant access**
  - Required (tenant): No document is needed to accept a declaration. A tenant only needs a tax registration number and TAXISnet access to log in and respond.

## Costs

- **Lease-information declaration:** 0 EUR — Provided without cost. Submission, viewing, and acceptance are all free. Cross-checked across two official-portal sources.

## Steps

### 1. Log in to the portal and open the rental declarations application *(myAADE)*

- The landlord or sub-landlord signs in to myAADE with personal *TAXISnet* codes (username and password)
- Navigate to Applications, then Tax Services, then Property, then Rental declarations
- Confirm you hold a tax registration number and active credentials before starting — the application is not accessible without them

> **Tip:** Both the landlord and the tenant need a tax registration number to use the portal. If you do not yet have one, obtain it first.

### 2. Select the declaration type and complete the form *(μισθωτήριο)*

- Choose the declaration type — initial, amending, or termination
- Enter lessor and lessee details, the property details, and the energy-certificate details where the landlord must hold one
- The procedure covers both written and oral leases, so a *μισθωτήριο* (lease) that was never put in writing is still declared

> **If this fails:** If you act for someone else as a guardian, executor, trustee, or bankruptcy supervisor, the online route is not available — file the paper template with your authority documents at the competent local tax office.

### 3. Submit the declaration and keep the certificate

- Submit and finalise the declaration
- Download the submission certificate, which serves as proof for other authorities and for co-owners who have accepted
- Finalisation on the portal is what makes the declaration visible to the tenant for acceptance

> **Tip:** The landlord must file the initial or amending declaration "by the end of the following month from the start of the lease or its modification. In case of termination... by the end of the following month from the termination." The window is short — a lease starting late in a month leaves only the rest of that month plus the next.

### 4. Wait for the notification as a tenant or co-owner

- After the landlord finalises the submission, each tenant and co-owner receives a notice in the myAADE My Messages inbox (Τα Μηνύματά μου), under Registry and Communication
- The same notice also appears in the myAADEapp mobile application
- If you see no declaration to accept, the landlord has not yet finalised the submission

> **If this fails:** A tenant cannot accept or reject until the landlord has finalised submission. If nothing appears, ask the landlord to complete and finalise the declaration on the portal.

### 5. Accept or reject the declaration within 30 days

- Log in to the portal with personal credentials and open the declaration
- Electronically accept or reject it within 30 days of the notification
- Each co-owner is notified separately and has an independent 30-day window

> **Tip:** If you take no action within 30 days, the declaration is automatically deemed accepted. Review it promptly so an incorrect declaration is not accepted by default.

## FAQ

### Is there a fee to declare a lease?

No. Submitting, viewing, and accepting the declaration are all free — the portal states the service is provided without cost. There is no charge for either the landlord or the tenant.

### Who submits the declaration — landlord or tenant?

The landlord or sub-landlord submits it. The tenant and any co-owners are then notified and must electronically accept or reject it. A tenant cannot file the declaration; it can only respond once the landlord has finalised the submission.

### What is the deadline to file?

The landlord files the initial or amending declaration by the end of the month following the lease's start or modification. On termination, the landlord files by the end of the month following the termination. The tenant and each co-owner then have 30 days from the notification to respond.

### What happens if I do nothing within 30 days as a tenant?

The declaration is automatically deemed accepted once the 30-day window lapses without action. For this reason, review any declaration promptly so an incorrect one is not accepted by default. Each co-owner has an independent 30-day window.

### Does it cover an unwritten lease?

Yes. The system explicitly accepts both written and oral rental agreements. Where a lease was never put in writing, the declaration itself becomes the recorded basis for the tenancy.

### Is this the same as registering a short-term holiday rental?

No. This is the standard long-term lease-information declaration for a home you live in. The short-term-rental (holiday-let, Airbnb-type) registry is a separate procedure on a different portal. A normal residential lease uses the declaration described here.

### Where does the notification appear?

In the myAADE My Messages inbox (Τα Μηνύματά μου), under Registry and Communication, and also in the myAADEapp mobile application. Both surface the notice once the landlord finalises the submission.

An initial or amending declaration is submitted by lessors or sub-lessors by the end of the following month from the start of the lease or its modification, and on termination by the end of the following month from the termination. The declaration is provided without cost and is authenticated via TAXISnet. The responsible authority is the Independent Authority for Public Revenue. The acceptance window for the tenant and co-owners is thirty days from the notification. Free-use transfers are also declared, with exemptions for tax-exempt persons under Law 4172/2013 Article 39 para. 2, and Energy Performance Certificate details are required per Law 4342/2015 Article 58 para. 3 where applicable. Decision POL 1162/2018 and Law 5104/2024 Articles 83-84 govern electronic submission and transitory provisions.
- [Independent Authority for Public Revenue — property rental information statements page](https://www.aade.gr/polites/eisodima/misthotiria-akiniton) — accessed 2026-06-04 — _T1_ — You can submit, view, and accept information statements for property rental at no cost. The system accepts both written and oral rental agreements. Tenants and co-owners receive electronic notices in their myAADE inbox, and each tenant can electronically accept or reject the declaration within thirty days from receipt of the notification on the myAADE digital portal. A prerequisite for tenant acceptance or rejection is that the landlord has finalised submission of the property rental information statement on TAXISnet. After the deadline expires, if the co-owner has taken no action, the declaration is deemed to have been accepted. Where an Energy Performance Certificate is obligatory for the property, this must be indicated in the relevant fields of the electronic rental statements pursuant to Article 58, Law 4342/2015.

The landing page routes landlords and tenants to the electronic lease-information declaration and confirms the authority and digital channel for managing property rentals.
