Voodoo Academy
Where landlords learn to cast better rental spells.
Renting is more than just signing a lease. It is a complete process that includes leasing, property management, move-out procedures, and dispute resolution. Voodoo Academy focuses on Taiwan rental laws and practical guidance, helping landlords and tenants understand risks and solutions before problems arise.
What Does Taiwan Rental Law Cover?
In Taiwan, rental law is primarily governed by the Civil Code, the Land Act, the Rental Housing Market Development and Regulation Act, and the Mandatory and Prohibited Provisions of Standard Residential Lease Agreements.
These laws affect:
- How lease agreements are drafted
- How deposits and fees are charged
- The rights and obligations of landlords and tenants
- Who is responsible when equipment is damaged
- How early lease termination is handled
- What legal procedures are available when disputes arise
Voodoo Academy is organized around the rental journey, allowing you to start with the topics most relevant to your current situation.

Go to Termination & Disputes」Renting Is a Process
Rental law is not a single issue but a complete journey that spans signing a lease, managing a rental, moving out, and resolving disputes. Many conflicts arise not from a single event, but from unclear terms, expectations, or decisions made earlier. Voodoo Academy is structured around this rental journey.

Understand lease terms, agreement types, guarantors, notarization, and signing risks.
During the Lease → Deposits, Repairs & Rights
Learn about deposits, repair responsibilities, and everyday usage restrictions.
Ending the Lease → Termination & Move-Out
Cover move-out procedures, early termination, penalties, inspections, restoration obligations, and vacancy issues.
When Problems Arise → Legal Procedures
When disputes cannot be resolved, move on to notices, mediation, litigation, or enforcement procedures.
