This is pretty common in Prague. Rent contract has some value, so you pay compensation to original owner. Pretending otherwise is just lying.

Here is an example from centre of Prague. 400 euro per month, 20k compensation

Who pockets this "odstupné nájemného" of 20k eur? If it's rent-controlled, shouldn't this be forbidden?
