Tips before you reply

  • Ask whether there are extra fees on top of the rent (agency, admin or contract fees).
  • Is there a deposit? Ask how much, and when and how you get it back.
  • Check what is included in the rent: water, energy, internet, service charges, furniture.
  • Never pay anything before you have seen the place (in person or by live video) and signed a contract.
  • Ask for the minimum rental period and the notice period.
  • Keep everything in writing and save the original listing.
