Appartments

What should be considered when looking for an apartment?
Before booking and paying for the chosen room or apartment, it is worth considering a few nuances:
Surcharge
The full cost of renting an apartment is not always displayed on the booking site, so when meeting with the landlord, the client can expect a real "surprise" in the form of a tax levied on the tenant. In order not to get into a similar situation, you should contact the owner of the apartment in advance and clarify all the details before making the transaction.
Feedback from other users
If an apartment is found on one of the special sites, it is quite logical that there are reviews from other users who have already visited this landlord. On the pages of the service, descriptions and photos can illuminate the home from the advantageous side, but in fact, often everything turns out to be much more prosaic. That is why you should carefully read the reviews of other users, if there are many of them and they are all positive, in this case, you can rent the selected apartment without fear and hesitation.
Additional services
Before concluding a deal, you should check again whether additional services (daily cleaning, Internet access, breakfasts, change of towels and linen, toiletries) are included in the total cost of renting an apartment. You may have to pay for these services separately, and the site will be able to find better offers at the same price.
Favorable location
A suitable apartment may be located far from the center, so you still have to spend money on public transport. Isn't it easier to immediately rent a house closer to the center (as a rule, the price differs by 5 USD-10), so as not to waste time and nerves getting from the outskirts of the city?
Ways of payment
To rent an apartment using specialized services, you need a credit card, not a debit card. Otherwise, you can lose your reservation just a week before the expected check-in.
Availability of a security deposit
On many apartment booking services, you can find a similar clause, which obliges the client to have a certain amount of security on the credit card in case the property of the owner of the apartment is damaged. This money is simply frozen in the tenant's account, and after the eviction it becomes available again to the cardholder.

How is the process of renting a home abroad different?

If you need to rent a home abroad, you need to figure out in advance what is behind this process. Many of the nuances of renting apartments are significantly different from those that exist in other countries. What you should be aware of when renting a home abroad:
Signing a contract. In European countries, this is absolutely normal practice, as the landlord and tenant are protected by law and in case of any disagreement, the dispute is regulated by a contract.
When renting an apartment for a long time, the real estate agent's commission is paid by the landlord;
Damage to property. If you want to rent an apartment with furniture, you need to be rather scrupulous about their safety, since damage to the property of the owner of the apartment can become a real reason for early eviction.
Interestingly, in some countries there is no prohibition on keeping pets in rented housing, even if it is specified in the contract. Therefore, it is important to know your rights and be able to defend them.
Long term lease. In some European countries (Germany, France), the lease term starts from two years, this is due to the fact that in this way the tenant demonstrates his seriousness and solvency.
Tenant protection. If the tenant has a signed contract in his hands, it is almost impossible to evict him from the apartment ahead of schedule (if there are no gross violations), nothing can be done with housing during this period (sell or rent to someone else);
The need to pay the initial deposit. The tenant must pay the landlord a start-up deposit, which is equal to a maximum of three monthly rentals (utility bills are not included in this amount).
Provision of documents and personal data. The tenant is obliged to provide the landlord with all the necessary information about himself: passport data, personal questionnaire, income statement, as well as recommendations from previous landlords (if any).
