How Pricing Works
For long-term rentals, pricing is shown as a monthly rate. This rate is more stable than temporary stay pricing, as landlords set fixed terms for lease agreements.
The monthly rate usually includes base rent only. Additional costs may include:
Utilities (electricity, water, heating, internet)
Building charges or maintenance fees
Parking or storage, if applicable
Some properties include utilities in the rent; others do not. Each listing specifies what is included.
Deposits and Upfront Costs
Long-term rentals require an upfront payment before move-in. This typically includes:
50% of the first month's rent (Agency Fee)
Security deposit (usually 2 months' rent)
These amounts are confirmed after your application is approved.
Why Approval Takes Longer
Long-term rentals involve a formal review process. Landlords want to verify that prospective tenants:
Have a stable income to cover rent for the lease term
Can provide the required documentation
Meet any specific criteria (no pets, no smoking, etc.)
This review process takes longer than temporary stays.
We communicate with the estate agency/landlord on your behalf, but final approval is their decision.
Why Availability Depends on Validation
Long-term rental availability depends on the real estate agency/landlord accepting your application.
A property may be listed as available, but the landlord may:
Be reviewing multiple applications
Have specific criteria that not all applicants meet
Require additional documentation before confirming
This means availability is not guaranteed until your application is approved. We will notify you as soon as we receive a response.
What Is Realistic to Expect
Long-term rentals are more selective than temporary stays. To set realistic expectations:
Budget for a deposit plus agency fee
Provide documentation (ID, employment, income).
Understand that not every application will be accepted.
