Renting a holiday apartment in coastal areas is something common for those who visit our beaches and not only foreigners also Spaniards prefer renting an apartment. And this is because they are a lot of advantages to this acitivity. Probably what first comes to mind is that unlike buying a property, the lease allows you to enjoy it for a period of time so therefore you can change the following year the location and apartment.
With this article in Naranja Spain, we want to bring a series of guidelines and recommendations for you to consider before signing a lease contract to avoid any future problems during your stay.
It's cheaper, and we are not only talking about the accommodation, but also by being in a house or apartment will "save" and cut other expense such as eating out since you can cook at home.
You can invite friends or family over to stay with you, as soon as they do not exceed the planned occupation.
The nice aspect of spending your holidays on an apartment is that you are more likely to "feel at home" and create your own space.
Despite these advantages, it is inevitable that sometimesmismatch between the property described and reality could be inaccurate for example the location, or that furniture and appliances in poor condition that is way it's important to trust you real estate agent and to do the folowings:
As the mismatch between reality and expectations is the source of many problems, the key is to make sure first of all the house it is as promised.
Once you have chosen the apartment you are interested in, you can negotiate with the owner or the real estate the price and conditions. When you've reached an agreement, remember to always sign a contract.
Typically, the owner or the real estate agent will ask for a signal or first payment to guarantee the reservation on the agreed dates: the sum will be deducted from the total of the pay for the stay. The figure is set as a signal and can represent between 20 and 30% of the agreed price.
It is important to note in the contract the amount of the signal you are giving.
Negotiate the possibility to cancel your reservation without an extra charge within a certain period, this will only work for reservations made well in advance. And in case of last minute cancellation it is comon for the landlord to keep the amount of the compensation signal or deposit.
To avoid conflicts and know where you stand, make you it is set the time after which the cancellation of the reservation implies the loss of the signal.
Ask for proof of payment, and always keep it.
Check that the benificiary person reciving the the signal, it's who in the contract as lessor, owner or mediator in case of a real estate appears.
If you ask for bail to face possible damage potential tenants in housing, he calls for the concept and the conditions of its application clearly detail, also providing for their return.
