Reservation Process: Once you make a booking and payment, the property is usually taken off the market, ensuring it’s reserved for you.

What happens if I can’t pay the rent on time?
Any problems that may affect the potential payment of rent should be notified to the relevant office straight away. You may be charged a fee for late payment of rent.
Can I change the locks?
No, installing new locks on your own would violate the lease agreement terms. It’s possible to install a new lock upon request and approval; this may be a tenant charge depending on the situation.
Can I decorate or make changes to the property?
In most cases, a tenant can only decorate or make changes to the property with the express permission of the landlord. We recommend receiving this permission in writing.
What’s the pet policy?
The pet policy depends on the terms in each specific lease agreement. You must notify our team of any pets before move-in.
When you already have a pet and you want to add an extra one, please call our office first. We will process every request separately depending on the lease terms.
What if I accidentally cause damage to the property?
Don’t worry – accidents happen. Tell whoever is responsible for the property maintenance as soon as possible. You will be expected to cover the cost of putting it right.
Don’t try to ignore or hide damage because it could get worse, and it will only come out of your deposit at the end of the tenancy.
