How to give your notice ?

You must notify the agency of your intention to end the lease. You can give your notice anytime during the lease. If you rent an unfurnished apartment, you must give three month’s notice before your departure, except in the case of a relocation or the loss of your job (these cases require one month’s notice). For a furnished apartment, only one month’s notice is necessary for any reason. You must send to the agency a registered letter with acknowledge receipt. The notice starts the day we receive the letter. During your notice, the agency has the right to show the property to prospective clients. Either you can conduct these visits yourselves, in this case we will give your phone number to the prospective tenants. Or we can organize and conduct the visits for you during the normal business hours of the agency.

Leaving

Before leaving definitely the apartment you will have to :

Clean carefully all of the property including, basement, garage, attic …
The flat must be empty
Repair the holes made in the walls
Repair the Silicone seals in sinks, bath, shower …
Clean the toilet
Clean the appliances for air conditioning

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call us before the date of the inspection.

The security deposit

A security deposit is a payment required by the agency to ensure that a tenant keeps the rental in good condition. If the tenant damages the property, the agency can use the security deposit to cover these repairs. This deposit may also be used to cover any expenses during the tenancy that are not paid. (rent, charges, repairs of damage, cleaning of the rental…). The agency has two months after your departure to refund the security deposit (don’t forget to give us your new address and your bank details).
The amount of the security deposit is usually one month’s rent. It’s two month’s rent for a furnished apartment.
