Renting an apartment in summer is one of the options that many people choose to spend their holidays . However, in some occasions you can find very different problems ranging from issues related to the form of payment of rent, extras not included in the price or misuses of housing. In general, some of the mishaps that tenants may suffer are:

Be sure of the home you are going to rentWhen renting, it is important to ask for photographs and examine the owner’s reliability. The ideal is to be able to visit the property before or, at least, contact directly with the owner or agency . It is also advisable to look for opinions on the Internet about that property and its owners, since users are the ones who will offer a more objective view.

Agree some of the basic aspects of the holiday homeTo avoid unforeseen events and misunderstandings, it is important to detail in advance how the keys will be delivered or to agree on the conditions for cleaning the property, both prior and subsequent. In the same way, the detailed information of the total rental cost should be clarified in aspects such as the cleaning of the accommodation, the parking or the expenses of supplies that can be made during the rental period.

Tips for owners:There are people who have a house on the beach, the city or the mountain that stays empty in some holiday periods, such as summer. A very practical option to earn money is to rent it for days, fortnights or months. However, as owners it is best to take a series of measures to avoid mishaps.

Inventory of belongingsBefore renting a property it is important that an exhaustive inventory be made with all the utensils, appliances and furniture that the house contains, as well as the state of conservation in which they are found. The photographs also help illustrate that the objects left in the property are in perfect condition. In case of having any object of value or irreplaceable in the house, it is recommended to remove it or store it in a closet to which the tenants can not access.

Give as much information as possible about the holiday apartmentAny tenant will appreciate that a few days before your stay there is a prior contact and that you are provided with all the useful information you may need. Clarify the details of the delivery of the keys, provide the exact address of the property, the transport routes to access, etc. It is also advisable to remember the dates of entry and departure, the rental price or the agreed form of payment so that there are no misunderstandings at the time of signing the contract.

Information guide for the tenantA good way for tenants to know all the details to take into account is to make a guide with all the information they may need during their stay. From how the washing machine works , where is the electrical panel or what are the operating rules of the common areas. It is also advisable to provide a list of emergency numbers, as well as a contact telephone number of the owner.
