Among modern citizens, few people are looking for an apartment or a room to live by an advertisement in a newspaper, by any catalogs, through acquaintances or by calling a hotline in this area. This means that most people book and rent temporary accommodation for their vacation on the Internet. But here, too, you can find many tricks and nuances, which means that there are certain rules that should be followed when searching for and booking accommodation.
Rent price
As a rule, most people try to save money on this point when choosing housing, but here you should always know when to stop. Everyone remembers the great phrase "free cheese only in a mousetrap", so be careful when saving on rent. In this matter, you can both overpay for ordinary housing, which in similar advertisements can cost less, or save so much by falling for the bait of a beautiful advertisement that you will have to urgently look for a replacement on the spot, and later the start of the vacation will already be spoiled.
To avoid this, you should pay attention to all the details of the ads you like. This applies to both real reviews about the apartment itself and about its tenant, real photo reports of previous tenants, the presence of any conditions for a comfortable stay in it. All this is in the first place in terms of the importance of the criteria for the reason that the tenant can save on the terms or exaggerate the description of their qualities, correct the photo of the property from the advantageous side.
Check all the pros and cons of the chosen apartment, the possibility of a refund on a specific site. As a last resort, talk to the tenant to discuss all the conditions, and only then decide to rent it, so that the consequences of your savings or overpayment are not dire.
Accommodations
Regarding this criterion for choosing housing, it is necessary to carefully study its characteristics and living conditions. These include its location, the availability of all the necessary household and electronic equipment, a serviceable bathroom, the constant availability of hot and cold water, and much more that is necessary for a comfortable stay. Also here it is worth paying attention to such nuances as the rules of residence established by the tenant himself.
These may include a ban on smoking in the apartment, the conduct of any events (parties), the presence of animals and children. The last thing to keep in mind when renting a particular apartment in an apartment building is the floor on which it is located and the presence of a working elevator so that when you check into the apartment there are no problems and your rest does not turn into a daily fitness workout instead of the intended rest.
Payment for housing
The most common problem with renting a home over the Internet is paying it off prematurely. On the vast field of Internet resources, among a million ads and sites, you can find various conditions for booking and paying for housing. Among them, there are mainly such as: full payment for the entire stay, partial prepayment, free booking. The greatest care should be taken when paying in full for housing before moving into it.
Exceptions can only be of certain kind of sites that already have their own history and are time-tested, where conditions such as full or partial refunds are required, depending on the conditions provided. It is not worth paying for housing in full in advance without the possibility of a refund, but if you come across a burning discount on a specific offer and you are already familiar with this housing, and the site on which it is displayed is verified, then an exception can be made here.
As for partial prepayment, here the option is the most loyal, and depending on the cost, you can go for it, but only in the case of a trusted source, or a tenant. In other cases, it is not advisable to make any early payment and book accommodation on a free basis, as well as negotiate with the tenant orally for greater confidence in the provision of housing.
