When and how do I pay the security deposit?

When renting a property through Spotahome, it's essential to understand the details and conditions related to the security deposit. Here’s what you need to know:

Timing of Security Deposit Payment
  • Before Check-In: The payment of the security deposit is typically required before your check-in date. Especially with international bank transfers, the landlord needs to make sure that the payment has reached their account in cleared funds before handing over the keys. If a payment of the security deposit is required before the check-in, please make sure to request either a signed contract, or a payment confirmation from the landlord as an additional security measure.
  • Check Booking Details: The exact timing may vary depending on your specific booking. Be sure to review your booking details for specific instructions regarding the security deposit payment.
Security Deposit Amount
  • Specified in Booking Details: The amount of the security deposit is usually specified in the booking details and the listing (it is often equivalent to one or two months' rent)
  • Refundable: The security deposit is refundable at the end of your stay, provided there is no damage to the property beyond normal wear and tear.
Make sure to thoroughly understand the terms and conditions related to the security deposit before making the payment. If you have any questions or concerns about the security deposit or the payment process, contact your landlord or refer to your rental agreement for detailed information.
