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.
