11 Questions to Ask When Renting a Furnished Apartment

trong>

• Is the price guaranteed? -Always get this in writing. When people are pressed for time, the chance of spotting something irregular or misleading is decreased dramatically.
• Would the price drop if I were to book for a longer time frame? This is a good question to ask during those off season times when it is mutually advantageous to both parties to encourage longer term stays.
• Are there extra fees for utilities or are they included? Small print can be deceiving.
• How about that high speed Wi-fi? Is it actually fast?
  
• Is the phone service for limited local calling or am I charged for long distance? This question people never ask but I know of companies with disreputable practices and this is one of those that can snag a person unwittingly.
• Can the phone receive calls from another country without a problem? VERY IMPORTANT for our European friends.
• Is the TV service the bare minimum or are premium channels included? For those vacationing, you’re going to rack up some TV time, so why not enjoy it?
• What about Pay Per View? Sports fanatics have asked about this before, so if you have any deep seated fan roots and need to watch every game, make sure you don’t miss out.
• Is the Parking included? It should be. In high trafficked areas, parking is a premium and it’s not getting better.
• How many spots do I get and can I pay for an extra spot? Tandem spots may be arranged if the company can provide them and it’s definitely worth it to ask if there is a second car.
  
• Is this underground or covered parking? This is not as important as it is in cold climate areas. In cities with a hard winter approaching, you’d better believe this is a must.
