​​               RESERVATION

>      How do I make the reservation?

o      First you have to find your ideal apartment/room. You can be guided by the photos, plans and/or videos that you will find in each property.

o      Once you have found the apartment/room that suits your dates of stay, click on the “I want to book” button and fill out the form with your information so that we can contact you. One of our agents will contact you to confirm that the property is available for your dates, in case something does not fit, it will suggest other dates or another property.

o      Once you receive this information and if you agree with everything, contact the agent and tell him/her that you are interested in making a reservation

o      The agent will send you a reservation link, in which you can attach the necessary documents to write your contract.

o      By sending the documents, the agent will accept or reject your application.

o      If the reservation is ACCEPTED, it will send you an email with a link to sign the contract online and a link so you can make the payment automatically and safely.

>      Who can live in our flats?

Those that appear in the contract. In case of renting a room in a shared flat, remember that all our flats are MIXED and that the overnight stays of other people are not allowed.

>      What is the duration of the contract?

We will prefer contracts of 10 to 12 months duration. Keep in mind that our contracts are MANDATORY COMPLIANCE; that is, you have to fulfill your payment commitment from the beginning to the end of the contract, even if you stop using the property before the end of it./

>      What are the payment terms?

There are four concepts in terms of payment:

o      The DEPOSIT: Equivalent to one month’s rent and we will keep it until the end of your stay. If your room/apartment is in perfect condition when your contract ends and just as we delivered it to you, this deposit will be returned to you in full up to 30 days after the end of your contract. In the event that there is any damage, the proportional part of the damage caused will be deducted from this deposit.

o      The AGENCY: Equivalent to one month’s rent +21% VAT

o      The MONTHLY PAYMENT: it is made by bank transfer between the 28th and the 3rd of each month, or through credit/debit card payment at our virtual POS on those same dates

o      The PROVISION OF SUPPLIES: Our apartments/rooms DO NOT have the costs of electricity, water, WiFi and gas included in the price (although these services are registered) so you must pay a provision of supplies to cover these expenses up to until your final settlement arrives, in which we will make the calculation between your real invoices and what was provisioned, in case your provision has been greater than the real cost, the remaining amount will be returned to you together with your deposit, otherwise, you will have to pay the amount that you have surpassed LivingMad.

Payments are made in 2 steps:

o      The DEPOSIT + the AGENCY to guarantee your reservation – within 2 business days after receiving the place offer.

o      The payment of the FIRST MONTHLY PAYMENT + FIRST SUPPLY PROVISION before the effective date of your contract.

o Subsequently, monthly rent payments + provision of supplies will be made between the 28th and 3rd of each month through bank transfer or through our website.

>      Is the deposit returned?

Yes, as long as you don’t break anything – including the stay required by the contract.

>      What is the cancellation policy?

The cancellation policy is STRICT. The reservation deposit WILL NOT BE REFUNDED if it is canceled less than 90 days in advance. The payment of the agency commission will not be returned in any case.
