Hi,
Me and my friend are moving to Barcelona in June and are finding it really hard to find an apartment. We are moving for 6 months to 1 year and have been on plenty of websites looking for apartments. When we find a suitable apartment they want us to pay the first months rent upfront which is fine but they are also asking for two months rent that we do not get back which is agency fees then another 300€ for extra agency fees and then two months deposit that we get back at the end of our stay. Altogether they are expecting us to pay almost 6 months rent up front! We are finding it really hard as you can imagine this is really expensive. When we have found some cheaper websites we have read the reviews and some people claim they are scams. Does anybody know any trustworthy websites that we could rent property off that don’t ask for this amount of money? Or know anybody that could help?
Kind regards
