Furnish it: ≈ US$ 1,346 plus your own time shopping and assembling, one time. An estimate, not a payment: we use it to compare furnished and unfurnished listings on equal terms.

The listing states this building fee but never says whether the rent includes it. By market practice the tenant pays it, so we have counted it. Worth confirming before you sign.

Costs are estimates. Actual terms depend on negotiation with landlord/agent. Unitrank receives no part of any of these charges. · Calculated for a stay of 12 months

Caución insurance guarantee required.

Pay a deposit or rent only once you are inside the apartment, with the keys in hand. A request to pay before you visit, especially crypto-only or into a personal account, is the most common rental scam.

Ask the Scout to get it for you

The agency works for the listing. The Scout works for you.

Any agency commission is charged by the listing side, and going direct through the original listing does not remove it. We receive no part of it. The Scout costs you nothing: where we are paid, it is by the owner side, at the same rate for every apartment, never by you. Who works for whom

The Scout, free for you: verifies the listing, arranges the viewing and sees you through to signing. Nothing we earn comes from you: where we are paid, it is by the owner side, at the same rate for every apartment, so your choice never changes what the Scout earns.
