The most common payment scheme in Montenegro is payment upon arrival of the first, last month and an insurance refundable deposit of one more month. For example, if you want to rent an apartment for 1000 euros, you will most likely need 3000 euros.
Some owners are reluctant to sign a notarial contract due to personal beliefs, additional taxes and lack of necessary documents. In our work, we always ask if they need a notarial contract and if so, we already negotiate with each owner individually.
A notarized real estate lease agreement for a year is a mandatory document required to apply for a residence permit (Boravak). In addition, this document has significantly more weight than a notarized contract.
There are four options: - You pay them to the owner in cash together with the rent; - You pay utilities to the owner by bank transfer; - You pay for utilities at a bank branch; - Utilities are included in the price.
We highly do not recommend arranging a pet and keeping it in an apartment without the owner's knowledge. If your pet does not make loud noises, does not smell and does not spoil the property, then many owners will agree to move you in. As a rule, you will need to make an additional deposit for a pet when you move in.
As a rule, in this case, you will not be refunded the deposit or the deposit + the last month of rent. The conditions of a premature congress are prescribed in the contract and may differ from the above.
This service is completely free. Our agency services are paid only for the completed transaction and only by the owner.
