General information:

We manage the seasonal rental of rooms to university students, Spanish courses students and trainees in our own flats or those of individual owners who have exceeded our minimum quality requirements in order for Room2rent to offer comfortable and satisfactory stays to our customers.
Our aim is to offer personal, familiar and close treatment with the sole objective of providing a useful service to all tenants throughout their stay in Valencia, in order to achieve this we coordinate all contract management and maintenance of the flats, we also mediate between external landlords and tenants if needed and we offer our help in case of difficulties and/or to answer any questions that the tenants may have so that they do not have to worry about anything.
All our flats have living room, one bathroom, kitchen and of course private rooms that are subject to rent. The flats are fully furnished and equipped with kitchen utensils, appliances, towels and bed linen, our flats are noted for their location, mostly in the lively student neighborhood of Benimaclet, very close to universities and schools specialized in intensive Spanish courses.
Flats offer mixed accommodation, boys and girls, and no pets are allowed. Each tenant occupies a room and is not responsible for the occupation of the rest of the rooms. The price of the rooms, which include flat maintenance, varies depending on several factors:

A small notice board in the common area..
The owner of the apartment ensures the proper functioning of all the facilities of the flat (electricity, gas, plumbing, etc..) and all the goods, including appliances (washing machine, fridge, iron, etc..). The owner will repair such goods during the duration of this contract. It is understood that this commitment does not exist when the damage is caused by students misuse or neglecting (see clause B 9 of the contract). Except for this maintenance service, the owner is not obliged to provide any other additional services, such as laundry, periodic cleaning of the rooms, meals, or any other typical of the hospitality industry.
The tenant, upon occupying the flat, will be provided a set of keys to access the flat (one of the building entrance, and one of the flat front door) for his personal use, as well as one of the door of the student’s room, which will be given back to the owner at the end of the student’s stay. On the flat there will be a mailbox key available to all the tenants.
In order to promote a university environment in the flats, the owner agrees with the tenant to rent rooms during your stay only to university or postgraduate students or to graduate trainees, or students preparing for public examinations.

Tenant obligations:

The tenant will use the room exclusively as his personal residence, so you cannot sublet to others or use it for commercial purposes.

The tenant agrees to pay the monthly rent established in the first page of the contract (where  only the flat details, price and names of the parties are specified). This amount will be paid even if the tenant leaves the house temporarily, for holidays or for other reasons, during the months of agreed stay .

Payments will be made to Room2rent within the last week of each month. Room2rent must submit a signed receipt for each payment, specifying the amount paid, the concept of payment and date.

The landlord and tenant agree to deposit the amount of the deposit in Room2rent bank account, that will mediate in case of conflict. Room2rent will return the deposit to the student, upon request, when you finish your stay in the flat, if the student complies with the obligations of this contract (in no case will the deposit serve to pay the last month’s rent).

The deposit will be kept by Room2rent should once signed the contract (see clause C5), the student does not finally occupy the room.

Exceptionally,  money needed to replace disappeared items or to mend any damages to the property or its belongings will be deducted from the deposit, always when these incidents are not due to a normal and reasonable use. If the cause of the damage is not identified, all tenants will be jointly liable with their respective deposits, being able to exercise appropriate action against the person responsible for the damage.
