Hello,
I am apartment hunting in Granada next week, and I wondered if someone could please help by letting me know how apartment renting works. I’ve been looking on Pisos.com, Enaquiler.come, etc. I’ve been sending notes to the “contact info” people to set up appointments. It seems like when a person wants to see an apartment, it is sometimes shown by an “agency,” rather than by the landlord?? I’m not sure what this means. And I have also read that agencies can help you, but you need to pay a month’s rent. I don’t really need help from an agency - I’m setting up appointments myself. But do you know whether they are going to charge me, just for spending 15 minutes to show me the apartment? This would be very surprising…... I also don’t know if you need to bring references, or a resume, or proof of income or anything when you go to see the apartment… I’ve never had to do this, but I know you need to in big US cities like New York. I don’t want to get there an not have what I need.
I’d love any advice people might give.
Thanks so much!
HeidiTC
