TENANT VERIFICATION REQUEST BY HOMEAWAY AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR xxxxxx
3 STEPS ON HOW TO GET VERIFIED AS A POTENTIAL TENANT
1. The Potential Tenant will deposit 1 month of rent + € 1,700.00 security deposit to HomeAway using Bank-to-Bank Wire Transfer. The deposit will remain with HomeAway until the Potential Tenant will meet the Host, inspect the house and takes a decision. The deposit will remain locked with HomeAway and only the Potential Tenant -xxxxxxx- will be able to unlock the funds.
2. After we receive and secure the deposit from the Potential Tenant, HomeAway will guarantee the tenant -xxxxxx- to any Host or Property Manager listed with HomeAway.

The Host involved in this agreement -Jose Miguel Rubi Gomez [email protected] - will receive a letter of guarantee from HomeAway informing him that HomeAway is in possession of a deposit (1 month of rent + € 1,700.00 security deposit) that represents the rent amount established by him regarding the property located at Großer Hasenpfad 80, 60598 Frankfurt am Main.
The Host will be advised to meet and take all measures to complete the rental agreement.
3. The Potential Tenant will meet with the Host and inspect the property personally.
After the Potential Tenant inspects the property he must decide regarding the completion of the rental agreement. The Potential Tenant has two options:
Sign the rental agreement and immediately HomeAway will transfer the deposit to the Host's bank account.
Does not sign the rental agreement and immediately HomeAway will return the deposit (the complete amount € 2.800,00 without retaining any fees) to the Potential Tenant's bank account (return time is no longer than 24 hours after receiving tenant's refund request).
ATTENTION: In both cases HomeAway will not unlock or move the deposit without the tenant's exact instructions. Only the Potential Tenant -xxxxx- can access the funds.

IMPORTANT: The first available agent will automatically be assigned to your transaction by our system. We have escrow agents in the following countries: United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Austria, Italy, Malta , France, Poland, Australia, Japan.

Hey ,

Nice to hear from you!
I am the owner of the apartment, situated in Veteranenstr. 24 , 10119 Berlin .
I attached pictures with my apartment .

Bedrooms: 1
Bathrooms: 1
Living Area approx: 56.20 m²

The apartment is fully furnished and renovated . You can use my furniture, or you can also use your own if you prefer. If you decide to use yours, you can store my furniture in the large basement cellar.
The monthly rent price is 970,00 €, including all utilities (gas / electricity / phone / cable / internet / parking / heating), and its for an indefinite period.
The apartment is in good condition, clean and ready to use. The kitchen is fully equipped.
In the apartment you find a refrigerator, a freezer, a washing machine, a dryer, an iron, an oven, a toaster, coffee maker, Internet access and Wi-Fi access.
We have the apartment since January 2015 and we lived there until last month,then my work contract ended and we returned home to Palma de Mallorca , Spain .
The apartment has public transport near and not far away of shopping center, sports club and other amenities. Pets are allowed, but I ask you everything to be kept clean.
The apartment has a parking place. I have invested a substantial amount in this apartment and would be very grateful if you we would treat like being your own
property. I am interested in a long-term tenant who cares about the property not to earn money by rental income .
Because of my unexpected return to Spain its been short time to find a reliable tenant. I have the keys. Once I find a serious tenant I come back to Germany, to show it and sign the lease.

Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks for your time!
