Hello,

My name is Christophe and I saw your message regarding your interest in renting my flat.

The apartment is still available, the monthly rent for the whole apartment is 500 EUR per month, utilities included (TV/Internet, electricity, water, parking place for one car).

I worked in Belgium for a Multifunctional Center for Social Services. Now I have been promoted to a better position in United Kingdom and I decided to rent the apartment for the time that I will have to work here. Now I'm out of Belgium and if you want to rent my flat, I will hire a real estate agency to do the rental transaction. I want to tell you that I am looking for a serious, responsible and clean person to rent the apartment that will take care of the apartment as it were its own. So I would like to know more details about yourself: How old are you, if you are married, if you have a pet, occupation etc.

I wait your email if you're still interested, I can also send you more photos with the apartment.

Sincerely,
Christophe

Hello,

I've attached photos with the apartment and I hope to be on your taste.
I want to rent the apartment fully furnished as you can see in the photos, but if you have your furniture we can arrange this aspect.

At this time the apartment is vacant and you can move when you want after we finalize all formalities. You can rent the apartment for a minimum period of 2 months. The maximum period is 2 years (as stipulated by law) with possibility of extension.

The deposit is 1.000 Eur (totally refundable at the end of your stay). Total amount to move in my flat is 500 Eur (Monthly rent) + 1.000 Eur (Deposit) = 1.500 EUR

I've already spoken to an agency of this kind that is named Homeaway. They handle all necessary documents and also I'll pay the fees charged by them. I will make the pre-contract with the agency here to leave the keys in their custody and they will contact you with the required rental formalities so you can make the necessary payment deposit to move in (deposit + first month). When the agency confirms your bank deposit they will send the keys to Belgium so you can go with their agents to visit the apartment and sign the final contract.

- In the case, after your visit with the real-estate agents, you don't like the flat, in 24 hours the agency will make you full refund (without any fees). I don't think that will be the case because the apartment is very clean and tidy, as you can see in the pictures.

If you agree with my conditions send me your personal details so that I can go to the agency to start the renting formalities:

Your full name, address and phone number:
Nationality:
The day when you want to move in:
How many months / years you estimate to stay:
I would also like to know how many people will live there and if you can send me a copy of your identity card or passport, it might be necessary to the real estate agency.

I appreciate your interest in renting my flat and even thinking about a future friendship.

Best regards,
Christophe

In order to complete the renting procedure this is what must be done:

Step 1: I send your personal information to HomeAway and they will contact you with the pre-contract in which are mentioned the RENTING and PAYMENT DETAILS.
Step 2: You must make the payment in the agency bank account mentioned in the contract IN ORDER FOR THEM TO VERIFY THAT YOU ARE A REAL CLIENT.
Step 3: After you make the payment, you must send the receipt to them for CONFIRMATION.
Step 4: After the payment is confirmed, YOU WILL VISIT THE APARTMENT WITH ONE OF THEIR AGENTS.
Step 5: After the visit is performed, you can move in immediately and the agent will give you the keys, or you can cancel the deal and HomeAway will give you a full refund within 24h.

Read very carefully the steps and try to understand them and after you do so, please give me a firm answer if you want to start the renting procedure or not. I inform you that I will have to pay taxes to HomeAway in order to start the procedure, so please be sure.

I am waiting for your answer.
