Thank you for your response!
The apartment is still available for a long-term rent and exactly as you can see it in the pictures.
Rent includes water and electricity.
Registration at the address is possible.
As I mentioned in my first email, Chester, England is my current place of residence. I am ready to travel as soon as possible back to the Germany to sort out the lease. I came back once already for a supposed tenant that realized he didn't have enough funds so I need to be sure before I come and understand my proposal. That is the way I entrusted Booking.com which offers a simple control process for owners and new tenants. They will check me as the owner of the apartment and you as a potential tenant.

Here is a brief description of the process:
- As owner I need to submit to Booking.com information about rental agreement ,copies of some documents;
- After Booking.com accepts the transaction and complete the verification of the documents has to contact you as potential tenant and check if you have enough money to rent the apartment;
- After I receive the confirmation I get back to Germany to show and sign the lease contract;

If you agree with the process, please provide the following information:
- Complete name of the future tenant;
- Current address ( street , city , country, zip code );
- Telephone number;
- I also need a copy of your ID or passport to complete the lease agreement

The price you shall pay for 1 month of rent will be 710,00 € and I want also deposit 1420,00 € ( the deposit 1420,00 € you will receive back when you leave the apartment ), with no extra taxes to pay. The rent , I want to receive it monthly to my bank account, so I hope it will be no problem for you to wire the money .
When I have the details Booking.com will contact you but you need to be sure before my coming from England so it has to be fully interest from your side .
Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks for your time!

Ok, This is my passport.
This is how the process is working.
I will give Booking all my document and Documents regarding the apartment.
Booking will check to see if everything is in order. If all the bills are paid, and all that stuff.
I use Booking.com service only at the beginning , to find a tenant because I was once in Germany to meet with a potential tenant and he did not have enough money to rent it .
You will have to make a deposit in a blocked Booking account of 1 month rent + deposit. The deposit that you need to make in a blocked Booking account will stay there until you will confirm that you will rent my apartment. As soon as your deposit it`s done and confirmed by Booking.com ( maximum 2 working days ) , I will come to meet with you.
Booking.com will release the money to me only after you arrived in my apartment and after to decide to rent it. If you will not be satisfied with the apartment Booking.com will release the funds (in full amount) back to you in the same day.
After you inspect the apartment and decide to rent it, we will make a fixed rent contract regarding German law between us.
So please let me know if you agree with my terms .

Thanks for your time!
