- Bills are addressed to the owner who is going to forward them to the renter each time after getting them .
Is the owner obliged to provide furniture, kitchen appliances, bedding, etc?
No, the owner does not have to provide any of the above list mentioned. Although, on the other side, a property providing as much of these things as possible it will be easier to rent.
Deposit payment rights and obligations when reserving a rental.

The amount of money to be quoted as “DEPOSIT” can vary : from a minimum of 200€ to maximum of one month rental.
If the renter backs out he loses the payment.
