⚠️Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Choosing a neighborhood based solely on price without exploring the environment.

• Ignoring extra costs like building fees or utilities.

• Signing a contract without reading the fine print or understanding local requirements.

• Moving too quickly without testing your daily routine in the area.

🏠Renting Basics

• Leases are usually 1–2 years; review terms, guarantees, and deposits carefully.

• Most rentals require a local guarantor or a deposit equal to several months’ rent.

• Some leases include conndominium fees (“expensas”), others do not—and they can be expensive!

• Never sign without reading and understanding everything; request translations if needed.

🏙️Neighborhood Life

• Explore cafés, supermarkets, parks, and public transport before deciding.

• Walk around the neighborhood at different times to gauge safety and atmosphere.

• Check where daily services are located (pharmacies, schools, banks).

• Talk to neighbors or other expats for a realistic view of the area.
