Rental listings move quickly in the busiest towns. Going into viewings with a short list of questions helps you compare properties fairly and avoid surprises once you have moved in.
What exactly is included?
Ask whether the rent covers common expenses for the building, furniture, appliances and air-conditioning units, and who pays for water, electricity and internet.
How are the deposit and fees handled?
Find out how much deposit is required, how it is held and under what conditions it is returned. Ask whether the agent charges the tenant a fee, and if so, what it covers.
What does the lease say about repairs?
Clarify who is responsible for repairs and maintenance, how to report a problem and how quickly the landlord is expected to respond.
Document the condition on day one
Ask for an inventory, and take dated photos of each room when you move in. It makes the end of the tenancy far simpler for everyone.
Check the agent’s registration
Estate agents in Cyprus must be registered and licensed. A registered agent can show you their licence details on request.
