Did You Know?

A few things most tenants only find out after it's too late.

01

Not every scratch needs a repair.

A landlord may try to charge you for what's actually normal wear and tear — knowing the difference before you pay is what matters.

02

A full renovation isn't what you need before moving out.

Often a spot touch-up on one wall or a single replaced tile is enough — not re-doing the whole apartment.

03

Before/after photos settle a dispute faster than a repair crew.

A well-documented condition — before and after the small fixes — clears up most landlord objections on its own.

04

In 90% of cases, landlords don't return the deposit in full.

The reasons are almost always the same and known in advance — you can deal with them before handing back the keys, not after.

Mistakes That Cost Renters Money When They Move Out

Things most tenants find out too late — we go through them for your specific situation.

Overdoing It

Repairing things that aren't even damage is money down the drain

Wrong Contractor

A regular repair crew doesn't know what landlords check at handover — and won't get your full deposit back

Small Details

One missed scratch or nail hole can cost you part of your deposit

The Result

No unnecessary repairs — and no deposit withheld

What Tenants Say

“Only paid for what was actually necessary”

I was afraid the contractor would find a ton of extra work. They fixed exactly what could have cost me part of my deposit — not a euro more.

Kristina, tenant

“Didn't end up paying to fix what turned out to be normal wear”

I almost paid to repaint walls that had simply faded over time. They explained the difference — saved me a few hundred euros.

Roman, tenant

“One nail hole — and it was all sorted in a single visit”

I thought it would turn into a whole negotiation. The contractor came, fixed it, they sent before-and-after photos — that was enough.

How It Works

From your free consultation to the deposit in your account — seven steps, no surprises along the way.

  1. 00

    15-Minute Consultation

    We go over your situation for free and explain what actually needs doing — before we fix anything.

  2. 01

    Send Photos & Lease

    Photos of the apartment from move-in and now, plus your lease (or the part covering deposit conditions).

  3. 02

    We Assess It

    We review the condition from your photos and send you a repair estimate.

  4. 03

    You Approve the Estimate

    You agree to the price — we schedule the work.

  5. 04

    We Do the Repairs

    Careful, on-time work — nothing extra, no rushing.

  6. 05

    You Hand Back the Keys

    You hand the apartment back to your landlord, knowing the necessary repairs are already done.

  7. 06

    You Get Your Deposit

    Your deposit comes back in full — no deductions for anything we already fixed.

If You Rented a Furnished Apartment

Furniture damage and wear are also a common reason deposits get withheld — but not every withholding is legal: renting furnished means normal wear is expected.

Damage

Furniture with burn marks (cigarette, iron, candle)

Normal wear

Worn-down upholstery on a sofa or armchair

Damage

A chip or crack in a tabletop from impact

Normal wear

Sun-faded curtain or upholstery fabric

Normal wear

Loose cabinet hinges or a creaky chair from regular use

Damage

Torn upholstery or deep scratches from sharp objects

Frequently Asked Questions

What people usually ask before sending us photos and their lease.

Is it really free?

Yes — the 15-minute consultation and photo assessment cost nothing. You only pay for the repairs themselves, and only if you decide to go ahead.

How long do repairs take?

Usually 3–5 days once you approve the estimate. The exact timeline depends on the scope of work — we agree on it upfront so it's done before you hand back the keys.

What if the estimate costs more than the deposit at risk?

We'll tell you honestly at the assessment stage. If it's not worth it, you're free to walk away — you pay nothing.

What if I don't agree with the estimate?

You're not obligated to accept it. We can talk through the details, or you can walk away entirely — no strings attached.

Do you only work in Barcelona?

For now, yes. If you're renting just outside the city, reach out — we'll look at your situation individually.

What if I only rent a room, not the whole apartment?

We work with rooms too — the same deposit and wear-and-tear rules apply as for a full apartment.
