How can I be sure that my apartment and its contents will not be mistreated or damaged?
It is important not to leave personal belongings in your rental home.
Our team carries out a thorough inventory when we take over management of your property. Every tenant at check-in is required to sign off on the digital inventory. Any consequent damage is charged to their deposit. Mechanical faults in the apartment are covered by the landlord. Dasha will send you a budget to fix anything that might break down (eg. air conditioning unit) during a tenant’s stay.
We provide all our tenants with a manual specifying the expected code of conduct during their stay, in order to minimize any problem with the community or with the neighbours.
What other services should I provide?

Do I need furniture to rent my apartment through DASHA LIVING SPACE?
Our model focuses on providing corporate housing for relocated professionals for short to medium term stays (periods up to 11 months). That is why all our properties must be equipped with everything necessary for the tenant to enjoy their stay.
DASHA LIVING SPACE offers a 360 degree service in terms of decorating your home and equipping it with everything you would require to maximize your rental. Let us know your needs and we can provide a budget.

For the purposes of the tenant DASHA will be responsible for all the management of the apartment on behalf of the owner.
What is my profile for?
Dasha has developed a platform for managing your home. In your profile, we will upload all the information associated with your home and your stay.
From the platform you can see:
How do I select a property?
When you access the home page, you will see filters for:
If you are not sure on the length of your stay, we recommend you choose the longest period you might stay as that way you block those dates on the calendar. If you decide to leave earlier, you simply need to give us 1 month’s notice in writing.
If you decide to stay longer than your reservation, you need to check availability of your property online. If your property is available you can create a new reservation (prices may vary) online. You may also request the DASHA team to create an extension for you at a fee of 45€.
When you select your dates for your stay, you will see all available listings for your dates display. Click into your preferred listing and you will see the TOTAL display on the right of the description of the apartment. We offer serviced apartments so the TOTAL you see comes with RENT, UTILITIES, CLEANING (in most listings) and our SERVICE FEE.
Photos, plans, and virtual tours of the property, as well as a description of the location and equipment provided with the apartment are all communicated under DESCRIPTION of the apartment.
These serviced apartments are designed for tenants who need a home for a certain period of time. Therefore, Dasha provides its customers with hotel services including cleaning, change of sheets and towels, maintenance and other services to help you feel at home. If your home does not come with cleaning included, you can request cleaning from our team.
What happens to the booking if DASHA rejects it?
In case DASHA LIVING SPACE could not provide the rental service for reasons arising from the property or the property itself, the company promises to find another apartment of similar qualities for the tenant. If there is nothing available, we will refund your reservation deposit.
How are controversies solved?
Regarding the resolution of disputes, Spanish legislation will be applied, with the courts and tribunals of the city of Valencia being competent. In concern to compliance with Directive 2013/11 / EU, the following link is made available to the consumer: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/main/?event=main.home2.show

We apply a €45 + VAT admin fee to lease extensions, to cover the additional administrative work and processing involved in lease extensions.
What happens if I exceed my utilities allowance?
At Dasha Living Space, we’ve incorporated an estimate of your utility consumption into your monthly rent to prevent any unnecessary additional payments. This estimate is tailored to the size of your flat and takes into account previous consumption patterns. Should you surpass the estimated consumption already factored into your monthly payments, we will either deduct this excess amount from your deposit or apply a balance adjustment to your invoice every quarter.
Detailed information regarding the estimated utility amounts is clearly outlined in your contract, along with the procedures to follow should you exceed your allowance. This ensures transparency and clarity regarding utility usage and associated charges.
Is it possible to pay expenses in advance?
Payments of expenses in advance can be done in those rentals less than two months.

How much is the deposit and when is it returned?
The deposit amount is determined by the number of bedrooms in the apartment:
For stays lasting more than 6 months, the deposit will be doubled.
Your deposit will be reimbursed after the inventory and check-out process, factoring in any excess of consumption of utilities (electricity and water) during your stay. Any damages to the apartment or inventory will be quantified and deducted from your deposit.
The return of your deposit is typically processed within a maximum of 15 days after your departure. We strive to ensure a prompt and transparent resolution for our valued residents.
What is the deposit used for?
The deposit will be utilized to address any damage or loss of inventory that may occur to the property during your stay. This includes normal wear and tear (e.g., stains on furnishings, marks on furniture or walls, etc.). Dasha reserves the right to charge for any additional cleaning required at check-out to restore your apartment to its original state.
