1. How to begin
   • The easiest way is to e-mail or telephone us the ID numbers (every advertisement has an ID number in the upper right corner) or your general requirements (your budget, property size, number of persons, lease duration, furnishings, and other special requirements such as Internet, parking, etc.).
   • E-mails are processed during the course of the day, wait for our response please, our brokers are preparing an offer for you.

2. Viewings
   • According to your schedule, your personal broker will organize viewings successively, if possible. Our aim is to save your time. Viewings can also be arranged on the weekends, upon prior agreement.

3. Reservations
   • In case you have chosen a property and cannot conclude a lease contract immediately, you risk loosing the property to another client. We recommend a binding reservation, which consists of concluding a simple reservation contract and paying a reservation fee. The reservation fee amounts to one month’s rent + 20% VAT. Upon the conclusion of the reservation contract the owner of the property is obliged to stop advertising the property.

4. Lease contract, deposit, rent and utilities
   • A long term lease contract is concluded for at least 12 months or an unspecified period of time.
   • HHR always provides bilingual contracts (CZ/ENG). Contracts can be provided in other languages upon request.
   • A lease contract for an unspecified period of time in the Czech Republic can be terminated with a 3 month’s notice.
   • Upon concluding a lease contract, the owner of the property will require a refundable deposit, usually amounting to one or two month’s rent. This deposit will be returned to you at the end of your lease, after the owner of the property inspects the property and its furnishings. The owner is entitled to use this deposit to cover any damages inflicted in the duration of your lease, or rent or utilities payments.
   • Rent is usually paid monthly, by bank transfer.
   • Commercial space rentals are subject to VAT.
   • Various payments connected with the use of the property (electricity, gas, water, garbage disposal and common area services) are not included in the rent.
   • Contracts with energy providers can be concluded in your name or in the name of the property owner. In the latter case the owner is obliged to provide you with the proper balance based on your energy consumption and actual invoices at least once a year.
   • The HHR agency fee for the conclusion of the lease contract and service during the entire course of your lease is one month’s rent + 20% VAT. We will be happy to help you with any problems you may encounter during the entire course of your lease and its termination.

5. Handover of the property to the lessee
   • A property handover always takes place in the presence of the property owner and an HRR broker.
   • A handover protocol will be completed, including the up to date energy consumption (electricity, gas and water), number of keys and description of all damages on the property.
   • If you are interested, we can also provide photographical documentation of the state of the property at the handover.

6. Lease termination
   • The lease is terminated on the date it has expired or after a 3 month’s notice.
   • The termination notice must be delivered in writing and sent via registered mail to the property owner.
   • When intending to terminate your lease, please inform HHR and avoid unnecessary complications.
