• Method B:

If a potential tenant does not complete the contractual process within 24 hours after you have accepted the reservation request, there may have been a problem with the transfer of funds to cover the first rent. It can happen that a transfer takes longer than our deadline and delays the whole process. When this happens, Flatio asks the tenant to send proof of payment to you or to our customer service. If we are satisfied that the tenant has completed everything correctly and the issue is only that the transfer is slow, then the rest of your contractual process with the tenant may be considered completed.

However, in the rare cases that a tenant does not send a payment receipt or does not respond when we ask them to finish the contract process, and you have not agreed on any other terms with this tenant, then the landlord has the right to withdraw from the lease agreement. Once again, you can do this in My Rentals.
