To book a furnished Apartment, a reservation deposit equivalent to 30% of the first month’s rent is required, this amount is based on the monthly rent of the Apartment as shown on our website;

A receipt will be issued to you and a confirmation from RAGQ will follow to finalize the reservation. Since all our units are leased for periods of one month or more, the certainty is less obvious. For example, a site visit of the selected unit, a reservation by phone or a “Request for Information” in advance may be in progress.
