2. How to visit an apartment without having to come out to visit?

All of the photos of our apartments are recent and taken, for the most part, by us and are therefore true to reality. In addition, the listing for each property contains a lot of information allowing you to get a precise idea of your future accommodation including details of the services and equipment, opinions left by former tenants, information on the neighborhood, etc. Each apartment sheet also offers an interactive map that allows you to have a 2D overview of the property and display the photos and the equipment details by room.

Many apartments have, in addition to the interactive map, an immersive Virtual Tour which allows you to visit the accommodation online without having to travel. These apartments are indicated by the symbol "360 °" (to display only this type of property, you can check the box "Display only apartments with virtual visit" in the search filters).

If the apartment you are interested in does not have a Virtual Visit and you want to visit it despite confinement and sanitary measures of social distancing, we now offer a new type of guided tour in live video. If conditions allow, we can organize a Guided E-Visit for you! Ask your agent for more information.

Finally, if you want to travel to physically visit the apartment before booking it, we have applied protective health measures in order to lower the risk of contamination during the visit.

3. How do I enter the premises after the end of the confinement period?

Here is the procedure implemented by Lodgis to support you during this stage, while respecting sanitary measures and protecting your health and that of the property owner:

• Before entering the premises:
  • Handing over the keys and signing the inventory must be organized by the owner.
  • To avoid travel as much as possible, we invite you to organize an appointment with the owner in a neutral location that you have determined by mutual agreement.
  • Before leaving, print the necessary displacement certificate by checking the box "for compelling family reasons". If you don't have a printer, you can copy it manually onto free paper or generate it online (Click HERE).
  • Bring your rental contract (ideally printed).
  • Bring your own pen for signing the inventory and handing over the keys, hand sanitizer and wear a mask if possible.
• While entering the premises:
  • Respect the social distancing measures by staying at least 1 meter away from your owner and avoid any physical contact with them.
  • The owner will give you the already disinfected keys in an envelope.
  • When entering the apartment, you cannot be accompanied by the owner.

Once you have entered the premises on your own, inform the owner within 10 days of all the remarks related to the condition of the apartment in order to change the condition of the premises.

4. How to leave the premises during de-containment?

Here is the procedure implemented by Lodgis to support you during this stage, while respecting sanitary measures and protecting your health and that of the property owner:

• Take photos of the condition of the apartment and any objects you may have damaged during your stay so that you can quickly communicate them to the owner.
• When you leave the apartment, you cannot be accompanied by the owner. There will be a simple delivery of the keys which you will have previously disinfected and put in an envelope.
• Respect the social distancing measures by staying at least 1 meter away from your owner and avoid physical contact with him, bring hand sanitizer and a mask if possible.
• You will return the disinfected keys in an envelope to the owner in front of the apartment.
• If you have already left the apartment, you must do everything necessary to give the keys to the owner before the end of the notice to allow them to make an inventory of fixtures and therefore be able to return the deposit within the prescribed time by the rental contract.
• The owner will take stock of the exit after your departure.

All of our apartments are fully cleaned between each rental.
In addition, the apartments remain unoccupied for several days between two rentals in order to avoid any risk of contamination.
