  • If you would like to terminate the contract before the start of your tenancy, please view our cancellation policy in section
  • Requests for termination should be emailed to support@renthia.com.

b).  Cancellation policy

The following Cancellation Policy applies to all signed contracts.

Before the contract has been signed you can cancel the contract at any time and you won’t get charged for it. Cancellations and terminations are valid only if received in writing to support@renthia.com.

60 days to 30 days before move-in date

  • The tenant will not be charged.
  • If the tenant cancels their contract between the period 60 days to 30 days before the move-in date, the tenant will not be charged.

30 days to 15 days before move-in date

  • The tenant will be charged with 50 % of the rent (half of the rent).
  • If the tenant cancels their contract between the period 30 days to 15 days before the move-in date, half of the rent (50%) will be charged.

15 days until move-in date

  • The tenant will be charged with 100 % of the rent (One full month’s rent).
  • If the tenant cancels their contract within 15 days before the move-in date, one full month’s rent (100%) will be charged.
  • Any exceptions to above stated cancellations, would be based on Force Majeure and/or at the landlord’s discretion.
  • In addition to this, tenant’s at Renthia.com has a notice period of 1 calendar month, which applies after the tenant has moved into their home. The notice period for owners/landlord is 3 calendar months.

Example of notice period:

A tenant terminates his contract 4th of November, with 1 calendar month in notice period, the tenant will need to pay full rent for December as well (until 31st of December.)

If the same tenant instead would terminate the contract 30th of November, the tenant would still pay to 31st of December, as there needs to be one completely full month of payment in addition to whatever days are remaining in the current month where termination was sent.

Do not mistake 1 calendar months’ notice period for 30 days.

Above written notice periods may differ, in which case what is stated in your contract is what applies in regards to the length of the notice period for tenants and homeowners.

When cancellations or restrictions are due to a force majeure circumstance such as the COVID-19 epidemic, customers are not bound to pay the rent.

This means that the tenant is not obligated to pay anything and that the invoice will be credited.

Flight bans and canceled flights due to for example, Covid19 or war, inform us at support@renthia.com.

Two things can be done if the cancellation is due to a Force Majeure circumstance:
