LOFTZ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about renting with LOFTZ.

How do I book a room?
Browse available rooms, open the one you like and send a booking request with your details and dates. We'll confirm availability and next steps by email — no account needed.
Do I pay any booking fees?
No. Booking directly with LOFTZ is free — there are no service or booking fees, unlike the listing platforms. You pay your rent and a security deposit, nothing extra to us for booking.
What's included in the rent?
Rent is all-inclusive: water, electricity, gas, cleaning of common areas and high-speed internet are covered. Your monthly payment is what you see on the room page.
Is there a deposit?
Yes, a security deposit is typically required and refunded at the end of your stay, subject to the condition of the room. The exact amount and terms are in your contract.
Do I get a registered contract?
Yes. Every tenancy comes with a proper, registered rental contract and receipts — useful for visa, residency and NIF applications.
What is the minimum stay?
Minimum stay varies by room and is shown in the booking conditions on each room page. Most rooms suit a semester or academic-year stay.
How do I pay the rent?
Rent is paid monthly, usually by bank transfer. We'll share the payment details and schedule once your booking is confirmed.
Can I visit before booking?
Absolutely. Use the "Schedule a visit" option on any room page and we'll arrange a time — in person or a video walkthrough if you're abroad.
I'm moving from another country — can I book from abroad?
Yes. Most of our guests book before arriving in Lisbon. We handle everything remotely, including the contract, so your room is ready when you land.
What are the house rules?
Each room lists its own conditions (for example minimum age, minimum stay, and rules on smoking, parties or pets). You'll see them on the room page and confirm them when you request to book.
Who lives in the residences?
Mostly students and young professionals aged 18–30, both Portuguese and international — a friendly, respectful community.
What if something breaks?
Just tell us. Maintenance is included — our team fixes issues quickly so you don't have to deal with it.
How soon will I hear back after requesting?
Usually within one business day. We'll email you to confirm availability and walk you through the next steps.
