FAQ BedStudent

How can I contact you?

The fastest way to communicate with us is a Whatsapp message at no. +39 3917544291!

You will be contacted within a few minutes.

Or if you prefer, let’s get to know each other personally through our video chat system!

If possible, do not send e-mails! We prefer Whatsapp!

How can I book a room?

First of all, let us know your approximate check in and out date! Also, do you prefer a shared or a private bathroom?

Once we understand your need, we will send you via whatsapp available rooms for that period, via a clear Whatsapp link.

Once you’ve chosen the room that’s right for you we’ll send you a booking form to fill out and sign online. No need of printing!

It will then be sufficient to pay the security deposit and the reservation will be considered confirmed.

We remind you that the security deposit is required to confirm the reservation. In case of cancellation prior to your arrival, the security deposit must be considered non-refundable.

Can i visit the room?

We do not allow site visits. In fact, it’s not necessary! Thanks to our accurate photoshootings you will be able to choose your favourite room without going personally to see the room! Save time!

Are the pictures i see in the website real?

Yes, please note that the photos are purely examples of the type of room. Wall colours, furniture placement, layout and decorations may vary slightly.

What is meant by "all inclusive" fee?

All inclusive means that the rent includes the cost of the monthly rent, utilities (electricity, gas, water, heating and, where present, air conditioning), condominium fees, the waste fee, and a WI-FI internet connection at high speed.

What is the duration of the contract?

The minimum duration is one month, but it may change upon availability and period of the year. There is no maximum duration. You decide how much to stay!

Can I terminate the contract before its expiration?

Of course, one month’s notice is enough and you will not be charged any penalty!

In case of early withdrawal, however, remember that 67 euros will be retained for the registration of the withdrawal at the Revenue Agency.

Remeber that this rule DO NOT apply in case your termination requests expiration date falls into the months of June and July. In this case security deposit will be retained.

Can I extend the contract?

Yes, but given the super high request we suggest you to confirm your extension as soon as possible.

Once you confirm us (also via whatsapp) the extension of the contract, we will consider it as a new reservation, guaranteed by your security deposit.

In case of cancellation of the extension, the security deposit will be not refunded.

We remind you that every extension of the contract has a cost of Euro 300 extension fee + the new registration of the new contract of Euro 128.

Do i have to pay a security deposit?

Yes, we require only one month of security deposit, which at the end of the lease, having verified that there are no damages to the property, will be  returned to you in 30 days from leaving the room, net of final cleaning fee (€50) and unpaied dues.

We remind you that the reservation is confirmed with the payment of the security deposit. In case of cancellation of the reservation before your arrival the payment has to be considered not refundable.

Do i need an Italian Codice Fiscale (Italian Tax Code)?

Yes, you DO need it at the moment of your arrival.

It’s important to have it in order to register and legalize the lease contract.

If you don’t have one, ask Univeristy to provide it or go to Agenzia Delle Entrate Office.

Remember that you can anyway reserve a room even if at the moment of the reservation you don’t have one. You will have time to get it before arriving in Padova!

What does the fee not include?

The fee does not include our service charges, corresponding to a monthly fee in excess of VAT. Furthermore, the registration fees of the contract are not included, to be quantified from time to time depending on the duration of the contract.

What is the Service Commission and how do i calculate it?

The Service Commission is the cost needed to cover our activities and effort to make sure that your stay is safe and legal.

In fact, there is a lot of work behind a safe international contract (burocracy, communications to Police and Municipality, legal contract, tax registration, maintenance, cleaning, availability 24h, finding of a nice place for you).

If somebody offers you a room without applying a service commission, it means that it s not a professional organization, and that probably, if you have problems, they won t help.

We have managed several cases of fraud and unbalanced rental agreements.

That is why we are the best rated company in Padova and recognised by University as primary partners.

The Service Commission corresponds to 1 month rent + VAT22%.

To calculate the Service Commission multiply your monthly rent*1,22.

The Service Commission will be payed only one time, at your arrival.

What is the Registration Tax Cost?

All rental agreements need to be registered at the Agenzia delle Entrate (Revenue Agency).

This is the tax required by the Agenzia delle Entrate to register the contract.

The amount is approximately 128 euros,

If you renew the contract you have to register again the contract, and pay again this tax.
