I recently had the displeasure of staying in a property during my holiday in Lisbon, and I feel compelled to share my experience to caution other potential tenants.
Firstly, my stay was marred by an unexpected and exorbitant charge imposed by the landlord. Initially, they insisted on charging an outrageous 400EUR extra for guests, even though the property was advertised as accommodating a certain number of people. This unexpected demand was not only unfair but also put a damper on our holiday plans.
Upon refusing to comply with this unreasonable request, the landlord then revised the extra charge to 258EUR. While negotiating, we agreed to pay 158EUR as a compromise. However, this seemingly amicable agreement took an abrupt turn when the landlord threatened to kick us out of the property if we didn't agree to their revised terms.
This entire experience was incredibly stressful and unsettling, especially during what was supposed to be a relaxing holiday. It's disheartening to encounter such unprofessional behavior from a landlord who is supposed to provide a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
My advice to future tenants considering properties in Lisbon is to exercise caution. Ensure that all terms and conditions are clarified and agreed upon in advance to avoid any unwarranted surprises. Unfortunately, my experience has compelled me to give the landlord a lower rating, and I sincerely hope that others can learn from my ordeal.
In conclusion, my holiday in Lisbon was overshadowed by the unpleasant dealings with the landlord. I hope this review serves as a warning to fellow travelers and encourages landlords to address such issues promptly to maintain the trust of their tenants.
