Moving to Caracas
Housing, deposits, and furnished rentals
A practical checklist for comparing a home, documenting its condition, and understanding the full monthly cost before committing.
Before you visit
Ask for the exact location, rental term, deposit, included furniture, building fees, parking, internet options, and which utilities are included. Do not send money only from photos or messages.
Inspect the full setup
Check water storage, electricity backup, lift operation, mobile signal, internet providers, parking access, and realistic travel time at busy hours.
Document the agreement
Use a written agreement, identify the owner or authorized representative, record inventory and existing damage with dated photos, and obtain receipts for every payment. Seek independent legal advice when terms are unclear.
