Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Can I rent for a short period? What is the minimum period?

Answer: The prices of JobNomads.be are established on the basis of 1 year rentals; however most of our apartments and studios can be rented for 6 months, and some smaller studios for 3 months. There is an increase in the price for shorter periods to cover the entry/exit costs which have to be covered by fewer months of rent and the price can also increase if the contract ends in a lower-activity month, when revenue will be lost. You can use the calculator on each apartment page to calculate the monthly rent, inclusive of such factors.

Question: Is there an exception to the above rule?

Answer: Whilst the website may refuse some shorter periods, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist in your request.

Question: What is the total rent?

Answer: You can calculate the total rent for the duration of your stay on the website. The total amount you have to pay is Rent + Flat Fee + Provision.

Question: What does the Flat Fee cover?

Answer: The flat fee covers several services, including Insurance, internet connection and technical support, satellite TV, weekly cleaning of both your apartment and the common areas of the building, taxes,changing of bedlinen every 2 weeks and technical assistance as needed.

Question: What is the provision?

Answer: The provision goes toward covering part of your consumption for gas, water and electricity. During your stay, and upon departure exact consumptions will be calculated to ensure the provision paid is sufficient; if not an additional supplement will have to be paid.

Question: What are the costs of Electricity, Gas and Water in Brussels?

Answer:

Water costs can be calculated by adding all components in the site 'Prix de l'eau'; with current costs of 8,01€ per m3=1000L. However please note that prices differ between communes,.

Electricity and Gas is somewhat more complicated. There are several components; including the consumption itself; the transportation of the energy, the cost of the meters and last but not least, the price of gas in Brussels, which varies with the density of the gas. Electrabel calculates the price of gas in terms of density, which can vary from region to region, with important differences. Further information can be obtained from the office and most information is listed in your rental contract.JobNomads.be will try to inform you on a regular basis of your consumptions in relation to the provision paid.
