Rentals Frequently Asked Questions

Do your rentals come furnished?

Each property offered for rent is different and you should clarify this with your Terra Caribbean agent in each instance.

We like the place; can we have it without the furniture that’s in there?

Some owners are flexible and willing to make that adjustment, but you will need to ask before signing an agreement.

Can we bring our pets?

Pets are an important part of many people’s families, so you need to check with the individual landlord to find out what pets, if any, they will allow on their property.

Does the place have insect screens?

In our tropical island climate, it is not unusual to have small insects flying in and through our homes. Some properties are fitted with window screens to keep this to a minimum. You will need to check each property you’re considering to find out if they have window screens.

Is the property wired for high-speed internet/cable?

Internet and high-speed connections are increasingly common in many homes; each Terra Caribbean agent will be able to tell you what a particular property features.

Does that rental price include utilities?

Many landlords will cover the cost of the water bill but this is not a given. Confirm with the potential landlord if they cover the cost of any utilities before signing your rental agreement.

Does the rental price include maintenance of the garden and/or pool?

This is entirely up to the landlord but ask and they’ll be sure to tell you.

How much do we need to pay to move in?

Your move-in deposit varies depending on the landlord’s preference. Typically you will be asked to pay first and last month’s rent plus a security deposit; others may require some other combination of this.
