FAQ
To report a new damage of the landlord’s property that you accidentally caused, it's essential to contact your landlord as soon as possible. Be sure to provide them with all the necessary information about the incident, including any supporting photos or videos. The landlord is then responsible for taking further steps, with assistance from AXA as the insurance company.
In case you've already paid for the damage repairs out of your own pocket, you can contact AXA Assistance directly to request reimbursement for the expenses you've already incurred. You can find the contact information in the "Contact" section of your profile.
No worries, Stay Benefits include this kind of damage as well! We’ve got you covered.
Unfortunately, if it's stated that the damage is directly related to any substance abuse, the damages won't be covered by the insurance company as this is one of the exclusions. In such scenarios, you would be responsible for fully bearing the cost of the damages.
Of course, we’ve got you covered!
Stay Benefits include two 1-hour consultations with IT assistance. All you need to do is reach out to AXA assistance using the contact information provided in the "Contact" section of your profile. Their 24/7 online support ensures you’ll get help whenever you need!

StayProtection for Tenants is a Flatio coverage that applies to you at all times, no matter which property you choose for your stay. It was designed to protect you, your money, and your peace of mind throughout your entire Flatio experience.
Stay Benefits is then a special part of the StayProtection coverage which doesn't come with all Flatio properties, as their availability depends on the landlords’ settings. Its main focus is to cover you in case something breaks or gets damaged during your stay.
Of course! While Stay Benefits provide extra coverage in specific situations, you remain well-protected even without them. Our standard StayProtection plan ensures comprehensive coverage, including an exclusive Move-in Guarantee, so you can always feel secure and protected when renting via Flatio.

FAQ
Our lease agreement varies slightly by country as we always follow all the local laws and regulations. Therefore, some parts might be different because of certain legal requirements of the location.
But don’t worry, you can always check out the exact lease that will apply to your reservation before you book a place to stay. We put the appropriate lease template in each listing detail.
Sure you can! Although a physically signed lease agreement is not provided automatically because we work with electronic signatures, you can always ask your landlord to send you a copy that is manually signed by them.
Many of our landlords are familiar with this need, especially since numerous tenants require a hand-signed agreement for visa applications.
Such an option is not available via Flatio. We prioritize the protection of our tenants and strive to ensure all transactions are legitimate and legal, preventing any form of fraudulent activity. Therefore, when you rent via Flatio, you will always sign a lease agreement that we've carefully designed to preempt any potential issues that could negatively impact your renting experience.
Move-in Guarantee with a 24/7 emergency line
Our agents manually check and approve every single landlord and listing before they can be advertised on Flatio. To avoid any fraud, they get in direct contact with each landlord before advertising their properties.
We understand how a situation when your accommodation isn't as advertised or when your landlord doesn't show up for the handover can ruin your plans. That's why we're doing our best to avoid this from happening. And if, despite all of that, things don't go as planned, we've prepared a Move-in Guarantee for you, with a dedicated 24/7 line ensuring you'll get help whenever needed.
Our Move-in Guarantee ensures you will get an immediate full refund of the rent and service fee. We'll also pay for up to 7 days of an alternate accommodation (up to 125% of your original daily rent price). Plus, we'll help you find another place for your stay and you'll get a discount of 100% on the service fee for your next reservation via Flatio.
We aim to make your move-in as smooth as possible.
FAQ
You can claim the lease withdrawal connected to our Move-in Guarantee if:
- the accommodation doesn't match the listing description provided at the time of the reservation request; or
- staying in the original accommodation is not possible for other reasons and the condition cannot be remedied immediately.
You can see all the details and specific example cases in this article.
In such cases, it’s important to reach out as soon as possible for immediate resolution. You can choose to contact Flatio’s Customer Care team via email at [email protected], or you can use the 24/7 emergency line provided by AXA Assistance. The emergency phone number will be sent to you on your move-in day via email and SMS.
Whichever method you choose, please make sure to provide all necessary details, along with any supporting evidence to help our understanding of your concern and avoid any delays in the resolution time.
The lease withdrawal is possible until 20:00 on the day after the start date stated on the lease agreement. So, for example, if your lease starts on Monday, you have until 20:00 the next day (Tuesday) to use the Move-in Guarantee service.
Please note that to be able to claim the Move-in Guarantee, you need to inform Flatio’s Customer Care team or AXA Assistance about the withdrawal and provide all supporting evidence by this deadline.
Each case is specific. If we see that the issue could be easily fixed, we give the landlord 48 hours to make up for their mistake.
Take, for example, if you've been placed in a property different from the one you booked - in such cases, the landlord is given the chance to relocate you to the right property, thus avoiding contract termination. Or if there is an important piece of equipment (e.g. fridge) missing, making it impossible for you to stay in accommodation, we give the landlord time to deliver their promise.
Additionally, there are also other ways to avoid the withdrawal, as long as both you and the landlord agree on a different solution. Options might include a reduction in rent, or the landlord offering you an alternative, more suitable property to stay in.
We treat these cases as top priority, guaranteeing the fastest possible refund. In most cases, we're able to process the refund on the same day you sign the lease termination. And rest assured, providing we have your bank account information, it will never take more than 3 days to send all the money back to you.
