Colife Accommodation Rules
General rules
Upon check-in, we conclude a contract for a specified number of months. If you want to move out earlier (if you have lived there longer than the minimum period of stay), then you need to notify us about the departure 30 days in advance.
Note: as a commercial organization, we reserve the right to refuse to check in without giving a reason.

Colife is a project focused on long-term rentals, unlike hotels, hostels or daily rentals.
The minimum length of stay in our rooms is 4 months, however, with a long-term lease (for 6 or 12 months), the price will be much more profitable.

We love pets very much!
But, unfortunately, the possibility of living in Colife with them depends on the rules established by the owner, as well as the management company of the house. In some cases, pets must be approved by neighbors.
If the approvals were successful, the pet’s accommodation is paid separately: +10% to the rental price.

During the first month of your stay, moving is prohibited, but after the first and before the third month you can move with a fine of 500 TRY. We do not take any fee for transfer if you have lived in your current place for more than 3 months and warned about your moving 30 days in advance.
If you want to move out early, we are ready to assist you in finding a replacement. At the same time, the cost of a month’s stay is deducted from the deposit.
Colife provides all its potential residents with an opportunity to see the room. In the last 30 days of your stay, we reserve the right to show your room to future residents with or without your presence. We assure you that we will warn you about upcoming visits.
Your friends can visit you in the daytime, from 9 am to 9 pm, but no more than two people during the day. Any guests can’t stay in the apartment without you. We ask to warn your neighbors about upcoming visits in the public chat room to maintain harmonious relations inside the apartment.
If you want to invite a friend in the nighttime offering him/her a place in your room, you must agree on this with us and your neighbors in the public chat room by providing us with the prospective guest’s full name and phone number. For the comfort of everyone in the apartment, guests can’t stay more than three nights a month. If you rent a sleeping place, you can’t have guests at night.
The inviter bears full responsibility for the guests, including financial liability for property damage.

Discussing a problem always helps;
A simple walk together or a pizza dinner can be the answer;
If it didn’t help, then write to us. We will help settle all differences.

Support
If appliances break down in Colife’s apartments, please promptly inform the customer support by attaching a photo and video.
It is very important not to call the master yourself, as you can stumble upon scammers. Colife’s employees will call for you proven specialists to carry out diagnostics.
After determining the cause of the breakdown, there are two repair options:
1. At the expense of Colife, if the breakdown occurred due to wear and tear.
2. At the expense of the tenant/s, if the reason is improper use. In this case, we will carry out repairs, but we will deduct the repair amount from the deposit. With the next payment for rent, it must be replenished.
The repair time depends on the cause of the breakdown. Colife does not service appliances and furniture left by the owner or previous tenants.

In case of a clog, please promptly inform the customer support by attaching a photo and video.
In the nearest planned cleaning of the apartment, the specialist uses a remedy for blockages. If this measure does not help, we will call a plumber and coordinate with you the time of his arrival, as the master must be met by one of the tenants.
Colife pays for the call of a plumber if the cause of the clogging does not lie in the improper disposal of waste — cotton swabs, personal hygiene products or food leftovers. Otherwise, we will deduct the cost of work in equal proportions from the deposit of all residents. It will need to be replenished with the next rental payment.
The best remedy for blockages is prevention. It is necessary to monitor the cleanliness of the sink and bathroom, cleaning up food leftovers and other waste.
