Hi,
I just moved to Italy about 3 months ago and so far I've used AirBnb. But it's time to get a normal appartment as my contract has a month and a half left..
I prefer having a contract for up to 1 year which is renewable. I don't like long term commitments...
Here are my questions:
1. I have a work visa (type d, self employed for 1 year) and a codice fiscale, but I am still waiting for my Questura appointment for the permesso di soggiorno. Can I sign a normal rent contract without the permesso?
2. How do I pay for rent? Do I make a bank transfer once a month? Do I need an Italian bank account?
3. How do I pay a deposit? Is there a way to give the landlord like a cheque or something that he can cash out in case of problems but until then, the money stays in my account?
Grazie
