Frequently asked questions

Can NakonRent help review excessive deposit clause?

It can prepare a structured reading, checklist and action text. It does not replace the official authority or a lawyer.

Why not always publish exact amounts?

Because benefits, discounts and tariffs change. Amounts are published only when there is a current source and clear date.

Can I use it before signing?

Yes. That is the main use: detecting risks before handing over checks, deposit or guarantees.
