Common practical case

Landlord asks for cash, a security check and a bank guarantee at the same time: it is prudent not to review each guarantee separately. It is better to add up the total economic exposure and compare it with the applicable legal cap; inventory and photos also reduce exit disputes.

Before you act

  • 01

    Before returning keys, take photos, a short video, meter readings and a signed inventory.

  • 02

    Ask for written confirmation that no water, electricity, gas, Arnona or Va'ad Bayit debts remain.

  • 03

    If money is withheld, ask for a written breakdown with receipts; avoid handling it only by phone.

You can ask the bot to prepare a checklist and text for requesting an appointment or process through the official municipal channel.
