Same word "Prestigia", price per square meter almost doubled.

The floor level, the view, the condition of the furnished apartment, the garden and the garage explain the difference.

To situate the entry-level price in Hay Riad outside of Prestigia, an advertisement for a new 55 m² apartment at 8,500 DH per month (plus 300 DH condominium fees) is currently circulating on the portals.

My advice: always calculate the price per square meter before committing to an apartment.

Furnished or unfurnished at Prestigia: how to choose without regrets

Here's how I make a decision with my clients, in three simple questions.

  • How long are you staying? For less than two years, furnished rentals avoid unnecessary purchases.
  • What is your installation budget? An unfurnished apartment requires you to furnish it yourself, a furnished apartment is paid for in the rent.
  • What are your decorating requirements? If you like your style, the unfurnished option leaves you free to choose.

The 7 pitfalls when renting an apartment in Prestigia

  1. Confusing the Prestigia programs. The name also exists at Plage des Nations. Check the address.
  2. Compare without the surface area. Request the square meters and calculate the price per square meter.
  3. Forget the trustee. A property management fee of 300 DH per month is listed in some advertisements. Ask who pays it.
  4. Accepting a furnished apartment without an inventory. A signed list protects you upon exit.
  5. Leaving a deposit without a receipt. The legal limit is 2 months' rent.
  6. Visiting a property that is already rented. Confirm availability before you travel.
  7. Ignoring the residence rules. Swimming pool, animals, parking: it's all written there.

Law 67-12 of November 19, 2013 governs residential leases in Morocco.

Remember three key points: a written lease, a detailed entry inventory, and a security deposit limited to two months' rent.

The deposit must be returned to you upon your departure, less any amounts actually owed.

The duration, notice period and rent review are set by your lease, within the framework of this law.
