Totukeli's progress, shared in the open — plus practical guides for tenants, landlords and brands.
Some works you have to allow and some you do not. What notice the law requires, when you can ask for a rent reduction and when you can leave.
Checking solvency is legitimate; asking for everything is not. What genuinely evidences ability to pay and where the line falls.
It changes the tenant profile, the average length of stay and how much work it gives you. How to decide it on merit rather than on what is in your storeroom.
You can, with conditions. How long you must have been there, how much notice to give and what compensation may apply.
It can be agreed, but only if it is done properly and in writing. What the law requires and what happens if the contract leaves it half done.
They are not the same and the consequences differ sharply. What each option means for the term, the rent and the deposit.
One of the most common filters and one of the worst explained. What the contract says, what can be agreed and how to raise it without being ruled out immediately.
You do not need to refurbish. Four cheap things decide more than the price in September’s first viewings.
Leaving them in the landlord's name looks easier and costs more. What you gain and what you risk with each option.
Doing an inventory with photos on the day you move in is the most profitable thing in the whole tenancy. Exactly what to photograph.
The general rule is simple, and it still causes half the awkward messages. Where the line falls.
The annual review has rules. What the contract must say, how much notice you are owed, and what to check before agreeing.
The most common dispute at the end of a tenancy. What counts as fair wear, what counts as damage, and what to do if a month passes with no sign of it.
The more rent takes out of a salary, the less is left for everything else. That is where a brand can contribute something real, rather than just another discount.
If you have a home to let this autumn, what you do in August decides whether you let it in the first week or at the end of October.
House sharing has become the only viable option for a lot of people. Half an hour of awkward conversation up front saves months of bad atmosphere.
You cannot control how many people message the same listing. You can control how you turn up, and that decides more than it seems.
Summer is one of the worst times of year to find a rental. If you cannot wait until September, at least play by summer rules.
We would rather tell you where the platform actually stands than put on a front. This is what already works, what we are building now and what comes next.
Someone moving signs up for internet, switches on the electricity, buys a mattress and insures their home within a few weeks. For a brand, there is no other moment like it.
Reasonable affordability, stability and clear communication count for more than any hunch. And what the law does not allow you to ask, better not ask at all.
Energy certificate, occupancy certificate depending on your region, contract and deposit registration: the papers to have ready before the first listing.
Photos, price and description decide in seconds whether your listing gets enquiries or silence. A practical guide for landlords.
What the law protects and what is on you: repairs, works, landlord visits and the end of the tenancy, without the legal jargon.
Moving into a rental does not cost one month rent: it costs several. We break down every payment of the first month so the bill does not catch you out.
Deposit, term, inventory, who pays what. The clauses where the problems (or the peace of mind) of the coming years get decided.
A five-step method: a realistic budget, a well-chosen area, paperwork ready, and viewings that actually help you decide.
Electricity, water, fibre, insurance, town-hall registration… The full list of admin for a move, ordered by urgency, so you discover nothing at 11pm on day one.
The concept Totukeli is built on, explained without spin: real brand benefits in your home, never advertising inside the house.
You can now create your account as a tenant, a landlord or a brand. Here is what you will find on the platform today and what comes next.
