inforoomgranada@gmail.com
If something got broken during your stay: send us an
email with the description, attach photos, inform us
about your timetable (hours when you will be at home).

6. Shared expenses
The expenses that are not included in your monthly rental price are: water,
electricity, Internet, and sometimes gas "butano" (if have one in your flat).
The bills for water and electricity you share with your flatmates equally.
These bills are sent every 2 months for each tenant. As you understand,
the amount of money for these expenses depend on how much you
consume.
The price for the Internet is a fixed one (it is not going to change): you pay
10 euros for that every month every time you pay for your rent. (So it
means that if your monthly rent, for example, is 200 euros, so every month
between days 1st and 5th you should pay 200+10 euros= 210 euros total.)
Apart from that, if your gas is butano in the flat, so you should order the
butano tank by yourselves with flatmates when the previous one is empty.

7. Gas in your flat
If you have gas tank in your flat (not electrical heater or
stove), you need to change it with your flatmates when it is
empty;
The tank costs 17,50 euros and the delivery is usually on the
next day, but you will be informed about that when you order;
You can order a new tank (bombona de butano) from a
company that serves your area by telephone or online form:

!
• A video showing how to install properly the gas tank (even though the delivery
service person will explain it to you): https://www.youtube.com/watch?

8. Changing the gas tank: gas system consists of two items: a boiler and a
gas tank which are connected with a cable.
1
• Turn off the boiler
2
• Disconnect the cable from the bottle
3
• Remove safety cover from the new bottle
4
• Plug in the cable into the gas tank (you will hear „click“)
5
• Check if it is connected properly and the gas is not escaping
6
• Light up the boiler

9. How to switch on
the boiler?
1. First of all, check if the gas tank is well connected.
2. There are different kinds of boilers: sometimes there is only one
button, sometimes there are more.
3. New version requires only one ‘click’ and they light up themselves
directly.
4. If you have older version, you need to press the ‘button’ insert a
match or a lighter (long one). When the flame will appear take out
the match but hold the button. Wait for few seconds and then
release the button. Then there should remain a tiny flame.

10. Visiting rules
The terms in case of visit of your family members or friends that plan to stay
in the same room with you:
First of all, the main rule here is that we allow visiting of your friends/family
but you should inform us about every visit (containing the info about who is
visiting, how many days the person is going to stay, etc).
As well, you are obliged to inform your flatmates beforehand about the visit
and ask if they agree with that. It is important to respect each other,
because you share the same apartment.
In case that a person/several family members stay for quite a long period
(1-2 weeks), we would be glad to help you find a friendly-priced
accommodation for that period (as we have different agreements with
hotels/hostels around).
It is important that you pay equally for the water and electricity bills in case
that there are more people visiting you.

11. Garbage sorting
You are supposed to take it out
to the street where you can
find huge containers.
grey container (for a mix,
everything can be put there)
one more for used clothes/
shoes
container for used oil
yellow
green iglu
blue
AZUL: paper, carton
VERDE: glass, bottles
AMARILLO: plastic, cans, bricks

12. Washing machine
usage
Washing machines in Spain have got a blockade.
That is why please wait after washing machine
finishes its work before opening it. (Normally it is
between 3-5 minutes)
!
Don’t try to force it! Kicking or pushing
the washing machine is definitely not
helping the machine to work properly.

13. Light bulbs
Changing of light bulbs is
tenants’ responsibility.
You can buy an energy-saving
or a normal bulb in:
«los chinos» (Chinese
stores), electrical stores,
hypermarkets.
If you have any problems,
you can always call the
office or send an email.

14. Cleaning tips
You should ventilate the bathroom in order to avoid
humidity;!
!
If there is a mould on the walls you can clean it with
«lejia» (local product to clean almost everything);!
!
During the general cleaning of the flat you may use
«lejia» as well;!
!
Cockroaches appear when there is water on the
floor/tables, trash, and food;!
!
Remember to clean your room and flat before
leaving, we will do a check after your departure.
Prepare it in a good condition for the next student.

Remember that this is your new home
from now. Please take care of that place
and respect your flatmates so that
everyone enjoys the stay in Granada!
