Current colocation signals

A current Mubawab Derb Ghalef listing shows a furnished colocation room at MAD 3,000/month; central Palmier and Les Hôpitaux examples are around MAD 3,300. These are samples, not an official average.

Keep whole-unit, studio and serviced products out of the ordinary room benchmark.

Casa Tramway costs

Current Casa Tramway information supports a disposable single trip effectively at MAD 8, a rechargeable-card journey at MAD 6 plus card purchase, MAD 60 weekly, MAD 230 public monthly and MAD 150 eligible student monthly.

Name the actual station and walking distance; “near tram” is not enough.

Law 67-12 deposit and subletting

For qualifying residential arrangements, Law 67-12 limits the security or caution deposit to two months’ rent and provides a return framework within one month after keys are returned, subject to justified deductions.

Subletting or assignment requires written landlord agreement within the relevant scope unless the contract or statutory exception changes that position. Do not extend these rules to tourist or hotel-style products without classification.

Furnished inventory and charges

Verify furniture, condition, utilities, internet, cleaning, service charges and minimum stay. A furnished room is not comparable with a studio or whole apartment without product labeling.

Record landlord or sublet authority before paying.

• Furnished inventory has no condition list.
• Payment is requested before viewing or authority verification.
