For a quick mediation, the following information must be included in the e-mail: contact details of the apartment/house owner, address of the accommodation, size of the accommodation in square meters and for how many people the accommodation can accommodate, equipment of the accommodation, time from which the Accommodation is available and for how long, distance to public transport and shopping.

In order to save the refugees moving and stress, it would be important if the accommodation is available for at least three months - the longer, the better!
