80 sqm civil apartment (Normal condition). Estimated minimum rent: 80 sqm × €10.50/sqm = €840.00 a month; estimated maximum rent: 80 sqm × €14.50/sqm = €1,160.00 a month.
60 sqm economy apartment (Normal condition). Estimated minimum rent: 60 sqm × €7.50/sqm = €450.00 a month; estimated maximum rent: 60 sqm × €10.50/sqm = €630.00 a month.
15 sqm garage (Normal condition). Estimated minimum rent: 15 sqm × €7.00/sqm = €105.00 a month; estimated maximum rent: 15 sqm × €10.50/sqm = €157.50 a month.
