πŸ”„ What items do we replace or refund?

LifeX covers the cost of essential household items that we originally provided in the apartment. This includes things like:

  • Kitchenware (plates, glasses, utensils, pots & pans)

  • Small appliances (kettle, toaster, microwave – if originally included)

  • Furniture accessories (lightbulbs, shower curtains, etc.)

πŸ›‘ Please note: We do not replace or refund personal items or anything you brought yourself.


πŸ“Έ Before you do anything β€” send photos!

Always send us clear photos of the damaged, broken, or missing items via the LifeX app.

This allows our team to assess the request properly.
πŸ“ If the item is non-essential, it will be considered but not guaranteed, and it may be subject to availability and prioritization.


πŸ›οΈ Can I buy the item myself?

Yes! In fact, we encourage you to purchase the item if it’s something simple β€” this is usually faster than waiting for us to order it, as we often buy in bulk and delivery times may be longer.

πŸ’¬ Just check with us first through the app to:

  • Confirm if the item is covered

  • Confirm the budget limit for the item


πŸ’Έ How do I get refunded?

To be refunded, please send us:

  • πŸ“ƒ A full receipt (must include the total cost and VAT)

  • πŸ›’ The item must match the previously agreed type and budget

Your refund will be processed by deducting it from your next LifeX invoice.


⏳ Prefer that we handle it?

Of course β€” if you prefer not to purchase the item yourself, we can order it for you. Just note that:

  • This process will take longer

  • It may be batched with other orders
