keep in mind key money its also an incentive to not bail after 3months of living there. As unlike the US you can terminate your rental agreement at any time with a 30-60day notice and dont have to pay rent until end of contract or someone else moves in.

So if you give 30-60 day notice on an apartment with a contract that still has 1 year left on it, you can basically stay there rent-free until they find someone else to rent it (or until the original contract runs out)?

You only have to pay for the gap time until a new tenant moves in. Basically the renter provides vacancy insurance, not a guaranteed sum.
