Renting an apartment or a house in Italy: everything you need to know about the rental contract and finding a property

Italy has been seducing expatriates for decades with its legendary food, wine, history, architecture, beaches and natural landscape. Thanks to certain cities, areas and tourist attractions, this Mediterranean country has a reputation for being rather expensive in terms of real estate, but these rumors are largely false. Indeed, the average cost of a one-bedroom apartment in a large city center is about €600 per month. Even in the most popular cities for expats, such as Milan, Rome and Naples, it is easy to find a comfortable one-bedroom apartment in the city center for less than €1000. In addition, if you plan to live outside of a major city, the cost of living is likely to be much more reasonable than it is in other European capitals. Whether you are looking to move to Italy for its beautiful countryside, to start your own business, or for your retirement, one of the biggest obstacles may be finding an apartment to rent or share.
