Czech Housing

If a person were coming to live and work in the Czech Republic, he would need to spend ample time arranging a flat or an apartment to rent in the area where he will be staying.

It requires several months and without a firm knowledge of the process, and local assistance, it's likely to become a black hole for both the person’s wallet and enthusiasm.

A problem with the living arrangements is the most common reason forcing foreigners to return home before time.

Renting a flat in the Czech Republic is usually a confusing and expensive process. It is sometimes more complicated than even the visa application process.

The Czech rental market has little or no regulation. Flats may come to a person in any condition whatsoever, with amenities like stoves, refrigerators and even toilets not working.

Whether it's clean, painted or even habitable is completely up to the tenant and a person has no recourse in case of disputes.

A shortage of attractive and available housing in the Czech Republic in Prague as well as everywhere else, implies it will take a great deal of time, searching a flat that fits one’s needs.

Rental agencies have sprung up to take advantage of the situation and are devious at best. Agency fees costs are up to 2 month’s rent, and move-in costs usually is 3 month’s rent in advance. The money is not returned if the flat's condition is not as promised.

Due to strict rent control laws and the black market system that has developed, it often becomes unlikely that one would want to rent from the owner of the property. It is best to sublease a house in Czech Republic.

A person needs to understand the process, and get local assistance, or else face being stranded without a place to live.

Prices for flats vary considerably in Czech Republic, even in the same neighborhoods.

In Prague, a person easily pays three times the amount or more---in some areas---than for flats in Tokyo, London or New York. The person renting the flat sets the price.

Czech rental contracts are extremely slow, expensive and difficult to implement from both sides, taking up to three years to resolve in court.

This means that the tenant is on his own if he has any problems with his landlord or someone else who claims to the landlord.
