2, About the rental fees
Our advertisements only includes the rental fee of the apartments, so the price you see not includes the bills of the apartment.
The prices are determined by the economics, real estate market, the location of the property, the size of it and the owners themselves. Currently the prices start usually at 80.000 HUF and can go up to 300.000 HUF.
3, Other expenses
Regarding to the accommodation you have to think about not only the rental fee, but the plus expenses that come with the apartment which are the following: bills for the water, the heating, the electricity and the Internet.
The above mentioned fees are not the same at every building, and flat. The prices depend on the type of the heating system, the lining and the structure of the building. The price of the internet depends on the service, the speed, and the package you choose.
How does it look in numbers?
- rental fee is from 90.000HUF to 250.000HUF
- general utilities are:
- community fee (3000.-15.000. HUF/10-50Euros/ month) ,

The above mentioned numbers are average prices, can be different at each apartment.
4, About the lease in general
Lease contracts, in general, are for a determined period of time usually for one year. This is the time interval that is the most advised, as it is long enough for the parties to get to know each other, and decide whether would like to extend the lease or not.
When signing the contract usually you have to pay 2 month deposit and the first month rental fee in advance. However, before signing anything you will be informed about its details. 
II. WHEN TO START YOUR SEARCH
When you should start the search to find the perfect home in time
1, Match the dates
Knowing when you want to move into the new apartment is vital at lease.
Generally, it is better to get in touch with the Agency one month before you want to move. This way you can ask informations about the current market, and prices and we can survey your needs.
Two weeks before the moving in you can start checking the apartments in person.
Why is it better for you?
If you start to look for an apartment earlier, you may have to pay a reservation fee or sign the lease contract and pay as you would live there. If you choose a suitable apartment, but do not want to pay any of the above mentioned we cannot guarantee the apartment will be available by the time you are ready to rent it.
