to understand how cheap and safe to rent an apartment in Moscow.
Now renting an economy-class one-room apartment in Moscow costs 28-30 thousand rubles a month. For such money, housing is offered with the usual repair and all necessary furniture. The most affordable apartments in the south and southeast of Moscow. A one-room apartment in them can be rented for an average of 28 thousand rubles, a two-room apartment - for 38 thousand rubles. The cost is slightly higher in the eastern district: 29 thousand rubles for a one-room apartment, 40 thousand rubles for a two-room apartment. The low rental rate is mainly due to the unfavorable environment. Nevertheless, the infrastructure in them is developed and there is everything necessary for living.
In the northeast, a one-room apartment costs an average of 32 thousand rubles, a two-room apartment costs 40 thousand rubles. In the northwest: 33 thousand rubles and 43 thousand rubles, respectively. In the north, the figures are the same.
The most expensive districts are Southwestern, Western and Central. In the first two average cost rent of one-room apartments is 34 thousand rubles, two-room apartments - 45 thousand rubles. In the most expensive district, the Central District, an economy-class one-room apartment is rented for an average of 37,000 rubles, and a two-room apartment costs 48,000 rubles.
Traditionally, the hot season begins at the end of summer and autumn, at which time demand grows due to those who enter universities and come to Moscow to work. As a result, cheap offers are washed out, which leads to higher rates. But this year the situation is conducive to bargaining. There are a considerable number of competitive offers on the market now, and the owners are ready to make concessions. Some tenants decide to search new apartment, because similar offers appeared, but at a better cost. This situation is especially noticeable in the expensive segment, where high demands are placed on housing.
The best time to look for accommodation is spring and summer until mid-July. During this period, there is a lull in the rental market, so owners often give up the price of up to 2-3 thousand rubles, and sometimes the cost can be reduced by up to 15%.
But in any season there are offers from owners who, due to the urgency of the transaction, are ready to give up the cost of the rental rate (for example, if you need to go abroad and in short term rent housing).
In order not to run into scammers, tenants need to ask for title documents for the apartment. You need to make sure that the person renting housing has the right to do so. It is also worth asking for receipts for paying for an apartment and checking how many registered persons are indicated there. If the owner assures that he lives alone, and the receipt indicates the opposite, you need to be wary.
Before settling into the apartment, you need to check everything: furniture, appliances and plumbing. If the owner threw a blanket over the sofa, do not be too lazy to check the upholstery. It happens that some flaws are covered with a veil.
The lease agreement must specify the property to be leased. It is better to indicate the address of the apartment in full. In addition, key issues need to be fixed: the term of the lease (stay), the amount and procedure for payment, the frequency of revision of payment, at whose expense repairs will be carried out, as well as the possibility of pets.
It is quite possible to download a contract on the Internet and do without the help of a realtor. But to choose a normal sample, you need to follow the rules.
–It is desirable to watch primarily specialized legal resources.
–Not bad to rate the relevance of the document. If it mentions, for example, the Civil Code of the RSFSR, it is worth considering.
–Skip through the text. Just because it's too "legal" (big sentences with a lot of overly technical terminology) doesn't mean it's right for you. It is better to use the one that can be understood.
With some legal skill, it is possible to prove the existence of an oral lease agreement. In support of which, one can refer to the behavior of the parties: if one gave the other the same amount every month on the 5th (and, of course, can prove this), then the court may well agree that this is not a mere coincidence. But resolving issues through the courts in such a situation is the way of persistent and reckless people. At the same time, one should not forget that in the situation under consideration in court it will not be possible to refer to witness testimony - only to written and other evidence.
Usually, the cost of current repairs (replacing a light bulb, painting the wall after children's drawing exercises) is borne by the tenant. You can claim compensation for such repairs only if this is expressly stated in the contract.
Default overhaul must be done by the landlord. If the tenant had to make it, then he may demand compensation for expenses. But it is desirable that this be spelled out in the contract.
If something of the equipment broke down, then you need to look to see if the tenant is at fault in what happened. If you can prove that termites caused the chair to fall apart, and not because your sumo wrestler friend sat in it, you won't have to pay anything to the owner.

Fraud is gradually losing relevance, due to the ease of identifying scammers, but so far some fall for their tricks.
The most common method of fraud mainly works with visitors who do not understand the peculiarities of the real estate market and want to save money on finding an apartment. You pay money in advance to receive “information” about new apartments that appear, or, as an option, about getting the number of a grandmother who rents an apartment in the center for 20 thousand rubles, and as a result, the “grandmother” is either sick or tired, and leaves meeting with you within a couple of days, and no one provides you with information. When trying to return the money, the scammers refer to the contract, which states that they owe nothing) The easiest way to deal with such fraud is to write a statement to the police.
The second most common option is to rent an apartment to several tenants at once. It is easily calculated by the fact that you are asked to leave a deposit / make a deposit / pay money in advance, without drawing up a contract or a security receipt, motivated by a “queue of people” standing behind you and waiting for the opportunity to withdraw).
Knowing how the Moscow real estate market works, such frauds are easy to identify. For example, heavily discounted offers for no good reason (sale, short-term lease) are the bait of scammers, or an attempt by the agency to attract attention to themselves and force you to call. Which brings us to the next point.
The main resource for finding an apartment in Moscow is the Cian website (cian.ru). With it, you can easily determine the range of prices in the area of interest.
Also, knowing the market, you can easily filter out inadequate offers that are above the market, thus a couple of hours on the Internet can save you several tens of thousands of rubles in the long run.
Knowing the prices in your search area, you can start looking for suitable offers. Be sure to check with the agents for all the details regarding the apartment, because. data may be out of date or inaccurate.
Don't forget to check the price. Due to the current situation (when the owner works with 5-10 agencies, trying to turn it in faster), many agents reduce the cost in order to be higher in the search, and, for example, in the elite segment, the spread can reach tens of thousands of rubles.
After calling the options that suit you and making sure that the information indicated in the ads is true, do not forget to clarify the amount of the agency fee. Many of the agents, trying to earn as much as possible, bet unreasonably high percent. If the apartment you are interested in is offered by several agencies at once, choose the 2 most low interest(if any), and focusing on the fact that you can go to a competitor, ask for a discount. It's likely you'll get it.
In the elite segment, agents are increasingly refusing commissions from clients. expensive apartments are rented much less often, and it is better to rent an apartment after receiving a commission from the owner than not to rent it at all because of an unreasonably high commission.
Finding an apartment with an agent is not a method for everyone. Make sure you don't save money. The main benefits for you are time savings, access to the knowledge of the agent, assistance in drafting contracts, consultations on negotiations and advice on issues that arise along the way.
There are two options here - ask a familiar agent to give you advice, and then search for options, make appointments, prepare a contract and negotiate yourself. Or, if you value your time and nerves, hire a realtor. Often, at the end of the whole process, the value of the time and nerves spent exceeds the commission that agents ask for their work.
In short, the search for an apartment without an agent fits into a simple scheme:
The Moscow market is characterized by a strong spread of demand depending on the price of an apartment. An apartment on the outskirts that costs 20,000 the same evening after its appearance can have a queue of 10 people, while an apartment for 80 can stand on the market for several months. This variation is due to the fact that in Moscow there are very a large number of visitors who need cheap housing, but as the cost rises, purchasing power is greatly reduced.
The quality of service grows in proportion to the cost, in the segment of cheap real estate it is not uncommon to encounter rudeness on the part of both the realtor and the owner, but with the increase in the cost of apartments, this disappears.
In cheap apartments, the owner does not need to look for clients himself, so the owner never pays a commission to the realtor, the work of the realtor is paid by the client who rents the apartment, while bargaining on a commission is much more difficult, because. 5-6 more people can breathe in your back, ready to rent an apartment, paying the entire commission. In the expensive segment, the opposite is true - for 5-6 vacant apartments there are one or two clients who can afford to make a choice and bargain for weeks.
When viewing, you should definitely pay attention to the condition of plumbing, household appliances, furniture. Be sure to check the compliance of the property documents with the passport data, find out if there are still owners, how many people are registered, if there are several owners, if there is a power of attorney, where they are, how long it will take them to get to the apartment. If you like the apartment, then you should find out in advance the main conditions on which it is rented - cost, payment terms, additional conditions, cost utilities in the house.
After reviewing all the options, there are usually one or two that are most suitable. Call them, make an offer that you think the owner will accept, while understanding in advance that the owner may not agree to your terms, and either make a counteroffer or completely refuse. In this case, it is worth asking what concessions he can make, and on what terms. It is likely that he will come to you.
Even while viewing, you can ask the agent to provide you with a copy of the contracts under which the agent is currently working. In general, the agreements of large agencies are similar to each other, differing only in formatting and wording, but you should find out in advance from the agent (or from the owner), special conditions which they would like to write. Often, only at the stage of negotiations, it turns out that the conditions offered by the owner are absolutely not suitable for the tenant (for example, payment in dollars, double deposit, visits more than once a month, etc.)
Also, ask the agent about the standard conditions used in their contracts - some of the agencies by default prescribe in the contract penalties for moving out of the apartment earlier than 6 months, agents know the company's contracts by heart, and can tell you in detail what exactly is described in it .
As a separate item, I would single out the inventory made after the signing of the lease or lease agreement.
Leaving a deposit, you thus guarantee the safety of the furniture transferred to you by the owner, so treat the inventory with all your attention, and be sure to check that all possible comments have been made. By agreement with the owner, you can take photos by sending them to him as well.
Having received a lease agreement signed by the owner, you just have to pay him off (usually the first month of rent and a deposit are paid). At the same time, you can ask the agent in advance to bring a receipt form for the money you paid to the owner.
You give money, they give you a receipt, keys, instructions for household appliances and contacts for service personnel and services.
Now you are a happy owner of a rented apartment in Moscow!
it short description lease procedures.
If you have any questions, you can always contact me, I will be happy to answer them in the comments.
Every year thousands of people come to Moscow in search of their happiness. At first, everyone faces the same problem - where to live.
Relatives and friends are a lifesaver for the first time. However, even the most patient of them will sooner or later ask you to move out. Then, you will have to face the problem of finding rental housing.
Renting an apartment in the capital is not a cheap pleasure. A one-room economy class apartment will cost you 20-25 thousand rubles. "Dvushka" can be rented for 27-35 thousand rubles. But if you know how to rent an apartment in Moscow at below market rates, you can save a decent amount. We will tell you what ways of cheap rent exist.
Option one. Seasonal.
These objects appear on the market in early spring. It was at this time that the owners of the apartments leave the city for their favorite 6 acres for the whole summer and part of the autumn. In order for the apartment not to be empty, enterprising owners rent it out.
“Now there are already enough people who have apartments or houses abroad, for example, in Bulgaria. They can spend their holidays there. The average rental period for such apartments is 3-4 months, and the size rental payments, as a rule, 5-10% lower than the market ones,” notes Maria Zhukova, First Deputy Director of MIEL-Arenda.
Option two. Apartment for the price of a room.
Those who often move from place to place know that attractive options periodically appear on the rental property market. For example, you rent a room in an apartment where the second room is locked and, in fact, it turns out that for the cost of the room you rent an apartment.
Maria Zhukova notes that “there are few such proposals, no more than 5% of the total. At the same time, the cost of renting a room in a two-room apartment is comparable to the cost of a one-room apartment, two rooms in three-room apartment- from a two-room apartment. Since the tenant receives the rest of the area of the apartment for use. But sometimes the owners rent a one-room apartment for the price of a room.
For example, the owners of the apartment moved to live in another house, but there is nowhere to transport the furniture and it is a pity to throw it away. As a result, the second room serves as a kind of storage for things, and tenants have a great opportunity to rent an apartment cheaper.
“I would like to note that such offers are often found in non-professional databases, when a room in a two-room apartment is offered to rent at a price much lower than the market price,” says Maria Zhukova. “Such ads should alert potential tenants, such tricks are often used by “black” brokers in order to attract attention and hook a client, or even simply as a fraud scheme.”
Option three. No amenities but cheap.
Another way to rent an apartment much cheaper in Moscow is to give up the amenities. Amenities can mean many different things. For example, an apartment may not have a bath or shower, then the cost of monthly rent of such an object may be reduced by 20-30%.
Option four. Housing in exchange for services.
Often, older people prefer to rent an apartment to those that can provide them with some useful services. For example, if you are a health worker, then pensioners will gladly rent out their apartment or room to you at rates that will be many times lower. In this case, the elderly will be confident in the timely provision of medical care.
Also, renting a house can be cheaper if you take care of a sick person who lives in an apartment or walk animals.
Option five. Quality repairs and free accommodation.
In the databases of realtors, you can find offers to rent apartments for 10-15 thousand rubles. Such cheapness is not accidental, since in this case the tenant must make repairs in the apartment. Thus, the owner kills two birds with one stone. On the one hand, an apartment in a new building is not empty, but works in a plus. On the other hand, the apartment will be renovated.
These are the TOP 5 most popular ways to rent an apartment cheaply. There are many more options on how to find housing at rental rates below market rates, but these options are rare. Ads can be placed not only in the database of realtors, but also in various communities and social networks.
For example, a family is leaving for a couple of months in another country and it is necessary to look after the apartment, water the flowers and feed the animals. In this case, the owners of the apartment can offer a person free accommodation, or they can rent out the living space. If a person pays for two months at once, then monthly payment per apartment will be greatly reduced.
Recently, we talked in detail about the very first stage of travel - about where and how to profitably book plane tickets.
In the article we will describe both simple and familiar to many tools, as well as more extravagant ones, which not everyone can decide on - but nevertheless, they have the right to exist.
Let's start with the most extravagant option.
This is perhaps the most standard way to find hotels. There are many booking systems that have at their disposal a database of hotels for which the search is carried out.
Moreover, often the cost of the same number in different search engines can differ significantly.
Most popular systems:
This method can be called the simplest, most convenient and often the most effective, especially if your goal is simply to find an acceptable hotel in the right city.
Meta search engines are search engines that do not have their own database of hotels and do not offer booking services, but search through a variety of booking engines.
The obvious advantage of this method is the ability to compare many different options and the absence of the need to study each reservation system separately. For each hotel found, a list of options with prices is provided, from which you can choose yourself.
In addition to prices, descriptions, and photos, some of these meta search engines also collect discount offers and hotel reviews, so you can explore everything in one place.
We have tried many similar sites, many of them are similar, but in our opinion, the most convenient and complete are www.hotellook.ru and.
When choosing a particular hotel, you will be asked to go to the booking system website for booking - you can try to go to different systems and compare the results.
Sometimes it happens that the difference in price is not significant, but in one of the options, for example, you do not need to make an advance payment, or just some system will seem more convenient to you.
So, to summarize all of the above: if you are just going on vacation to Europe or the USA, you want to live in comfort, but not overpay and at the same time not spend a lot of time looking for housing, then it will be most convenient to use one of these services:
We hope that this review will allow you to find accommodation for the soul and for the budget and have a great vacation!
