New Handbook for Renting Accommodation in Czechia

Do you have trouble finding housing in Czechia? Don’t know how to start or what to look out for?

The Association for Integration and Migration (SIMI) has prepared a useful Handbook for Renting Accommodation that will help you navigate the rental process more easily and give you practical tips and advice. The handbook is available in four languages – Czech, English, Ukrainian and Russian – and you can have a look at it online right now.

The handbook provides information on all you need to know: the steps you need to take when looking for housing, how much you can expect to pay for housing, your rights and responsibilities as a tenant. It also includes a glossary of important terms to help you understand Czech housing-related legislation and real-life examples to get you prepared for possible situations.

In this handbook, you will find practical advice on how to look for a place to live, tips on what a rent agreement should include and information on how to protect your rights when dealing with a lessor. The handbook also explains the procedure of terminating a rent agreement, so that you know how to get things done properly and smoothly if you want to end your tenancy. The focus is on the most common questions and situations migrants face in the Czech Republic and the handbook provides clear and straightforward answers.

Finding accommodation in a new country can be a challenge, especially if you don’t know local rules or the language. This handbook will prepare you for the whole situation and make the process of finding accommodation easier. It will help you understand the Czech environment better and avoid pitfalls such as discrimination or unfair treatment by landlords.
