Rental market is most competitive in August-September (students) and December-January (new year moves). Best deals in March-May.
Negotiate
Listed prices aren't final. Landlords often accept 5-10% less, especially for longer leases or quick move-in.
Deposits
Expect 1-2 months deposit plus first month upfront. Total move-in cost is typically 2-3 months rent.
Furnished vs Unfurnished
Furnished apartments command €100-200/month premium but save you the hassle of furnishing.
