However, if you just master\u00a0the renting guidelines and documentation, you will be alright.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Initially, start by figuring out exactly what you want. This will help you narrow down the list of options and therefore facilitate and speed up the renting process. Think about whether you want to live alone or you want a flatmate, is it okay if your flatmate is a stranger, what neighborhood are you interested in, how many rooms should there be, what floor is comfortable for you, and the maximum amount of money you\u2019re willing to spend for the monthly rent. These are just some of the things you should consider before starting out the search for an apartment. However, apart from these, there are a few other things you should know.

It should not be more than this amount. The\u00a0<strong>security deposit<\/strong>\u00a0serves\u00a0as the purpose to make sure the tenant returns the property to the owner in the same condition it was received when rented.\u00a0The\u00a0<strong>utilities\u00a0<\/strong>(electricity, water, gas, telephone), on the other hand, are usually not included in the rent and this should be mentioned in the rental contract.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">On top of these utilities, most blocks of flats have some standard costs, which are divided among the tenants.

Some of the components rental contracts usually contain are:<\/p><ul><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Duration of the agreement (stating the start date and the termination date)<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Deposit amount<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Amount of monthly rent<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Amount of additional costs, depending on your use<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Rent increases information<br \/>\u2022 A complete list of furniture, if you rent a furnished apartment<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Compliance with the regulation of the apartment building<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">House rules set by the landlord, regarding the repair expenses they will and will not cover<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Notice length (minimum one month, if you or your landlord wants to cancel the agreement)<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Consequences of infringements<\/li><\/ul><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">What\u2019s the cost of renting in Athens?<\/h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Average renting prices are usually set as a cost per square metre. However, the prices you will get will vary depending on where you\u2019re planning to live in. Locations close to the universities usually have higher prices in comparison to those further away.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The apartments in Athens are rented out with an average of \u20ac7,5 a square metre, reaching as high as \u20ac11 a square metre, according to xe.gr.\u00a0The rental prices are generally reasonable. A one-bedroom student apartment costs around \u20ac350-500.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">When it comes to\u00a0<strong>deposits<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>utilities<\/strong>\u00a0in Greece, one is expected to pay a deposit that is equal to two months\u2019 rent. It should not be more than this amount. The\u00a0<strong>security deposit<\/strong>\u00a0serves\u00a0as the purpose to make sure the tenant returns the property to the owner in the same condition it was received when rented.\u00a0The\u00a0<strong>utilities\u00a0<\/strong>(electricity, water, gas, telephone), on the other hand, are usually not included in the rent and this should be mentioned in the rental contract.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">On top of these utilities, most blocks of flats have some standard costs, which are divided among the tenants. These costs include the cleaner, gardener, elevator maintenance, electricity for the common areas (staircases, corridors) etc. We call them\u00a0<em>kinohrista.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GUIDE FOR ALL STUDENTS Accommodation at the University Campus The University of Athens operates a\u00a0Student Residence Complex(FEPA\/\u03a6\u0395\u03a0\u0391 in Greek) on campus, consisting of four buildings.
