Searching for an apartment on rent in Milan – Warnings for students

Do you know you can’t visit the apartment when you are in Milan before booking it?

Do you know what is included in the price, the security deposit and the cancellation policy are different for each apartment in the same website?

Do you know the price never includes the agency fee, the cleaning service, the registration tax and usually some other taxes and hidden costs?

Do you know you can’t have a draft copy of the contract before booking?

Do you know most of the websites can’t show the exact address of the apartments?

Do you know during your stay nobody will offer you any support?

Do you know most of the listings have only pictures and no videos?

Do you know to order online from a grocery store you need the Italian Codice fiscale and if you need to stay in quarantine you can’t buy online any food?

Do you know the internet connection in Milan it’s often not good enough for online classes?

Do you know nobody offer you a private driver for the Malpensa transfer, but you need to take a normal taxi used by a lot of people?

… if you start to get anxious, wait! Because you have just found who is totally different from the others and you don’t need to worry about any of those issue!!

Enjoy your apartment search and make a safe and stress-free booking 🦦
