How to save on rent
- A smaller flat with a good layout. The difference between a 1+kk and a 2+kk in Brno is around CZK 12 600 versus 16 500 a month. A well-designed 1+kk with a balcony is often enough for two.
- Flat sharing. In a large flat the rent per person is split, which is why many rooms are let in Brno, especially to students.
- No car. If you do not need a car, you save on parking and can live where public transport is frequent. See the guide living without a car in Brno.
- Costs besides rent. Advance payments for energy and services, the deposit and agency fees can make a cheap rent more expensive. What to ask is in the flat viewing checklist.
