How and where to rent your own home in Tallinn?

● Tallinn apartments can be rented through real estate agents and directly from the owners.

● When signing a rental agreement, as a rule, you have to pay a brokerage fee and a deposit to the owner (usually equal to one month's rent) and the first month's rent - a total of three months' rent.

● The owner is obliged to return the security deposit to the tenant after the end of the rental agreement unless there is a violation of the agreement on the part of the tenant; or if this amount is not considered as the last month's rent according to the contract.

● Calculation and payment of rent usually take place in one-month periods.

● A bank transfer should be preferred when paying the rent to avoid later misunderstandings between the owner and the tax authorities.

● The utility bills - electricity, heating, water and sewerage, and internet connection are paid separately. You should get specific information about these costs from the landlord.

● Confirm the property's condition with the landlord when signing a rental agreement and taking it over.

With a growing population of 456,000 people, Tallinn has eight different districts. Some of them are mainly characterized by panel buildings built during the Soviet period, others by green and peaceful private residential areas, but there are also many historical settlements with distinctive architecture. In other words, there is something for everyone's taste in the Tallinn rental market.

Short-term rent in Tallinn

Tallinn is a small, cute, and unique city. You will certainly discover many interesting things here after finding a rental home. In the present overview, lists of cultural institutions and attractions, shopping centers, services, and educational institutions are not presented separately by city district. It is because they cover most of the city, and you can easily find information about them by Googling. So many foreigners have said, for example, that they have never seen as many shops in a small area as in Tallinn.

Security is an important issue. On this topic, it must be said that Estonia is a very safe country to live in, which is also the case in the capital. The police do their job well, and ambulances and health services are accessible to everyone. Locals have set up their own neighborhood watch services in smaller districts and settlements.
