Need Help Finding A Flat

Postby geoffbranstetter on Mon Mar 08, 2010 6:15 pm

I am a college student finishing up a samester before I plan to travel to Vilnius. I would like to live in Old Town and am looking to spend close to 400 EU a month not including utilities. I have not rented a living space in the United States or abroad, so this is new to me. If there are any suggestions on websites to look at or an agency, please let me know. Also, I am trying to stay for only 90 days, but if that is not possible, I can stay up to 6 monhs.

Thanks,
Geoff

This was the only site I used, it has a plethora of properties for rent/sale. Most agents advertise via this website as well.
I only wanted to rent for five months so encountered difficulty with finding those who wanted to let for such a short period of time (agency costs etc.), so I don't know how you'll go about it for just 90 days. You could try to negotiate funding a portion of the agency fees (normally incurred by the vendor), which is what I did successfully.

Geoff, I think you might struggle finding a place for such a short term. In the worst case scenrio, I know a couple of people who rented a room at a hostel for about 500lta/month. If you search this forum, I am sure you will find the discussion about it.

The good news for you, is that there are alot of empty flats around. The economy is in bad shape so you might be able to negotiate something as Kuzukuzu said. When are you planning to arrive?
