Private Accommodation and Rental Flats in Pécs

Monday, 8 June, 2026

Incoming international students may find that renting a private flat is the best option for their accommodation needs. A rented apartment offers greater privacy, comfort, independence, and a peaceful environment that can support both academic success and personal well-being.

How Do I Start Looking for a Place to Rent?

The monthly rental fee for a two-room apartment in Pécs typically ranges between 120,000 and 200,000 HUF (approximately 335–620 EUR). Rental prices may vary depending on several factors, including:

  • The location and surrounding neighbourhood
  • Distance from the university campus
  • The size, condition, and facilities of the property

Please note that utility costs and property management fees are generally not included in the rental price. These additional expenses may include electricity, gas, water, heating, and common maintenance charges.

Students should also consider the possibility of arranging an internet connection through a local service provider, as this expense is usually borne by the tenant.

Security Deposit

Most accommodation providers require a security deposit, typically equivalent to one or two months’ rent. This amount must be paid before moving into the property and is generally refunded after moving out, provided that no damages or outstanding payments remain.
