Foreigners can rent residential property with no special restrictions; a written contract is standard and recommended.
Low entry costs: deposits are usually just one to two months and agency fees (where charged) are modest, often around one month's rent.
For a temporary resident or nomad, the practical route is private clinics in Tirana (and to a lesser extent other cities), which are affordable, fast (appointments often within 1-2 days) and English-friendly.
Private GP/specialist consultation typically costs about 3,000-6,000 ALL (roughly EUR 30-60), paid out of pocket.

Watch out for

Property quality varies a lot, so viewing several apartments (or starting with a flexible mid-term stay) before committing is wise.
Always confirm exactly what 'furnished' includes (appliances, AC, washing machine, heating) and budget separately for utilities, which spike in winter.
Public-system entitlement is tied to paying contributions to the Mandatory/Compulsory Health Insurance Fund (ISKSH). Around one third of the population is uninsured, and short-stay foreigners without legal residence and contributions generally have no routine access beyond emergency care - so nomads should plan to pay out of pocket or rely on private/travel insurance.
WHO/Europe found financial protection is weak: ~12% of households face catastrophic health spending and ~8% are pushed into or further into poverty by out-of-pocket payments; informal (under-the-table) payments are widespread in both outpatient and inpatient public care.
