Mieten in Italy

Partially verified Zuletzt geprüft June 15, 2026 Reviewed by Henry van de Vorming

Italy's standard long-term lease is the "4+4" free-market contract (contratto di locazione a canone libero) that runs four years and auto-renews for four more, with shorter transitory (1-18 month) and student (6-36 month) contracts available for newcomers. Expect to pay a deposit plus, when using an agency, a broker fee upfront, register the contract with the tax authority, and declare your address (residenza) at the local comune.

Maklergebühr: When renting through an agency, the tenant typically pays the broker fee, usually equal to about one month's rent plus 22% VAT (so roughly 1.2 months' rent); some direct-from-owner platforms avoid this fee.

Adressregistrierung

Residents must file a declaration of residence (dichiarazione di residenza / iscrizione anagrafica) at the anagrafe of their local comune to obtain residenza — the official municipal address registration, due within 20 days of moving (Art. 13, DPR 223/1989) and required for healthcare enrollment and most administrative services.

Ihre Rechte als Mieter

The common 4+4 free-market contract gives tenants strong tenure (up to eight years); a tenant can end it early with six months' written notice if the contract includes a withdrawal clause or for serious justified reasons (gravi motivi, under Art. 3 of Law 431/1998). Rental contracts longer than 30 days must be registered with the Agenzia delle Entrate within 30 days, with registration tax split equally between landlord and tenant.

Gut zu wissen

  • Long-term 4+4 contracts give tenants secure tenure of up to eight years, with early exit on six months' notice for serious justified reasons or if a withdrawal clause is included
  • Transitory (1-18 month) and student (6-36 month) contracts plus platforms like Flatio and Uniplaces serve mid-term, furnished stays suited to nomads
  • Large, well-developed listing portals (Immobiliare.it, Idealista, Casa.it) make searching by city, neighborhood and budget straightforward
  • Furnished apartments are available in expat- and student-oriented city markets, though move-in-ready furnished units can be scarcer for shared flats and in peak season

Worauf Sie achten sollten

  • Upfront costs are steep: a deposit (commonly two to three months' rent) plus an agency fee of roughly one month + 22% VAT means setting aside several months' rent before moving in
  • Apartments listed as unfurnished (non arredato) can be near-empty shells, sometimes lacking kitchen cabinets, appliances and light fittings
  • You must declare your address (residenza) at the comune within 20 days of moving; the municipality verifies the self-declared address, including a check by municipal police, within 45 days
  • Online listings, especially on social media, attract scams — verify the property and never pay before viewing or before a written contract
