Alquilar en Greece

Partially verified Última verificación June 15, 2026 Reviewed by Henry van de Vorming

In Greece, residential leases carry a legally mandated three-year minimum term, and most long-term apartments in cities like Athens are rented furnished or part-furnished. Newcomers generally need a Greek tax number (AFM) before signing, and the written contract must be registered with the tax authority for the tenant to have full legal protection.

Comisión de agencia: When a real estate agent is involved, the tenant typically pays the agency a commission of roughly one month's rent (plus VAT). Fees are not legally fixed and are negotiable; owners who list directly (e.g. via Facebook groups) often charge no agency fee.

Registro de domicilio

There is no single municipal address-registration like a German Anmeldung. Instead, EU/EEA citizens staying over three months apply for an EU registration certificate at the local police/immigration authority, and non-EU residents register through their residence permit. A Greek tax number (AFM) is required to sign a lease, and the lease itself must be declared/registered with the tax authority (AADE, via Taxisnet) for the tenant to be fully protected.

Tus derechos como inquilino

Residential tenants benefit from a mandatory three-year minimum lease (binding even if a shorter term is written) and cannot normally be evicted without legal cause during that term; rent cannot be raised mid-term unless the contract contains an escalation clause, and evictions require a court order.

Conviene saber

  • Most city apartments come furnished or part-furnished, easing arrival for newcomers
  • The legal three-year minimum lease gives long-term tenants strong security of tenure
  • Security deposits are not legally fixed but customarily run one to two months' rent (negotiable)
  • Large, English-friendly listing portals (Spitogatos, XE) plus active Facebook expat groups make searching easy

A tener en cuenta

  • You usually need a Greek tax number (AFM) before a landlord will sign, so arrange it early
  • Insist the lease is registered with the tax authority (Taxisnet/AADE) - without registration your legal protection is limited
  • If an agent is used, budget roughly one extra month's rent as commission on top of the deposit and first month
  • Furnished mid-term/short-term supply is increasingly tight and pricey in nomad-popular Athens neighbourhoods (Koukaki, Pangrati, Kolonaki); watch for deposit-return disputes and online rental scams
