Apartments for rent

Apartment rentals by city

The capital has the most rental listings, so if you are looking in Vilnius, start with apartments for rent in Vilnius. In the port city, browse apartments for rent in Klaipėda, and in northern Lithuania, look at apartments for rent in Šiauliai. Smaller towns have fewer rental offers, so save your search and check listings more often.

How much will renting really cost?

The advertised price is usually just the monthly rent. To compare apartments, ask:

• How much deposit is required and when it is refunded.
• The average cost of winter heating and other utilities.
• Whether internet, building administration and a parking space are included.
• Whether renting through an agency involves an agency fee.

Long-term or short-term renting?

Most listings offer long-term apartment rentals with agreements lasting at least several months. In resorts such as Palanga and Druskininkai, some apartments are let to holidaymakers for short stays in summer, so check in advance whether the terms of a long-term rental will change during the season.

How can you avoid misunderstandings?

Do not transfer a deposit or initial payment before viewing the apartment and signing the agreement. Include the rental term, termination notice requirements and responsibility for repairing appliances. Photograph the apartment's condition and record meter readings when moving in: this helps with the deposit refund, especially when renting directly from an owner. A written long-term tenancy agreement also allows you to declare your place of residence in the rented apartment. If you are considering buying, browse apartments for sale.
