Apartments for rent in Šiauliai

Where should you rent an apartment in Šiauliai?

The centre has the most rental listings, close to the Vilniaus Street pedestrian boulevard, Lake Talša and many cafes and shops. Students may prefer to live near Vilnius University's Šiauliai Academy, while families often choose Lieporiai, Gytariai or Dainiai for nearby nurseries and schools. Rents are generally lower farther from the centre, and apartments for rent in Šiauliai usually cost less than in Vilnius or Kaunas.

How should you compare apartments?

Apartments for rent in Šiauliai differ in more than monthly rent, so compare the total amount you will pay:

• Heating bills. These can differ significantly between renovated and unrenovated buildings, so ask for last winter's bills.
• What is included. Check whether internet, building administration and water are paid separately.
• Furnishings and equipment. Check that appliances work and that you can move in without extra purchases.
• Parking. Courtyards in older neighbourhoods often have limited spaces.
• Declaring residence. A tenancy agreement or the owner's consent is sufficient to declare your place of residence.

Before signing the agreement

A long-term tenancy agreement for an apartment in Šiauliai should be in writing: include the rent, deposit and refund conditions, rental term and termination notice requirements. Transfer the deposit only after viewing the apartment. Renting directly from an owner involves no agency fee: choose the advertiser type “Private” to find apartments for rent in Šiauliai without intermediaries.
