Renting an Apartment in Florence as a Foreigner — The Reality Nobody Explains (Part 1)

Описание: Finding an apartment in Florence can look romantic online… but the reality is often very different — especially if you’re a foreigner.

In this video, I will share the real truth about renting in Florence and the things nobody clearly explains before you start searching.

I take you step-by-step through 2 websites that I personally use most — Idealista and Subito — showing how to search for apartments in different price ranges (from under €1000 to luxury listings), what to look for in a listing, and what details many people miss.

I also talk about the hidden costs that are often NOT included in the rent, such as:
• condominio fees
• waste tax (TARI)
• TV license fee
• heating costs
• the difference between riscaldamento autonomo and centralizzato
• and other practical realities of renting in Florence as a straniera.

If you’re planning to move to Florence — or dreaming about living in Italy — this video will help you avoid expensive surprises and understand how renting actually works here.
