About the Rental Agencies

Prices for the 2003-2004 school year start at around 360€ per person per month in shared apartments. Prices vary depending on the neighbourhood, the building, the apartment, the furnishings and the size of the bedroom that you will be renting. The agencies charge a fee for their services and usually require a deposit (approximately one month's rent) from each student in the apartment. This deposit will be returned when the keys are handed in prior to departure. The cost of any damage to the apartment will be deducted from the deposit. Apartments are rented for full months only. Rent is payable on the 1st of each month. Students who leave their rooms before the end of their contract may forfeit their deposit.

It is highly recommended that you check out the apartment before signing a contract. Having said this, some of the rental agencies, upon request, will

send you general information about the housing services they offer and a reservation form. If you want to make use of this option you must sign the form and return it. Upon receipt, the rental agency will let you know what accommodation is available. In order to confirm your reservation, you will have to transfer the amount payable in advance. The agency will confirm your reservation upon receipt of payment, and send you more detailed information about your accommodation and how to reach their office upon arrival. Please note that, if you are not satisfied with the apartment or your room when you

As a rule someone from the agency will take you to your apartment, acquaint you with the equipment in the apartment (washing machine, etc.) and give you the keys. You should give the agency advance notice of your exact date and time of arrival in order to assure that the appropriate arrangements will be made.

If you have problems with the apartment during your stay there you should contact the agency immediately and if the problem is not solved to your satisfaction you should get in touch with the International Student Advisor. Should you wish to extend your stay beyond your term at ESADE, you should notify your rental agency at least one month in advance. Extensions are contingent on availability.

ANOTHER OPTION – BULLETIN BOARDS

Many students feel that the most efficient way to find accommodation is to

consult the bulletin boards in the three ESADE buildings. Local students

as well as Exchange Students post adverts on these bulletin boards. Most adverts are from students who already have an apartment established and they are looking for one or more students to share the apartment with them. Other ads are posted by private individuals and the adverts are for entire apartments. In these cases several Exchange Students get together to rent the apartment for the duration of their stay in Barcelona. The ads change from day to day. You will also find adverts here from students looking for one or two other students to go with them to the agencies to look for an apartment together. This ensures, to a certain degree, that you will know the people you will be living with.
