How much does it cost to rent a property inÌýSeville? Although prices vary enormously, finding a good quality home at a reasonable price in the city is relatively easy. Whether you are looking for a one or two-bedroom apartment, villa or room in a house, there are plenty of choices. As with any other city, the same general rule applies - rental prices are more expensive closer to the city center.

According toÌý, a global crowdsourced database, the monthly rent for a one-bedroom city center apartment is between 500 euros and 800 euros per month, while the rent for a one-bedroom property outside the center is between 375 euros and 550 euros.

If you need more space, a three-bedroom property in central areas will set you back between 800 euros and 1,300 euros per month, while the rent for a similar home outside of the center costs between 650 euros and 900 euros per month.

Additional costs when renting in Seville

In addition to paying the monthly rent, you will pay other costs. These include water, gas, electricity, and internet/telephone costs. Before signing the rental contract in Seville, ask your landlord to summarise the average costs of your utility bills for the summer and winter.Ìý

The average cost for utilities for an 85m² apartment is between 95 and 250 euros per month. You will probably also have to pay the Basura or rubbish tax, a quarterly bill for the rubbish collection.

You may even have to pay IBI (Impuesto Sobre Bienes Inmeuble), a local town hall or municipal tax. Typically, the landlord will pay this, but the rental contract may stipulate a different arrangement.

Expect to be asked to pay an upfront deposit of at least one month's rent which will be returned to you in full at the end of the rental period. The landlord or agent can only keep part or all of this money if you damage something or don't pay your rent.
