RENTING AN APARTMENT IN SERBIA
All university towns have a lot of rental apartments and rooms for students.
The best and safest way to rent an apartment in Serbia is to hire a licensed real estate agent to ensure a higher level of legal security and reduce the possibility of illegal mediation activities.
You can check whether a real estate agent has a license on the official website of the Ministry of Internal and Foreign Trade by entering the agency’s name or the serial number under which they are registered. The register also contains all the data regarding the agency and information about agents who work there.
Before making any payments for your apartment, make sure first to sign a contract after you read it thoroughly and ensure that it doesn’t contain any misinformation or terms that weren’t agreed upon.
Here is a list of licensed real estate agencies in some of the major cities in Serbia.

STUDENT DORMS FOR EXCHANGE STUDENTS
If you are coming to Serbia through a student exchange programme, check whether it is possible to book a room in student dormitories through that program. Please keep in mind that there is a selection process involved and that there are usually many students who want to live in dormitories. For more information on student dormitories, visit the websites of student centres in university towns.
