How much does student rent cost in Montpellier?
The cost of rent depends on many different things, like which city and district it’s in, the state of the building, whether there’s a lift or not, the year it was built, the size of the living space, the state of the accommodation, whether it’s furnished or unfurnished and so on. This is why real estate prices can vary from one flat to another, even in the same district.
Students in Montpellier generally opt for studios or large shared flats. According to the rent observatory, in 2017, the average rent in Montpellier was €550/month excluding bills for one-bedroom flats, across all populations. According to the head of the UNEF in Montpellier, in 2018 the total student budget amounted to an average of €874 per month. As accommodation is the main expense, student residences are in high demand because their rent is usually more affordable.
In addition to rent, you have to add expenses such as utilities (water, electricity, household waste, maintenance of common areas, etc.), purchasing furniture, home insurance, an Internet connection, agency fees for the inventory of fixtures, etc. So when you’re setting your housing budget it needs to include much more than just rent.
