Things to Consider Before Renting an Apartment in Malta

In this article, we’ll cover what you need to consider before renting an apartment or a room in Malta.

How to Avoid Rental Scams in Malta

Sometimes, you might come across rental offers that seem too good to be true. These offers could be scams. To ensure the offer is legitimate:

Contact Reliable Agents: Reach out to us to get in touch with 100% reliable real estate agents who can show you the apartment and answer all your questions.

Verify the Advertiser: Check who is advertising the apartment and whether they are part of a reputable real estate agency. If necessary, request the agency’s license.

Virtual Tour: If you’re not in Malta, ask for a video call to verify that the apartment actually exists.

Where to Live if You’re a Student in Malta

Your accommodation location can significantly impact your experience. The best area to live will depend on your destination:

  • University: If you’re attending university, we recommend Msida and Gzira.
  • English Language Schools: St Julians, Swieqi, or Sliema are ideal since many language schools are located in St Julians.
  • Internships: Depending on the location of your company, St Julians, Swieqi, Sliema, Gzira, Msida, and San Gwann are generally good options.

What Are Short Lets and Long Lets and Why Do They Matter?

Long Let: Rentals of 6 months or more. These rentals tend to be more stable and cheaper.

Short Let: Rentals of less than 6 months, considered vacation rentals, with higher daily rates (similar to Airbnb).

Students often need to rent for 2-5 months, which doesn’t fit a Long Let contract and can be expensive. We negotiate with property owners who offer Long Let rentals to adjust them for shorter periods, keeping the price much lower than vacation rentals.
