The advice for the international students who are going to spend a long time in Torino is to look for a place in a private apartment to rent and share with other tenants. In Italy,the typical rent agreement, in terms of expenditure, involves:

- a deposit, usually the equivalent of two/three months’ rent  (the deposit is refundable at the end of the rental contract and it is subject to deductions for any damage or outstanding debts);

- advance payment amounting to a one-month rent.

The rent amount can vary depending on the area, the conditions of the flat and so on, but you can expect to pay, on average, about € 250/350 per month per person for a single room and about € 200/280 per month per person for a twin room. Sometimes all the expenses (heating, electricity, water, gas and cleaning) are included in the rent. In other cases the rent can be lower, but then you have to add to it the cost of all the utilities.
