Expatriate Guide: How To Get Good Tehran Apartments For Rent

By Larry Williams


One of the key difficulties that foreign workers experience upon moving to new work destinations is finding quality accommodation. In Iran, however, getting reliable accommodation is relatively easy. A city with a large active urban population, one has numerous options to consider when searching for Tehran apartments for rent.

A vast majority of expatriates who travel to the country for the first time often get posted to the capital. For years, many workers have had their accommodation needs get sorted out by their employers. However, the percentage is smaller compared to those who have to do everything on their own. For most people, making arrangements before traveling is always the best option.

The rental costs in the city have experienced a marked increase over the years thanks to a constant spike in the number of locally based multinationals hiring foreign workers. Even so, the quality of accommodation you get is bound to be high if you pay top dollar. Constructors are angling to get a share of the real estate pie by constructing tasteful buildings, something that always awes rich expatriates.

The best thing you could do is get your finances in order before booking your ticket. Being a Sharia compliant country, you are likely to get into big trouble if you do not pay your rent. Talk to your employer about your options in advance. In the end, you should have a budget that will be able to cater for your stay, food and movement.

If your family is moving along with you, you should think of getting accommodation near the reputable schools around. Majority of the urban residences are well planned with schools and hospitals close by. However, the low cost ones are mainly located far from useful amenities. Plan to reside in a location where your kids will school safely close to their home.

Many of the city based housing units are high end. Many Iranians are rich owing to the abundance of oil in the nation. You may therefore find prices to be high on many basis things. Education and medical care are good examples of highly priced services. If your preferred residence is one in the city center, chances are it will have a pool, health club and sauna within its complex.

One trick to use to get a good place with minimal trouble is to do online research. As internet use is often restricted in the country, ensure you gather the information you need before relocating. There are many online property listings for options within and outside the city center. Some sites also contain crucial pricing information.

In case you already traveled and have not found a good option yet, consider contacting the rental agencies around. There are many scattered within the city. Agencies usually operate using English due to the high number of English speaking clients they regularly serve. As such, your experience should generally be hassle free.

Lastly, try to go over your rental agreement before signing off on it. Iranians take agreements very seriously. A simple violation may land you a hefty fine or jail time. With due diligence, you will certainly enjoy your stay.
