Private Accommodation

Private Accommodation

IMPORTANT

PLEASE BEWARE OF SCAMS as there have been cases of international students being scammed. Be careful if you are asked to pay a deposit, rent or other fees before signing the lease - scammers often create a sense of urgency, claim to live abroad, etc. 

Remember that if you have any doubts, it is better to decline an offer (that sounds too good) than to get scammed. 

Have a look at this practical information which might help you through the searching process. 

Tips from previous exchange students

Important note: We suggest applying for the CU dormitories, the only guaranteed scam-free accommodation managed by Charles University. If you decide to move out of the dorms during your exchange, you simply have to follow the cancellation policy. 

More than 50 % of exchange students stay in private accommodation. This type of housing is managed by students themselves, and the International Office does not provide any guidance on this. Below, you can find some links to private dormitories, search websites or Facebook groups that some of our previous exchange students used. Nevertheless, successfully renting a flat or a room from another country is rather challenging, and can lead to apartment scams.
