The «rush» in the segment of rental housing for university students has started, Hurriyet writes. This year, applicants and those who are already studying were strongly recommended to find and rent a residence in advance, paying for summer weeks as well, so as not to be left without a roof over their heads for the academic year. As, for example, happened last year.
Already, the market of «student» apartments and dormitories in Istanbul is full. Realtors warn that there are at least three applicants for each place: for example, if there are five apartments, fifteen calls are received from those interested – and this was already in early August. So, the closer to the beginning of the school year, the more difficult it will be for students to rent an apartment.
Prices are also rising for the same reason: so, 2 +1 apartments for students in Istanbul Bahcelievler will cost from 5000 to 7000 Turkish lira (TL), and furnished – from 8000 to 1000 TL.
Since these tariffs for university students are now exorbitant, young people are trying to rent housing in groups of 3-4 people. Although realtors warn clients about the risks of renting residences together.
In a number of cities, municipalities are actively building new dormitories to solve the issue of «student rental hype», but not all of them are as lucky as Alanya or Ankara.
