Average 1+kk rent runs 297 CZK/m² in Q1 2026 (about 10,500 CZK/month); 1+1 and 2+kk around 243–244 CZK/m² (13,000 – 14,000 CZK).

Main interchanges: Hlavní nádraží, Elektra, Karolina, Náměstí Republiky. Ostrava is sprawling (over 40 km²), so tram proximity matters – tram 7 from Poruba to center takes about 25 minutes.
How to Rent Safely in Ostrava – Step by Step
Five practical steps that protect you from common rental issues.
- Verify the deposit.By Czech Civil Code, maximum 3 months' rent. In Ostrava, one to two months is standard – in Ostrava-Jih panel flats often just one month.
- Check the agency commission.Standard is one month's rent + 21% VAT. Agency competition in Ostrava is lower than in Prague/Brno, so the tenant typically pays.
- Calculate utilities.Typically 2,500 – 4,500 CZK per month. For 1960s/70s panel buildings, check windows and insulation – annual costs can surprise.
- Insist on a written lease.Fixed-term with clear termination, notice period, deposit, and inventory. Student leases typically run 10 months.
- Document handover with photos.Meter readings, condition of apartment and furnishings, photos of every room.
