A smaller market, a shorter window to decide

In districts like Přerov the rental market works differently than in the regional capitals. There are an order of magnitude fewer flats at any moment, so you choose less by location or fittings and more by what happens to be free. On the other hand rents here are lower than in Olomouc or Ostrava, both of which are about half an hour away by train.

For a tenant that means two things. First, watching new listings continuously pays off more than a one-off search. Second, it is worth looking beyond Přerov - Lipník nad Bečvou and Hranice are full towns with schools and shops, not satellites.

Where to look in the district

MunicipalityWhat to expect from a tenancy
PřerovThe largest share of the district's rental offer. Closest to work, offices, the hospital and the railway junction.
Lipník nad BečvouA quieter town with a historic core. A smaller offer, but rents tend to be lower.
HraniceA town at the edge of the Moravian Gate. The rental offer is irregular, so an alert helps.
Kojetín and nearby villagesSmaller municipalities within reach of Přerov. Suitable if you drive.

Before you sign

  • What the price coversCheck whether the advertised figure includes advances for energy and services, or only the rent itself.
  • Length of the tenancyFind out whether the contract is for a fixed term and what follows when it expires.
  • DepositCzech law caps the security deposit at three months' rent. Get the amount and the conditions for its return in writing.
  • Handover protocolRecord the condition of the flat at handover and add photographs. It protects both sides.
  • Links to Olomouc and OstravaIf you commute, check how many services run at your time of day. There are far more from Přerov than from the smaller municipalities of the district.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the page also show flats outside the town of Přerov?

Because it covers the whole Přerov District. The rental market here is small, and restricting yourself to one town usually means seeing only part of the offer. The summary above the listing states how many flats are in Přerov itself.

Is it worth living in Přerov and commuting to Olomouc?

For many people yes, because rents are lower and the train journey is short. Do add up the total cost including fares and time, though, not just the difference in rent.

Do you charge for showing the contact?

No. The contact for the owner or the agency is visible on every listing without registration and without a fee.
