10:04 - Landlords are individuals and therefore interaction can vary a lot depending on individuals. Therefore cases to change apartment because of landlord exist. Also, cases of keeping apartments because of "good" landlords exist. Tip about landlords - locals often don't like to be referred to as "lords", but rather prefer terms like "owners" (of home/apartment), etc. And yes, fully monolingual persons do exist in Estonia and not only Estonian or Russian speakers. Among one of the reasons, to use a professional real estate agent. A friend who knows a specific language is a good idea as well. Pets thing has often to do with allergies (landlord may have it for example) and previous negative experience with (very) careless renters.
Good comment, thank you for the tips! Agree, everything is individual. But now I am wandering - what if the owner doesn't speak your language and let's say you don't have a friend who speaks it either, so how would you solve problems if something were to happen with the apartment? My owner said that his wife had an allergy. But since she usually doesn't step a foot in the apartment, he just asked to make a deep cleaning before leaving. All the damages from the cat will of course also be on my charge.
@@olgadergachyova8026 My actual experience is over a decade old, but so from both sides: I was owner and rental at the same time. As I worked in a different region for a while and it made sense to live there. That's why it was so good to bring the language issue out in the video: "meet with the landlord." Language skills vary. The majority are bilingual, or rather, a majority knows at least two languages. Quite many also know a third or a fourth language. Especially among younger people, English tends to be well enlisted. If you do not know each other languages, people search for someone who does: a neighbor, a coworker, or a random person from a street might be able to help, and usually does so. However, it is a whole another topic, if something urgent happens. Still: IF THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE - YOU CALL 112 Do not waste your time thinking about the owner, any owner in the right mind will be thankful for this. Do inform the owner, keep calm, and try to find someone close by, who can help with language if in need (it is quite typical actually). Info for various events: www.olevalmis.ee/en Concerning officials, they are usually required to know several languages. Eg: police patrols work in pairs and good practice is to set them up in a pair in such a way, that linguistic skill coverage would be more highly covered. ---- The Pet topic seems quite typically solved as you described. It is useful to have any settlement in rent contact, should there be any dispute arise afterward. There are few, who do not allow pets of any kind, under any circumstances and there are others who do not care slightest. Usually, those who do not want any pets put it in the ad or inform their's agent - definitely ask. It's still worthy of asking when meeting the owner, even if the ad says no - as in actuality reconsideration may still be on the table.
@@KohaAlbert Thank you for valuable information! I hope the viewers will also read your comments. It is good to have a perspective of someone who has been on both sides. I noticed that many adds do not contain any info about pets, which leaves room for interpretation. I would say that it also depends on the condition of the apartment. Because sometimes it's not necessarily about allergies but also damages. For example if the property is brand new with expensive on-demand furniture, owners are usually quite reluctant. Although I also visited freshly build apartments from an owner who initially didn't want any pets. But she was willing to meet my demands because she had liked me as a potential tenant during the visits. So my advice is always be nice, polite, and caring. The owners may change their mind if they see that they can trust you. Thank you again for taking time to write comments! 🙏🏻
@@DeroxTV glad to hear, that someone found help from it. Her observations seem really good as well, especially for a someone, who's just lately moved into the country. Here's Estonnian/Tallinn broker here in youtube, who's videos seem genuine: ruclips.net/user/GeorgiZanev
Awesome information! Thanks so much for the video. Do I need to have citizenship before I rent an apartment from a private owner or broker? Also is there a way to expedite citizenship process if I want to rent?
This is a great video! ❤. Is there any way to email you with questions or talk on what's up? Thanks! Oh, and your studio is awesome! So stylish. Amazing, its that affordable
Absolutely useful, thank you !! I am moving to Tallin in a month, did rent a studio in Pelgulinn by a known app and want to rent something definetely to register the address. Let me ask you Olga, may I rent a flat paying the corresponding charges on the contract, not having a work contract yet? And also, It would be super great if giving some advises about clothing, personaly I think will get Tallin and buy some clothes there, surely prices ar also a concern. Cheers Fabs
Hi Fabs! Hope you like your new apartment. You don't need any work contract to rent. And about the clothing, to be honest I shop very rarely, so won't have the best advice on the topic, sorry 😅
So sorry, that is not at all my area of expertise. Here, I just shared my own experience mixed with a bit of research. But I've never rented a commercial property and don't want to disinform people.

I haven't explored this topic but can say with confidence that the demand for IT specialists is very high. It is not hard to get a position and immigrate if you are in IT.
Don't even worry about it. Specialists in AI are always in demand, and companies easily hire foreigners. English is usually okay for work. Just start searching for a position remotely. Good luck!
@@unmeshchougule5666 Yeah, for sure! Of course, we all have different needs and desires. But on average, a 2K salary can definitely provide a comfortable living in Tallinn.
Yes. The real obstacle is getting a loan. Not all banks provide mortgage loans for foreigners or temporary residents. Usually, those that do provide them require a much higher initial deposit.

Hi! Personally, I don't have experience with that, but it shouldn't be hard to find. Landlords who rent out illegally without paying taxes are probably more accommodating for short-term rentals. Also, it's not nice, but you could sign a lease agreement for a year and then break it with a one-month prior notice after two months.
Thank you VERY MUCH! I would like to find a place to stay from June 14 to July 26... do you have a room to rent or know of someone? I am quiet, there for some training in downtown with Mindvalley.
It's often a problem here too. But it mostly depends on the state of the apartment I guess. Mine isn't new, so it wasn't too hard. However, it also depends on the owner. I met a very nice Estonian lady with whom we got along pretty well, so she was ready to rent out her brand-new apartment to me and my cat regardless.
Hello sir I’m from Australia please your Video very very good. Please. Vian I’m coming to visit. Please help me. Thanks so much. Very very good video. Zaman Australia
Highly informative, helpful and useful video. By the way, I am also a property broker in the metropolitan city of Dhaka, Bangladesh and I am working in this area for last 15 years. Dhaka is one of the most densely populated city in the world. I like the way of your presentation offers. Here in our country the system is not registered and recognized by the government officially but we do property Sale, Buy or Rental in the same way how you are doing. We take 2% service charges for the sale price of the property Sale and we also take equal to 1 months rent for the rental of any property. Here we have lot of people against lot of properties. Is there any good business opportunity in Estonia which we can develop by sharing information? I would happy if you could provide me any business prospect there in Tallinn? Thanks!

How about the furniture? Did you buy them? Or it was include in the rent?
In my apartment and the majority of apartments for rent here the furniture is included.
All that furniture for 500 EUR a month? That's like winning the lottery :)

Do apartments have gym there? If not then on an average how much that will cost?
Some luxury apartment complexes may have one but average apartment buildings usually don't. A one month pass can cost from 30 and up to 90 euros.
@@HappyLifeAbroad thanks 🙂
@@HappyLifeAbroad so I guess for a monthly salary of around 2k Euros, one can enjoy the life there right? Considering some savings as well.

Hi, what about short term rental apartment, like less then 3 months?
Hi! Personally, I don't have experience with that, but it shouldn't be hard to find. Landlords who rent out illegally without paying taxes are probably more accommodating for short-term rentals.
Also, it's not nice, but you could sign a lease agreement for a year and then break it with a one-month prior notice after two months.

Hi mam good morning
Great video. Is moving in with a cat generally a problem? I find in Budapest about %90 of apartments have a not-pets policy.
It's often a problem here too. But it mostly depends on the state of the apartment I guess. Mine isn't new, so it wasn't too hard. However, it also depends on the owner. I met a very nice Estonian lady with whom we got along pretty well, so she was ready to rent out her brand-new apartment to me and my cat regardless.
Thanks for the info 🙂, nice appartment though
Thank you :)
hello can u help me please??
Hi! Can you share the website/app ypu used to find your current apartment? Thanks!

Is your apartment part of a building? Is there similar apartments in the building for rent?
Yes, it is in a 5 storey building, but I don't know if there are any other apartments for rent here.
@@HappyLifeAbroad Could you please share their website or location / name of building?
i am French but i want to come in Estonia, probably Talinn because i only speak English and not Estonian or Russian lol
